I have just received the MCB newsletter in which they publicise three events starting at 5.30, and one (yours) starting at 5.00. I suspect that "best start time on a Friday" means "best for the owner and staff" (he has to pay his staff to work late)Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08236329216260906624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3264914780516321436.post-68845559529487033352009-09-27T15:56:25.170+13:002009-09-27T15:56:25.170+13:00A follow up to my previous message: the word from ...A follow up to my previous message: the word from the publisher is that the actual reading session probably won't start until about 5.30pm, so you should be able to get there after work without missing the readings. Also, in those centres where time permits, we may invite poets not included in <i>Voyagers</i> to bring and read SF poems of their own - I'll confirm this as soon as I can, but in the meantime, poets can regard this as a new writing challenge!Tim Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14856414700019368658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3264914780516321436.post-14987989090440772672009-09-27T03:35:54.841+13:002009-09-27T03:35:54.841+13:00Thanks for your comments, Helen, Grant and Catheri...Thanks for your comments, Helen, Grant and Catherine. I'd love to go on the whole tour, but it wouldn't be fair to my family, or to the state of my leave balance at work! Sorry the 5pm timing isn't convenient for you, Catherine; it was recommended as the best start time on a Friday by the bookshop. I will ask the publisher how long the event is likely to run for, and get back to you.Tim Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14856414700019368658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3264914780516321436.post-38465867036892139582009-09-26T23:16:06.639+12:002009-09-26T23:16:06.639+12:00How late can I be before it is too late to be wort...How late can I be before it is too late to be worth turning up? Since I actually have a job, and work till 5pm or later, and work is twenty to thirty minutes from the MCB end of town, then I have to find a park, I'm thinking 5 pm is going to be a little early for meCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08236329216260906624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3264914780516321436.post-30826355971370836072009-09-21T16:08:29.337+12:002009-09-21T16:08:29.337+12:00So you won't be at the Auckland event?
