I haven't made much progress with writing up or uploading photos from Aus, but there's a good reason for it... No sooner had I got home, than I went off haring round the A&P show on Friday, then have spent this weekend in Wellington for a conference. Work have indicated that I can have a couple of days off in lieu as they're happy to count it as personal development time, and I'm hoping that they'll let me take it this week because I am shattered.

In the meantime, in the interests of not letting my backlog get any bigger, here are a couple of snaps I took this evening in WLG airport.

The bag belt is dressed up to look like Hobbiton, and has signs talking of bags going on adventure.


This creepy giant Gollum lurks above the main concourse, seemingly unaware of the tasty delights on sale nearby:

It's a year out from next year's UK DWcon. Part of me wants to buy a membership just on the very remote chance (originally mistyped as ogg chance) that it'll coincide with my being in the UK. Am I crazy? (fx: assembled masses yell YES! in unison)

OTOH it seems likely there will be another Aus DWcon in 2013. Swancon is in April and appears to be somewhere in Western Aus. UnCONventional, next year's NZ national con, is in June in Auckland; Continuum, the Aus natcon, is the same month in Melbourne. As far as major cons go, that's all I've been able to find. I'm sure there must be a bit more low-key scifi on these isles, but I've yet to find it...
