Thanks to a kind offer of crash space in Auckland, and discovering a whole pile of Hilton points I didn’t know I had, I have taken the plunge and booked hotels and convention memberships for the trip Down Under. The dates are still as listed here.

For May 28th I have booked into the Hilton next to the new Melbourne convention center so that I can check the area out and hopefully shoot some video. The facilities are all brand new since 1999 and I’m looking forward to seeing them. I’m also looking for recommendations for a restaurant for that night where I can catch up with any Melbourne fans who won’t be going to Adelaide.

Talking of Adelaide, I have booked into the Hilton in Victoria Square. It is roughly the same price as the con hotel, and it not that far away according to Google Maps. I have a twin room, and am still hoping to find a room share.
