Yahoo! Its going to be a good night for sure. From the GFC there are so many creepy, shock horror stories you’re going to at it till Monday. Have fun wish I could be there.
Congratulations. Unfortunately it’s about 1788 km away and I can’t make it.
John, you have a writeup in the Sydney Morning Herald here..
Damn – I dont think Ill make it either – anychance of a Sydney launch later? (and an open age limit?) – Im somewhere near the equator and on the next island there is a volcano going off and a tsunami – the invite doesnt scare me.
But Ill be sure to raise a toast to the book tonight!
I wish I could have been there. Who launched Zombie Economics? Are there any reviews published? Can I buy it yet?
Yes I know, I don’t read things before blurting out a stupid question. I found the reviews and ordering info under the Dead Ideas book thread.
Must have been some show.
Has nobody recovered enough yet to tell us how it went? I suppose I should have gone …
