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!

Two quick things:

There's movement at the station. Conjecture is alive! Maybe too late for those who've committed travel money elsewhere, but for the undecided it's great that there's been some progress. Please consider coming. It'll be fun. Think of the chocolate!

Clarion South needs your help. This year, unexpected venue changes and last-minute tutor cancellations emptied the coffers of this well-spring of future talent. (Excuse the mixed metaphors. How did I ever get to be a tutor?) If you're able to help, it would be greatly appreciated. Paying forward isn't all about getting up in front of a class and pretending to be evil.

That's all for now.
