We are all signed up from here in VCE and looking forward to it. Thank you organizers!
We're sorry we won't be seeing Audrey and Leon this year. Best regards to you both from Kathy and me. ^

event booking queston
I've signed up and purchased Main Events. Does that include the dinner head count (pay as you go) or was I supposed to add a ticket for the $0.00 dinners. If so, can I update?
Also please list me as staying at Crowne Plaza, arriving Friday, departing Monday.
Thank you for your work organizing.

Sunday dinner is an additional ticket if you want to attend that. Is a "head count" with pay as you go at the venue.

It actually can happen, but everyday bath furniture (Shape of basin, plughole, bath) as well as lower (water efficient) volumes interferes too much in the slight influence of the Coriolis forces for consistency.
If you obtain a large circular tub with a central circular drain, fill it with at least 500 litres of water, ensure the water is perfectly still and unplug the drain without disturbing the water then the alternate hemispheres' effects of the Coriolis can be observed.
Me? I'll drop a symmetrically round strawberry in a nice flute of dry cava and watch it rotate for several minutes ... a little before I consume them both

The link is not working for me. It just goes to generic TryBooking site and I need to search for event and obviously searching for wrong event.

Upgrade me to Platinum, please!
Arriving Thurs., 11:05 am, VA 1102 from BNE.
Leaving Mon., 2:25 pm, VA 1594 to MEL. (In Melbourne until the next morning, 11:30 flight out. Anyone who's interested in dinner or whatever there on the 29th, please get in touch. I recall an AFF dinner at the Blue Train there, after OzFest 11 in the Red Centre, that was a lot of fun.)
Will sign up for the full slate of activities when I get a chance; hotel information coming when I have it. Have to teach a class right now, so that might not be until tomorrow.

Updates:
1. I think I signed up for everything. If I got something wrong, could one of the organizers please let me know?
2. Booked a room at the Crowne Plaza for Thurs-Sun nights (checking out Monday).
(Still have to get a room in Melbourne for Monday night, but they're not hard to find and that's not an OzFest issue anyhow.)
