I've amended my old 'Releases' thread title to include 'News', just so we have somewhere to put odd RH and ML-related things that come up (seeing as we can't amend the front news page at present?). We have lots of lurkers and/or people who don't overly hang around the newsgroup or the RH site so I thought it wouldn't hurt to have these things firmly noted down within the forum?
Ah, I'm not sure if it is a helpful idea or not, knowing that we can sometimes inject certain things into specific threads eg Jussi posting the colour cover of The Inheritance into that thread anyway?
Anyhow...for the time being I mainly just wanted to note down specific dates and details regarding Robin's upcoming visit to Australia, though I also know we've chatted about it briefly elsewhere here.
ROBIN HOBB'S AUSTRALIAN TRIP
Robin will arrive in Australia on March 31st, which is the day before the release of The Inheritance on April 1st.
She will be attending the Supanova Pop Culture Expo as a special guest in Brisbane and Melbourne, with a stop-over in Sydney in between.
Brisbane - April 1st to 3rd
Melbourne - April 8th to 10th
Robin is scheduled for all three days of both events. Times seem to vary from source to source but, going on the Supanova site info, apparently she will appear each Saturday from 10.30am to 5.30pm and each Sunday from 11am to 5pm for autograph and photo sessions, as well as Q&A sessions at each expo.
In Brisbane on the Sunday, Robin mentioned in her newsgroup that she will be there from 10am to 5pm. There's a signing session at 11am, and a Q&A at 1:30pm, followed by another signing session. She will do a reading at 4pm. I'm thinking this will be the day I attend, if not the Saturday.
EDIT: I've asked Robin if she wouldn't mind giving me the specifics for every day of both events, that way we can know exactly where she will be and when. Will pass this on if/when I hear anything.
Anyone else from here going to Brisbane? It would be great to catch up, even if there's only time to say g'day?
