Now that the date has moved (Sons Birthday on the 5th), I might get "parole" for that weekend. So from "no go" - I'm a 75% chance  ^^^

I have booked my flight. Will be just coming up for the Saturday as it is my son's birthday on Sunday

Would be good to get some caps made up. This would be easier than shirts as don't have to worry about different sizes.

My wife, son & I will be attending, just need to decide where we are going to stay. We'll be driving up so I think staying somewhere close to Darling Harbour will be likely.

Now that the dates changed to the 16th & 17th .( My birthday & Mothers day on the 10th.)

Hey Spurry the minibus could be the way to go.
cheers Steve.

My brother (Glen) & I will be there for sure.

If any one is looking for some reasonable accomodation there is a Big 4 Holiday Park nextdoor to where I live. http://sydney-gateway-holiday-park.nsw.big4.com.au/ (http://sydney-gateway-holiday-park.nsw.big4.com.au/). About 35km out from Petersham. Best thing is, if I recall... they have 2 pinnies in the Games Room that can occupy your time between the expo :)

Lads,

Have to be honest here - the only reason I'm coming to Expo is to meet and hang out with you guys. I don't give a flying f**k about the games - it is the people in the hobby, that is what maked it for me  ^^^

Nino - none of this 75% BS - my friend you better be there  *%*

End of story...so how many more sleeps?

I can see the joke in the comments by Sinbad (Greg).  :D

I guess you can wear any T-Shirt you like to the event. We have plans to make our own merchandise (T-Shirts, Caps, bumper stickers etc..).

So next year Sinbad, Tony and anyone else that buys a T-Shirt will be instantly recognizable.

Have to sit down with my wife and check her calendar; but I am hoping to make it. It is near my birthday so that is a good excuse to go.
