Inconvenienced by rugby! (Only in NZ!)

May 18, 2011 19:35

I've been mulling this over for a while, but Dewey very efficiently brought it back to my and China's attention today, namely that our general date-vicinity is smack dab in the middle of plastic waka festival 2011 ( Read more... )

dates, 2011, preliminary posts

Schedule of matches and locations is here. (had to check for work)

arysteia May 18 2011, 08:30:31 UTC

Yeah, I've got that. More concerned about people's internal clashes if I shift it.

ETA: there's a game in Wellington both days of our usual weekend!

Yep, which is why I pointed out the dates. They are just screwing with you now. At least I should be able to get to Christchurch if I have to do a visit during Sep/Oct. Palmy is going to be a problem, though.

Also, can't reply to the post because it's screened ;)

The whole thing is getting on my wick! Term is longer than it should be, hols are in the wrong place... It's enough to make a rugger fan watch soccer. Humbug.

And it's a non-election year and home ground -- it's that prime choking time? ;)

I will hopefully be done and back in New Zealand by mid-September, but definitely can't make anything before that. Not sure about anything after either, but in theory I'm free from then on.

(Excited! I'm so sad I missed last year's.)

You *kill* me with that icon!

But yay, we definitely want you to come... <3<3<3

Dewey - from Dunedin dewey3067 May 18 2011, 08:56:03 UTC

dates that do not work:
June 26-July 9
mid-late December

Other than that I'm clear. Major consideration would be lodging, but as I said, I am willing to book a group of rooms early (as long as cancellations are allowed by hotel) and can hold them for non-Wellington folks. Esp. if we wanted rooms in Kilburnie to be closer.

It is also very possible I could come up earlier on the g/t Friday to help with stuff or do some things from Dunedin. My specialty is disk burning. *g* Or just let me know what would help you most.

Good Luck!

Just to confirm that I should be pretty easy about any dates. Good luck. :-)

Ever reliable. ;-p
