Luckily there's a dress rehearsal in 2010, so you can come to that. :td:

Must go there. Must go there. Must go there. Must make monies. :ddpan:
Then they for sudden joy did weep,
And I for sorrow sung,
That such a king should play bo-peep,
And go the fools among.
Prithee, nuncle, keep a schoolmaster that can teach
thy fool to lie: I would fain learn to lie.

Actually this is definitely going ahead, all of the speakers are already confirmed that are listing on the start of a site in progress, at http://www.atheistconvention.org.au The AFA is taking registrations of interest, the actual payments will be able to be made soon as the costs and structure are finalised, hopefully in the next couple of weeks ;)
