i know it's way too late for this, but maybe.. just maybe..
we could have either a second party one week later (exact same time) on the Queen's Birthday (for us aussies, new zealanders, late night americans and other people on around our time.)
I can talk about this further on PM, if you like admins.
It's just the fact that it's mostly unfair about our timezones, and getting up early /staying up late just sucks.
I will be pleased and so others will be if there is an event on this day, so we can all join in, during our long weekend.
thank you for your co-operation, as i only just thought this through completely.
if any problems are caused, we can cancel this.
(i'd personaly like to stay the whole gala, but i only have one hour since i have school!
i might pull a sicky.. but i don't know if it will be fatal enough to get a doctor's note. meh.)
