Re: Australasia in the Playground V
So, what are peoples plans for Australia Day? I'm meeting some friends and hanging out. Nothing really exciting, but should still be worth while.
You?

Re: Australasia in the Playground V
I'm trying to work that out. Not many Australian flags to drape 'round my neck like a bogan superhero here in Scotland...

Re: Australasia in the Playground V
I don't have anything special planned, either. Will probably head into the city to pick up some last-minute stuff for Waicon, but nothing specific to Australia Day.

Re: Australasia in the Playground V
I plan to stay the hell inside and avoid the tirade of mild to extreme racism that spews forth every year.
Although I'll probably have to listen to my housemates yelling at each other in hindi like they have the past few days.

My plans for today? Sleep in, Skyrim, and Shave.

Re: Australasia in the Playground V
I happened to be in town last year, too. Fortunately I was out of there before things went nuts. Hopefully this year as well, but it's the heat I'm more worried about right now.
EDIT: Dad says stores aren't open today. Just goes to show how oblivious I am and how much I need to ned out more. Derp. I could've sworn I bought other stuff last year, but that must've been the YuGiOh event I was at...
...Speaking of those, feel free to come along to one of them if you don't already! You'll recognise me by my rather distinctive being-the-only-female-duelist appearance.Last edited by DarkLightDragon; 2012-01-25 at 10:23 PM.

Re: Australasia in the Playground V
Heya DLD, are you actually going to the Waicon thing on Sat?
I just ask because I think I may be heading down to it with my brother late in the afternoon (he'll be my ride out of the city, so can't abandon him sadly )
Never been to one before/don't have any costume or anything. Anything interesting to look out for for the average person?

Re: Australasia in the Playground V
Well, I've already spent most of my day messing around with my tablet on Corel Painter...
I suppose I could spend the rest of the day doing that too. Hooray for patriotism!

Re: Australasia in the Playground V
I forgot that it was Australia Day.
I'm hiding in the aircon... too stupidly hot over here.

Re: Australasia in the Playground V
I was planning to go both days, but Saturday is now out of the question since I've found out that a grandparent's birthday is on that day. In Bunbury.
I should be able to get to the con on Sunday if I can get my older brother and his girlfriend to let me go home early with them. If I make it, I'll be wearing lots of purple (Haunter Gijinka closet cosplay! Yay!) and probably hanging around the TWA table.
I'd say there's some interesting things to look out for. Some of the cosplayers are really good, and last year there was a huge games room set up to the side of the main event. Should be the same this time around.
I personally prefer Supanova, but Waicon is pretty fun, too.Click to view my dragons and help them grow!

Re: Australasia in the Playground V
So, housemates decided today they no longer like living with two cats. We were given the option of 'give them away' or 'take one month's notice to move out.'
We're looking for places now.

Re: Australasia in the Playground V
Hmmm.. It may be just a teensy bit late, but do any playgrounders feel like meeting up some time at Cancon either the day after tomorrow or that day after that (given there'll be no chance of pulling anything off tomorrow). I'll hopefully be embroiled in the Youngbloods 40k tournament for the better half of the first two days, but it'd still be nice to meet a couple of the other playgrounders face to face.

Unfortunately, the only known Canberrian now lives in Brisbane.

Re: Australasia in the Playground V
True, (other than myself and Zoot) but I believe there may be a few playgrounders down here for Cancon, yes?

Re: Australasia in the Playground V
Ahha! I now know two Canberrians. I also now know that Cancon is on this weekend as of a few minutes ago.
I wouldn't know if anyone else is going, but I can say that I didn't even know it was on. So, I'm suspecting the number of attendees reading this thread will be low.

Re: Australasia in the Playground V
What is this thing you're talking about? Because it sounds like fun and I live in Perth
Though I've spent the entire last week in the house with the air con on, hiding from the frigging heatwave - not sure I'm brave enough to leave... Our air con is evaporative and sucky, but it's better than nothing!

Re: Australasia in the Playground V
Good point I hadn't actually noticed.
Would you like me to change it, just for you?

Re: Australasia in the Playground V
What did I do for Australia day?
I went birdwatching... and then got caught in a thunderstorm.
After being in the 40 Celsius heat, it was glorious!
Oh and a kindly fellow birdwatcher couple invited me for Oz day roast lamb and red wine. Good day was good
Also I am sooo glad that it's not 42 Celsius today...Last edited by Rising Phoenix; 2012-01-28 at 03:06 AM.

Re: Australasia in the Playground V
Well, I just discovered that uni starts again this week. Cue panicking.
Well, that was yesterday. I've got it all sorted out now, so that's something. And I'm also glad to see that I'm not the only one that is sick of the heat (though it hasn't been 40C here yet, thank God).
