Australian Chapter - who's from Australia?

#41

I think starting our own chapter is preferable simply because CGS is going to evolve and activities of the chapters will increasingly revolve around that. Initially, it’ll just be meet’n’greet, but incresingly i think it will tie in with the plans Leonard and Mark have for CGS, especially as it gains industry recognition. I envisage networking and industry meetings. Colab projects, formation of new teams (and possibly start-ups). I’v’e been fortunate to have full-time work as a concept artist for the past 3.5 years but it’s a fickles and difficult industry. Therefore, I very much like the idea of recognition the CGs membership will bring and the potentials contacts also. And well, maybe too, I can contribute something… :slight_smile:

So let’s just meet for drinks, to get to know first. Should we plan it for someitme next month - by that time we should have a bit more of an agenda given the rapid roll-out of CGS?

How much is a flight between melbourne and sydney these days? :smiley:

#57

it all depends on what time and what seson, I’ve seen vergin blue for $90!! if you don’t mind leaving really early there are real cheap fights.

does your teacup fly starships too?:smiley:

#58

Is that return? That’s pretty good if it is! Just trying to work out if it’s worth my while coming up for a Sydney meet then spending the weekend with my GF.

The tecup thing is just for the Starwars avatar theme going on. Are you changing yours? :smiley:

#59

no thats oneway, I just had a look and the cheapest was $99, but the prices will change day to day depending on how full the flight is close to the departure day, also if the two carriers start to have price wars.

don’t need to change my avatar, though I should put my own work in after SW III.
