The upshot of it is if you're from Oz you can come say hi at Sydney's Supanova convention, Olympic Park: [link] 21st -23rd June

Really enjoyed exploring Oz, mostly Sydney so far, though tomorrow I go into the Hunter Valley vineyard region and do some wine tasting!

For those curious, this is my second time in Australia, the first was 6 years ago on my 'gap year' (Well 6 months) I just wanted to see all of it and as such traveled round like a maniac. It meant I didn't stop for long and I wasn't with the same people for very long, so didn't make many close friends. Then I fell in love for the first time and had my heart broken, it was a tough experience going through that on your own. So Australia for me comes with mixed emotions. My first time there really did make me realise what was important to me, and how much I value my friends, kind strangers, and companionship. The big rock in the middle is just a big rock if you don't have anyone to share it with. This time round I have taken time to hang out with some really awesome people, got well into my first real DnD game, and tonight I've been invited to an Star Wars miniatures game, which I have little idea about but should be a laugh. Many thanks to the guys from The Nerd Cave and Good Game Town Hall for making me feel really welcome despite my slurred jetlagged-ness XD 

Went back to the retro future today and rode the monorail before it's destroyed at the end of the month!
