Julie Czerneda + Pirate Ditmar Party

[adelaidesean]

Next Thursday, June 4, Julie Czerneda will be appearing at Dymocks Rundle Mall to give a reading and take questions. Come along at 6.00 for a 6.30 start to get the jump on what Conjecture's very special guest will be sharing with us over the weekend. There will be plenty of nibbles and drinks.

THEN immediately afterwards everyone is invited to come to the cocktail lounge of the Electric Light Hotel for a Pirate Ditmar Party. Why pirates? Because they're always cool. Why Ditmars? Well, it's a long story. There won't be any actual awards (probably) but there will be Haigh's chocolate frogs in honour of the infamous Suncon cane toads. If you don't know what that means, come along and find out!

Both events are within walking distance of the Holiday Inn. Here and here are directions.

Please feel free to pass this on to anyone who might be interested.

I hope to see you there!

Rats. I won't be there. Have a wonderful time and eat a chocolate frog for me!

Ah, sadness! I'll save you a choc frog for later. When do you get into town? It'll be great to see you.

I get in Friday morning. Fri pm I'm being taken to a couple of bookshops by the local HC rep. Other than that I am utterly clueless. *g* But then that's pretty much status quo for moi.

So looking forward to catching up!!!!!

You're always welcome to come to my party on Friday night :) Just a dinner down the street with a few cool peeps like Sean here!

[karenmiller.livejournal.com]

Oh, that would be fantabulous!!! Thank you. Can you email me with details?

[nyssa-p.livejournal.com]

Woot! What email address is best?

[karenmiller.livejournal.com]

Love pirates but I work Thursday nights, so can't make it. Though I would love to.
Oh, I remember the cane toads! (well, at least I remember some cane toads at a con, which I am sure was the same one you mentioned... awards weren't they?)
:)

I found out about Conjecture way too late to book some hols.
:(

Ah, that's a shame on all counts. It'll be fun.

The Suncon cane toads were notoriously ugly Ditmar statuettes handed out in Brisbane a few years back. What were they thinking? Chocolate frogs are much, much better!

Maybe I'll have one giant frog chocolate for best pirate on the night. Hmm, now there's a thought...

[nyssa-p.livejournal.com]

But I left my cutlass in sydney! :P

[seanwilliams.livejournal.com]

And your heart in San Francisco? :-)

[firenzekat.livejournal.com]

Yep, Chocolate frogs are definately better!

[cherylmmorgan.livejournal.com]

Darn, left my parrot in the UK!

And actually I'll be in Sydney that night. Sorry.

[seanwilliams.livejournal.com]

Alas! But you are still coming to Adelaide, right? If so, that's really good news. I'll look forward to hanging out another time, and I'll even save you a chocolate frog. :-)

[cherylmmorgan.livejournal.com]

Mmm, chocolate frog.... :-)

Yes, I will be there, provided that I am very careful in New Zealand and do not contract the slightest sniffle, because if I do I'm sure that the Aussie border patrol people will diagnose it as a new and deadly strain of sheep flu and not let me back in.

Always assuming that I'm let into New Zealand, of course. Who knows what terrible germs a day in Melbourne can supply.

HAve fun. Don't walk the plank, unless there's water in the swimming pool.

So Dave had told me there was a party, but neglected to tll me it was a PIRATE party. He tells me this only after we've loaded the car up and driven thousands of miles....with our pirate costumes back in Perth!

[seanwilliams.livejournal.com]

If I'd got my shit together sooner, Dave might have known. My bad!

Looking forward to seeing you. Have fun touring SA!
