Could it be in Melbourne, Australia? (I'm guessing from your earlier post that you're coming to Worldcon.)

[elisem]

It could indeed, if we can figure out how to get the right supplies and tools there. But I have a thought: if somebody in the Melbourne area (or going there from some less-far-away-and-travel-restrictive place than where I am) is in the market for some good tools, I would be willing to split the cost of those tools with them if I could have the use of them whenever I'm in town. Then we'd order the tools to be sent to their location, and they'd bring them to the convention. And I could use them to teach, sharing them as needed. (Given my arthritis, "good tools" to me would be a set of Lindstroms. Not cheap, but half-price is a pretty serious deal, even with the lending clause.)

And yup, Worldcon in Melbourne. (Also NZ national convention in Wellington the weekend before that. Whee! SO EXCITED!)

I was also wondering about the possibility of remote lessons via videochat. What do you think?

[elisem]

Oh, now, that is a very interesting idea!

I may want to do a separate auction for that, since it's a bit of an experiment. I'm not sure how it would work, but it could be really interesting to try.

Hmm! Thank you for the idea. I shall ponder this, and put it up if I think it'll work. Which it might indeed.
