Hi patriciagrace, you're added and I look forward to meeting you at Koko Black!

I hope the weather is like yesterday's for our meeting - it was a perfect Melbourne day.

I have the weather forecast for 8 cities on my phone. For the last 2 weeks Melbourne has been nicer than Sydney. Bet I bring our weather with me. BEG

Train ticket is in my handbag. I think my hotel is booked. I decided to go for 5*. I need a little spoiling.

Could you reschedule? Not sure if I'll be able to catch a plane by then...

My husband has just informed me that when I come home I have to stay home for a week. Apparently the government is asking people who go to Melbourne not to mix with others but go into voluntary quarantine when they come back.
I have a room booked at the Stamford Plaza. Looking forward to it.

Unfortunately, I'm going to miss this. I think I'll be there in July but even that is still uncertain.

Sweetpea and vivaldirules, hopefully you'll make it to our next MR meetup!

Laine, the Stamford is wonderful! I went to a conference there a few months ago and would have loved to stay overnight.

I think a week in quarantine at home would be great - as long as I wasn't sick!

I'm looking forward to the meetup very much. We may have as many as 15 people there

Oh, someone has chosen "Neither of these work, Can we reschedule?".

I expect we'll have another meetup before long, so hopefully you can join us then.

I'm sending a PM to all those who've shown interest in attending - if I miss anyone, please let me know.

Of course, everyone's very welcome to attend!

I'm coming too. I know that cbell will bring an iLiad V2, but that's all I have so I'll bring mine too. I guess I'll look for the people holding their ereaders.
Is anyone bringing a Kindle? I'd really love to see that. I'd also like to see Sony 505 and 700.

Got the train last night from Sydney and am here in my beautiful room at the Stamford Plaza. So I'll definately be there.

I've confirmed our booking today and we're all set to go! I've booked 15 people for 11am, Koko Black 52 Collins St Melbourne. Look for the Mobileread sign when you arrive. I wonder how many people will attend?

Hopefully, Laine can connect her Vaio to a hotspot and we'll do a live feed back to MR.

I'm bringing a Cybook. See you all there!
