 Um... is there a time?
 I would say 5-6pm, this gives peole who are travelling time to get home afterwwards etc.. this also gives the option for nibbles and drinks followed by dinner or just have an early dinner before turning up. thoughts? I'm looking forward to coming along.
 awesome..I am also looking forward to it..

 Sale price for prints - as the prints are roughly the same size, I recommend keeping the price the same. I don't believe that it will be difficult to come to a consensus on the night that will probably fall between $250 - $350. 
 Cheers,
 Callan.

 A big thanks to Gerry and Callan for all the work that is going into this exhibition.        I am not really in a position to turn up on opening night but I will peruse the the web to see if I can get a cheap flight to Sydney.  You never know.   CraigLifes journey is not to arrive at our grave in a well preserved body but, rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting, "Wow what a ride."

 Great to hear people are coming along for the opening night! can we get everyone who is planning on turnign up for the night to post here so I can get an idea of how many people will be there - I am organising drinks and food and would liek some idea of the numbers!. Also we are going to make a poster to hang out the front to get a some advertising, does anyone have any objections? More importantly is anyone NOT going to have their image for sale and have objections to having a thumbnail on this poster?? I have done a real quick poster design - note i am crap at this so if anyone can do better feel free to knock something up!

 A big thank you the Gerry for getting this organised, and to Callan for agreeing to host this in his establishment.
 It was good to catch up with everyone who was there, and I think it's fair to say that a great evening was had by all.
 
 The images ... simply stunning. Callan does great work, and the images looked simply spectacular, with a few of them looking more like paintings than photographs. I would encourage everyone in the Sydney region to wander down to Newtown over the next couple of weeks, while these images are on display, and enjoy them. I doubt you'd be disappointed.

 I think I saw Philo absconding with Cameron's camera, after taking a few photos, that is.
 We left early, but I think most others stayed on, with perhaps several retiring to the Korean BBQ next door. I'd already had my fill of opening-night sushi ... and now I have some radio prep to do.
