As you may know, in October I shall bore a hole through the center of the Earth and I will emerge like a gopher in the city of Brisbane, Australia —<\/p>\n

*receives a note*<\/p>\n

Ah, apparently I will instead of taking something called a “plane.”<\/p>\n

Whatever.\u00a0I’m getting there somehow<\/em>.<\/p>\n

And, once there, I will be a guest of honor at the wonderful-sounding GenreCon<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

I do not yet know the full dates for travel yet.<\/p>\n

But I’m pondering exactly how I should\u00a0handle<\/em> this trip. Like, should I try to do a small tour of Australia? Even if it’s a one-bookstore pit-stop?<\/p>\n

Should I just wander amok? I can’t be gone too long, lest I leave my wife alone with the Wolverine Tornado that is our darling toddler, B-Dub, King Adorbz of Adorbzville.<\/p>\n

The subject header tells all — anybody who is in Australia or who has been there should tell me\u00a0everything you know about it<\/em>. Open your brain with this hammer. Spill out all knowledge so that I may sup on it. Jet lag! Phone! Food! Travel within the country! Things to do! Things to see! Things to avoid! Drop bears! Hell-spiders! Venomous sommeliers and toxin-producing travel agents! Koala plagues! Slang terms! Beer! Also, beer! Bookstores! Publishers! WHATEVER HELP IT’S LIKE AN ALIEN LAND THAT LOOKS LIKE AMERICA BUT IS ACTUALLY BIZARRO-AMERICA.<\/p>\n

Thanks in advance!<\/p>\n

(Oh, and the “crowdsourcing essentials” posts will be back next week — I’ve got a very awesome helper tallying up the lists so I’ll have some\u00a0reporting to do.)<\/p>\n
