Star Bar write-ins on the 12th and 19th

Writing can be hard, especially 100 pages in 30 days - but you don't have to do it alone.

That's why there will be two Sydney SF! 2008 write-ins at Star Bar (the former Planet Hollywood).

If you've never been to a write-in before, they're good fun. They're both an opportunity to give yourself writing time, and also to encourage and help your fellow SF!ers and, in turn, be encouraged and helped by them.

So, if you want to experience the joys of a write-in for the first time or again, details are as follows.

WHEN
* Saturday 12 April, 12:15pm-6pm
* Saturday 19 April, 12:15pm-6pm

WHERE
Star Bar (formerly Planet Hollywood)
600 George Street (across the road from Greater Union)
http://www.starbar.com.au/

If you're unfamiliar with Star Bar:
* it has good reasonably-priced food, and the kitchen is open 12pm-10pm
* there's lots of room
* it's quite central, and very close to Town Hall Station

To find us:
1) Walk in through the front doors of Star Bar
2) Go up the stairs
3) Walk ahead to the Rotunda, a large enclosed area
4) Walk around the Rotunda to the right and look straight ahead towards the main bar
5) Look up and to the right, and you'll see a black Mad Max car hanging from the ceiling
6) Underneath the Mad Max car is an alcove with a large table - that's where we'll be

Minors are allowed, but they must be supervised at all times and definitely cannot purchase and/or consume alcohol.

WHAT TO BRING
* Yourself
* Whatever you write with - powerboards will be provided for laptops and other electronic devices

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Hope to see you there!

Awesome! I will absolutely be there on Saturday the 12th. (I'd come on the 19th but I'll be in Melbourne at the time - got to get some travelling in while I can, you know.)

Looking forward to meeting the SydneyScrenziers!

Count me in. I should be able to get access to (free) laser printing at a nearby office for those who need to output hardcopies during the write-ins.

I'll be there with bells on!

Although I'll probably have to leave early on the 19th - I'm taking my sisters to see High School Musical on Ice.

You betcha I'll be there -- and thanks, Killraven, for organizing it!!!

Jean: you are a far, far braver woman than I am. "High School Musical on Ice" is, like, a joke, right? Please say you were just having a little delayed April Fool fun with us.

Sympathetically,
Laura

RE: Star Bar write-ins on the 12th and 19th

Heh, nope. It's the terrifying truth. My sisters really want to see it, and my mother refused to take them.

On the plus side we're getting a hotel room and making a big girly night of it.

Count me in for both days unless some disaster happens between now and then. Thanks for organising this, Darren. Heh, that's my dad's name.

I think I can... I think I can...

Although this will be the complete opposite to my preferred writing conditions it sounds like too much fun to pass up. Bound to be an experience I won't soon... oh, something. I forget.

RE: Star Bar write-ins on the 12th and 19th

Okay, I will be a little late for this write-in, as I'm checking out the Scientology protest. On the bright side, once they're done at the "Church" they're effectively walking right to the Star Bar. I'll have an Anonymous escort! Fun stuff. I'll probably be there after 1pm.
