h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

all that time to think up a good excuse and thats the best you can do Shrillian

Linus - I didn't think the story of 'killer bees' would work on this occasion. Plus, it's the first one I've missed!!!

Feisor - I will definitely make it to the next one.

What's going on with the meet?

Indeed. The 15th isn't that far away - Pond will barely have time to think up a new excuse

And I haven't much time to whine about a phone call (and completely forget)

Amy, you will get your phone call one of these years

No problem--if this is all I've got to complain about, that's not so bad

Well, it's nice to see that I try and talk about the meet, and all we can do is be mean to each other.....








Excellent!!! Linus -

heh heh heh - on the 15th?

Groovy. Now, I will seriously remember about it this time, and will come.

Does anyone need a ride? I live in the general direction of Hornsby (West Pennant Hills), so if anyone needs a ride (if they live in that part of the green-blue planet) then I will be happy to give you a ride in.

Otherwise, see you all there! Any requests as to what to bring?

Amy - do you want to send me a pic of you and paperbaby?

Shrillian my dear,

If you'd been at the last meet you would know that i have Amy and Wowbagger in my possesion after you left them behind the time before


has anyone heard from Red?

I thought the idea was to have the Meet to coincide with Red's return

Maybe we should confirm that she hasn't run off/been abducted by one of them outback cow cocky's

Oops - renegade apostrophe - please read the above as ...

Maybe we should confirm that she hasn't run off/been abducted by one of them outback cow cockys

red emailed me yesterday that she will be arriving in Melbourne on 1st of May. So it appears that her trip is going according to plan and she should be back in Sydney by the 15th.

red also said that she was "excited to see Adelaide", so she may have gone completely insane.

That's something you don't see too often .... the words "excited" and "Adelaide" in the same sentence.

I know....... it shocked me. I've tried reading the email several ways and/or looking for the missing comma..... but it appears that that is exactly what she wanted to say.

Oh, the naivety of tourists!

I've used 'excited' and 'Adelaide' in the same sentence many many times! It's usually something like 'I'm excited to be leaving Adelaide...' See, it is possible. Anyway, Adelaide is where Coopers Dark Ale comes from, so it does have its uses. Also - after weeks on end out in the donk, *any* built-up area is a nice change of pace. That could be what she meant.

Now I just have to arrange to be in Sydney on the 15th... I'll deal with that next week. Does anyone know any cheap accommodation? I'll only be in town for the one night this time.

Linus - I was saying that to Amy as she mentioned that she may do a new drawing incorporating paper-baby....or updating her old one and throwing paper-baby in the corner.....sorry....gently placing paper-baby in the corner.

Amy - do you think you could get a new pic done by then? Otherwise you'll have to tap into the powers of paper-baby's teleporting skills and zap yourselves over here for the meet.

I think the drawing may be easier.

I'd rather teleport down there and see everyone!

But if I don't have time to do a portrait (or forget again) someone could always print out something from http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/bc/amy_p1/lst?.dir=/Baby+pics&.view=t (I update it every so often, so if I've updated it again, and the one you want is in this batch, you'll find it in one of the other albums)

so - full steam ahead then. We should be able to get hold of Red via Melb

hi gang!

I'm presently in Melly. Looking forward to seeing you all on the 15 May. Is it the same place?

Please remind me of the name and location in any case.

Love,, red

Funny ... I thought that the name and location would be indelibly etched in your mind - though I must admit that we did wipe out a LOT of brain cells

The Carlisle Castle - 17-21 Arlbermarle St Newtown (think the other street is Probert)

Looking forward to seeing how you enjoyed your trip
