The editors, agents and workshops were amazing. It was a friendly, sociable atmosphere. I had such a great time. The cocktail party was hilarious. Costumes of such variety, and so much noise as 250+ members laughed, chatted and wobbled their way around, editors and agents. lol..
I met so many people I didn't know, and also met up with the ones I did. Thank you to those who took the time to tap me on the shoulder. I am hopeless at spotting someone in a crowd. :)
Here are a few photos to give you an idea of how we celebrated. As usual only a few selected, as most of them were blurry. Sorry. :)
My room was comfy, and really nice. :) Good sleeps.So exhausted, I wonder why. lol :) If you know who are in the shots and I haven't named them please let me know.
Also don't forget to check out our mention in the Sydney Morning Herald.
