The Amiga User Group of Victoria (Melbourne) meeting began at 2 p.m. (I was one hour late) and didn't end until 2 a.m.!  http://www.aug.org.au/  The longest club meeting I had ever attended.  Thank goodness there was a break for dinner, and friends Damien Stewart and James Plummer brought me to a nearby restaurant for take-away lamb and chicken shwarma.

Courtesy of my friends, Gaelyne and Rod Gasson, I arrived at the Adelaide Amiga & Retro-Computing Event on-time at 7:30 p.m..  http://adelaideretrocomputing.blogspot.com/  However, many attendees were already there, having arrived earlier.  Trevor Dickinson of A-EON greeted me, as did organizer George Foumakis.  For the next 3 hours, we had lots of Commodore and Amiga fun!

The next day I was privileged to have a ride to the airport in George's Commodore car!
