New community for get/together - the Wellywood slash thingy
I've set up a comm for the thingy. Which now has a name. China and I wracked our brains and came up with get/together. Because it's Not a Con, but it is a get together. And a slash one at that. ;-p
So henceforth all posts will be at get__together. Note the double underscore - some selfish Russians have the single, despite not using their journal. Grrr arrgh.
The following post is also available there, so head on over and join!

We have our own community. I have informed my loved ones that they have to get out of the house Nov 26/27th. You all appear to be coming. Or trying. This thing is definitely happening now. Resistance is futile.
I'm going to make a call and say that we're going ahead with those dates, since most people said yes, a couple said maybe, and noone said no to it as a possibility. I now need you all to make a call about which day if any you want to include as a third - the Monday or the Friday. It would seem sensible, especially if you're flying in.
I've just had a quick look at the Air New Zealand website, and boy, time difference is a lot more annoying Sydney-Wellington than Wellington-Sydney. Ooh! I've just checked Qantas, and they're considerably cheaper. Bah humbug AirNZ!!! Anyway. If you took Friday off you could get in here in the early afternoon, see a bit of the town, we could all go for dinner and drinks, have an orientation etc, slash away merrily all weekend, and you could fly out crack of dawn Monday and still make it to work on time! (Sadly there are no Sunday night flights. Meh.) But have a look and talk among yourselves, guys.
In the interests of keeping costs down, and also upping the whole slumber party quality, I'm hereby extending an invitation to all the Aussies to bring a sleeping bag and crash at Stately Luthor Manor1. You all seem to know each other pretty well, and it'll be fun. If you'd prefer a hotel room, I can, of course, recommend one.
So. Please join this community, investigate your bookings, and let's start talking turkey. Yaye!!!
1. The name by which my house shall be known here, to protect it from axe-murderers who trawl the internet pretending to be teenage girls when really they are truckers from Arkansas.
