Sounds like a plan. Lets hope the weather holds up.

For all non city folk, heres a placemarker to help you find the gate:

It feels so nice to feel welcome! Thank you. :3

Alright, I remember the Maori Design gate. Shall we bring sketchbooks and stuff so we can recognize each other?

LuckyDesign - Haha, I can imagine.

nilut - Thanks.

What should we do if the weather's bad? I love rain though, hehe (more so when I'm inside :P).

The weather has been good this week, although Auckland weather's become pretty damn unpredictable recently.

If it does get bad, I suppose we could hang around in the art gallery and library? I've actually never been inside the gallery, lol, even though I'm in town everyday. Might not be open on a Saturday, though.

just thought i would mention that i get into auckland mighty early... like 7:40am or something (although i do think i have to check in or drop off my stuff blah blah)so if anybody is going to be around the city before the official meet it would be great to just bum around and do some whatevers, dare i say it, a sketch.

awesome, i'm a lookin forward to it!

[Nii]

Hey Fishcakes
I'm keen on getting there earlier than planned I've pm'd Rusty to see if he wants to meet up earlier too not sure if I'll get a reply before tomorrow though. Anayway I can meet you there just give me a time.

man, you're right, there's a whole army of us. Flashmob!!? http://youtube.com/watch?v=bj0Ma2CsHME

[Max A K Challie]

thickshake - lol! If you stand in the street, and just focus on one point in the sky, people can come along and look at it, and attract more. Eventually, you'll have a lot of people staring at nothing. Step back and laugh at them XD

Anyway, I'm in Auckland now. Can't wait to go! What should I bring, just my sketchbook?

[edit] I'll probably only be able to go on the Saturday. I'm not sure though, might be able to go both days. Just have to see how it turns out. :)

[thickshake]

haha. I was thinking of bringing a camera to take covert snaps of people. So just in case I do, make sure you've styled your hair and have on a clean pair of shoes.

[fish_cakes]

Nii, hey man. Rusty said you don't have a phone, but just in case i was ill informed my number is 027 213 1306 if you want to get in contact tomorrow, but how about we meet at the same place we are meeting later on (the carving arch thingy by the aeotea center) at 11? I should be with paperx by then too hopefully. i'll have a sketchbook with me so you know what to look for. seeya tomorrow man!

thickshake, haha, hot damn that video game me laughs.

Max, yeah man be sure to have a sketchbook with you and your preferred sketching tool. i don't think we have anything official organized for sunday but i'm sure we can think of something tomorrow.

thickshake, again, my hair does not style and my shoes...wtf? clean shoes? ok, i'll try

[Visionspring]

LOL ABUNAI - the last one where they all duck down

[thickshake]

haha. her end pose is gold. It's like how vampires look when they get hit by sunlight.

fish-cakes, you get points for trying

see you guys tomorrow. I'll be wearing my red sonic youth shirt that looks like my avartar, so im easy to find and wont get lost.

[Max A K Challie]

What's all this about meeting at 11am?

[LuckyDesign]
