I'll be there. (I'll possibly suggest we move up the road but I'll leave it for the moment.)

How will we recognise each other? VB paraphernalia? Paperbacks?

For those that don't know the area, the Erko is at 102 Erskineville Rd. Turn left out of the Erskineville station, walk 100 metres and cross the road. It's the big vaguely art deco building with a car park to the left.

I'll be the girl with short dark hair and glasses. Possibly nursing a pint. Mail me at allie At dirtchild Dot com if you need anymore information.

I'll be there too. I'll be the man with short hair and glasses. I believe we have a recognition tag happening - soi-disant, that ponytail has to go.

Now, if you could move it 1,000 k up the road ....

God bless our cricket overlords but is there many kiwi Metafites out there?

Something else about the Bledisloe.

Tarrama, if we were going to go overseas, we would go somewhere decent like New Zealand.

Yes, but if you're even thinking about a Meetup, it has to be Auckland. Auckland, I tell you. Home of, home of...um, really expensive parking.

Can't afford trip to Welly right this moment...

I'll probably be the only indian guy there with short hair and glasses :) Oh and a baseball cap with redbacks on it.

I will give a rain-check this time - I was hoping to be in Newcastle on the 1st, but circumstances keep me on the Gold Coast today. Take lots of pictures.
