Is this some kind of impossible zen koan-type question?

Can I add my name to the list please - am I supposed to do so somewhere else on this blog - I am a new subscriber as of yesterday - Patriciagrace

cbell · 05-29-2009, 09:00 PM

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.

Laine · 06-02-2009, 06:43 AM

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.

Sweetpea · 06-02-2009, 07:22 AM

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

Laine · 06-04-2009, 10:37 AM

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.

vivaldirules · 06-04-2009, 10:44 AM

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

cbell · 06-05-2009, 02:49 AM

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

cbell · 06-05-2009, 08:23 PM

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!

sianon · 06-05-2009, 10:13 PM

Yep, I will be there, looking forward to it.

millydog · 06-08-2009, 08:23 AM

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.

C U there

Laine · 06-11-2009, 06:26 AM

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

excitement is building...

cbell · 06-11-2009, 10:39 PM

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!
