Gasp-P!
I kinda didn't realise I won a Manifest table... guess I should go! I have things to sell and promote, for once. It'll be a super-whirlwind trip, I'll be trying to tie up all of my loose ends at work before we head off to the US the next weekend.

The Manifest website is pretty terrible from an event organisation perspective... they don't even include start and finish times for the event. How am I meant to book flights or figure out when I'm meant to turn up? Is this magical information reserved only for people who register, or do they actually want people to come?!

Anyway, who's going? Can I crash with anyone out there in LJ-land, or should I just book myself into some snooty hotel near the Melbourne Showgrounds? XD

hahaha congrats! I got a table too (bugger if I know what to do with it), hopefully will see you there. Wouldn't suggest you stay with me though, I live with my family in the boondocks

Manifest technically starts Aug 21 and ends Aug 23 I think, did they give you a pamphlet with the dealer information and when to arrive? I can forward that to you if you want.

Yup, got sent my dealer info! And yay hopefully see you there too!

But surely someone who wants to visit might like knowing what time it opens and closes on all three days? "Use the forums" is not the right answer; if visitors need to visit the forums to find everything then what are all of these information pages on the website itself for?

I might stay at the hotel near the showgrounds, it's a bit pricey but at least I won't be hauling my stuff halfway across the city and back. :D

Ah good! Hooray :D

Yeah no that is pretty stupid D< But Manifest has kind of always been fail so, meh, used to it now.

:D Hahaha fair enough - good luck with it!

So wait, this is a Melbourne thing you're going to? You can -absolutely- stay with me if you like :)

Wait, perhaps. What dates would you be here? We're having visits all over the place during the next few weeks.

I live in Brighton which is about 25 minutes by train to the city.
