Nullus Anxietas 2

We Aten't Dead

We’re now open for registration! Thanks for your patience – as a reward, there’s a $15 discount on our starting prices of $120/$100 until July 14th.

More details will be elaborated upon as we draw closer to February, but there’s a start on the programme page and the unions page.

Convention Plans

Sorry it’s taken a while to get an official announcement for the next convention worked out – we wanted to get a few people’s involvement confirmed first though.

So here’s the plan:

• 6th-8th February 2009
• Daniel Knight and Snowgum Films are working to better ‘Run Rincewind Run’, and planning to have Troll Bridge ready to show off too.
• Martin Pearson will be returning to regale us with his witty songs and stories.
• Medieval Weapon Demonstrations, Werewolf, Significant Quest and other favourite sessions will be returning as well.

We’re currently working on getting a venue confirmed and membership registration set up – planning to have that ready in the coming weeks. We’re all pretty excited with what we’ve got lined up, and hopefully you are too.

Update regarding Terry's health

Terry got in touch with us a couple of days ago, and informed us he has a rare form of early onset Alzheimer’s. Before you get too worried, I recommend you read his note about it at paulkidby.com

While it’s not happy news, it is great to see Terry approach it optimistically.

However, this turn of events has led to the cancellation of Terry’s signing tour of Australia and New Zealand in 2008 – and thus, his attendance at Nullus Anxietas 2. Frankly, we’d rather Terry look after himself, and spend more time writing, than come down to this part of the world – it does raise a few questions about the convention though.

We don’t have any concrete answers for you just yet, but we’re in the midst of discussions. At this stage, I’d say there’s a good chance we’ll still go ahead, perhaps as a smaller event, but I can’t give you a definite response about that just yet. (I will let you know as soon as possible, I promise!)

December Status Update

It’s been a while since we’ve mentioned the next convention, so here’s an update:

Since we’re timing the next convention to line up with Terry’s next signing tour, we have to wait until the dates for that are confirmed by his publisher here, Random House. It’s a little more complex than the first time around, but it saves Terry an extra trip over here and helps keep our stress levels down, so we hope you understand the reasons behind it.

Also, as part of our discussions with (the very helpful) Random House, our prospective dates for Nullus Anxietas 2 have shifted from November to October next year.

Rest assured that the next convention will be happening – we’re just as impatient as you are to get things set in stone.

2007 AGM

Just a quick note, in case anyone is interested – we’re holding our AGM at 11am on Sunday 23rd September, at the Fitzroy Library (128 Moor St, Fitzroy Vic 3068). We’re hoping to have it done and out of the way in less than an hour. All are very much welcome.

Edit: Please note the change of venue from the Carlton Library to the Fitzroy Library. Sorry for any inconvenience.
