We're counting down the sleeps...

We've got some great exhibition and website launch updates to share...

• we have a DJ, catering and bar all lined up for the launch!
• we have an acknowledgment of country from Harry Coulthard-Dare, and Jenny Scott, Natalya Giffney and Tammy Franks MLC will say a few words at around 630pm
• we have some volunteer stylists/make-over artists to help with 'dress-ups'... hence we need some clothing/accessories donations (that will come back to you) ranging from comfy to fancy...
• we're getting a bunch of unframed prints back this afternoon and we're 'framing up' for a working bee this Sunday from 1-3pm 
• raffle will be on the night at around 730-8 and items include a case of sparkling shiraz, pre-loved books, feast ticket give aways, a range of artworks, some cool fabric 'patches' from Berlin, some Ikea mirrors, and of course the 2 Samsung tablets...
• the zine is nearly finished and we'll probably get it printed next week!
• some exhibitor/storytellers will be joining us from Mt Gambier and Pt. Lincoln (the raffle is to raise money to get them here)

If you yourself are a workshop participant/exhibitor/ website contributor here is your 'to do' list...

• check that your 'about me' is up to date on your blog on 'Stories Beyond Gender'. I'm going to pinch and use those words for a few of you (who haven't submitted a 'bio' for the exhibitors' section...
• check whether you've sent me a thumbnail image that represents you - also for exhibitors' section
• check whether you are available to help hang on the day of the 28th October
• check the roster for Saturday to see if you can do 1-2 hour shift in teams of 2?
• check whether you're available to be involved in the artists' talk on Sunday 30th Oct afternoon 3-5pm?
• have you nominated yourself or another exhibitor/workshop participant/website contributor, to go in the running for the iPadAir 2? Can you DM me and I'll start tallying : )

We're getting excited! Please come... and invite lots of mates and allies!
