Last Minute Trip Preparations


Taking the red-eye to Melbourne on my way to the US usually means I have the day to get ready and pack. However, tomorrow the Australian Venture Capital Association is running an all-day symposium in Perth. I thought it would be a great opportunity for me to find out more about what's going on VC-wise at home. The event includes dinner so it will be a pretty mad rush from the Duxton Hotel, back home to pick up my bags and then on to the airport. I'll give an update on how the symposium went from either the lounge in Perth or in Melbourne.

Proofed the artwork for my "Independent Producer and Composer" business cards to take to SxSW. The design Snap Printing came up with worked out well. I ordered 500 so hopefully there's plenty of opportunity to hand them out at SxSW.

I've finished paying bills, am currently charging various devices such as phones, iPods, laptops and cameras and am just about to start packing my clothes. I don't see myself getting much sleep tonight, which normally wouldn't be a problem as it helps me sleep on the plane - but hopefully the VC symposium will serve up lots of coffee.
