  1. Ow, I've got class tomorrow night, otherwise I'd be there! Seems like all the good events on at the Wheeler Centre are on the same days I have class.

  2. Aw no. That sucks for you. When I did my TAFE course I had night classes too. Sometimes it's worth skipping. ;) You might make some valuable contacts there!
    I'm working, alas, and there's no one who can cover for me. I bet it'll be a great event. At least I have a spy who'll report back on what she learns!

Thanks for commenting! I love comments. I seriously do. Except when they're spam. I get a lot of spam here so, unfortunately, I had to add word verification to stamp that out. But I don't want to stamp out YOUR comment, so keep them coming, okay?
