Oh, how I look forward to these Awards every year and while it is sad to see them leave Fantastic Queensland in BrisVegas - it will be exciting to see them in Sydney under the new umbrella of SpecFaction NSW and organisers: Nathan Burrage and Susan Wardle.
And while I say it will be exciting to see the awards in Sydney there are no definites yet that I will be attending. I don't even want to think about that possibility although I know I could be leaving it a little late to buy tix and find cheap accommodation. If the universe is on my side - I will trust that it will be possible and I will be winging my way there come May J
Don't be like me and risk missing out. Check out all the details here:
