I've shifted the date a wee bit, organiser's privilege I'm afraid. Bernice always organised the meetings for the third week of the month, I'm shifting it back a week because MPH Writer's Circle is on the 3rd Saturday and I'm involved in that too (especially now that Oon Yeoh has pulled out.) I've found it stressful to rush from one to the other and I want to fully enjoy both. Hope no-one minds too much.
This then is the blogvertisement to be broadcast far and near:

Oh curses, it just so happens I can't jump on a plane and get to Bangsar from halfway across the world in time for that.(And it's because I'll be appearing in a stage adaptation of Terry Pratchett's Maskerade that night, but I digress.)
You guys should start a podcast for deprived faraway people like me, Sharon :)
that's a really good idea, angry medic! (gosh, you have brilliance as well as great looks) ... good luck with your play and don't forget to blog it
Actually having a podcast is not too bad of an idea :)
it's a great idea but i don't know how to do it! pls help someone!

If I do come, it'll be late -- Nov 25 afternoon is kinda booked up for me (will mail you about that -- am very excited!).
Yay cant wait! (am thinking of bringing some munchies)
wont be around, will be in SA :)
good luck to everyone and have fun!
thanks alex - i have been reading and now i wonder how much it would cost me ...
sharanya - sounds exciting and mysterious
natasya - yes please!
ms d - i know!
Sharon, no need to do an actual podcast really. If your digital cam can also shoot movie clips, you can then post them on YouTube and make a link in your blog.
i know leon and was thinking the same thing
trouble is the light is not that great and the image probably won't be that sharp
the videoing takes up a lot of memory too but i shall experiment
the other problem - video is v. slow to download compared to a podcast. i am exploring and maybe it won't happen in a rush but this technophobe will get there with some help from her friends!!
The other problem could be audio, too. If the readers don't read loud enough you might just get echoey sounds in your video.
You have streamyx, unless, like everyone using it, it is still slow for downloading the vids.
Yes, you'd need a 1 or 2GB card.
See you at the reading soon!
