TAM Australia

Well if it does go ahead, I have room in the WRX if anyone wants to make a road trip from Brisbane

E.T.A Wow that was a quick turn around....

After just returning from a day at Briskepticon yesterday, we'll be booking as soon as tickets are available.
 
Speaking of which... when will they be available? Can we 'pre-book' to avoid disappointment?
 
Let's just hope they open up pre-bookings early enough to be able to adjust to numbers, and not have the quick sell-out of TAM London.

I know I want to go. I'll probably be missing out on a fairly major tango event to attend, but TAM Australia should definitely be worth it.
 
I'd love to go to TAM Australia! & yeah, let's not have a London-like sell out. Plus, with a year's notice, I can save up for the airfare. And, much more importantly, start my training for the 30+ hours of sitting involved. Any tips from trans-hemispheric travelers? My guess would be ample amounts of whisky & narcotics.

Actually, that's not always a good idea. Alcohol will just dehydrate you, make you want to go pee lots, and won't really knock you out for long. Only thing worse than a 30 hour flight is one where you're feeling hungover at the end.

My only advice is to wear really comfy clothes and get a flight with good movies. :)

I'm just grateful there'll be a TAM I'll only have to drive for three hours to get to.

Athon
 
Drink lots of water. Forget about other liquids. Then every hour or so take a short walk, or at least move your legs every few minutes. This is to avoid blood clots.

Also take a few good books to read. Just in case that good movie is not good.
 
I always thought there would be a big conference next year with the SGU guys coming over, but a TAM is pretty sweet.

Looking forward to it
 
Perhaps a good time for Penn and Teller to organise their first Australian tour? ;)
 
Very excited about TAM Australia and doubly excited that it's being held in my hometown.

So who's coming? And who needs a couch to crash on?
 
I'll be there, but can either stay with my sister in the west, or, more likely stay in the place I usually stay in Sydney, the Bayview in William St. Four star and about $150 a night. I should be able to organise some work around TAM so I get the airfares and some of the accommodation covered.

Lol The booze & narcotics part was ironic. Those typically mix poorly, even at sea level. I never drink on flights anyway, but man, some of the flights I was looking at involve 30+ hours travel. I'm usually OK sleeping & reading. How about any tips for who to book airfare with & what's a reasonable price to/from New York. Any, since it'll be my first trip to AUS, I think I'll try to swing some side trips, if I have the coin. Are there must see's for a first timer?
