The cookie brigade are the people who wander around PAX handing out biscuits and taking donations for Child's Play.
They sound like very nice people. Probably not a thing she would be interested in though, she doesn't care about Penny Arcade or PAX in the slightest. I tried to get her to join in at the Artist's Corner because she's very artistic, but she's not really much of an online person at all. Maybe checks her facebook once a week or so? She spends most of her spare time carriage driving, much of it for a charity group very similar to the RDA.

We really need bakers, so if she'd be willing to just bake stuff for us, we'd be ever so very grateful.

I sorted my accommodation out back in March by moving back to Melbourne.

What kind of stuff were you needing baked? I am a cooking person, so if I have the time I might be able to contribute a bit.

Anything a hungry convention goer might like to have really, as long as it doesn't have to be kept cool or hot and can be done up in individual baggies. Chocolate chip cookies are always popular, but at previous PAXes we've had lollies, musk sticks, Anzac biscuits, fudge, cheese straws, gingernuts, shortbread, etc. in addition to US staples like peanut butter cookies, sugar cookies, oatmeal cookies, M&M cookies, etc. Geek theme usually goes down super well - we had one really clever baker last year who created minecraft edibles: water, stones, grass, and dirt. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B1UUwPGCMAMA6Vq.jpg and of course bacon chocolate chip is immensely popular.

I remember getting what I thought was just a fat cookie and it turned out to have a whole Oreo inside.
Whoever's idea that was, thank you.

Of all things to make difficult, why declaring income? Is it a vast conspiracy to ensure undesirable people break the rules and become an enemy? My aluminium helmet says yes

So some friends and I tried one of those room-escape places out last night. The one we went to wasn't great - it was pirate themed, but they really half assed the decor and the theming, and the puzzles weren't great - but it turns out there are a bunch in Sydney already. Some of which seem pretty cool. I know the guys from the Enigma Room had a talk at PAX last year, and they really seem to put some heart into it. If any Sydney folks ever want to give one a shot I'm down.
Speaking of, I can't goddamn wait for PAX this year. I just have a regular ticket this year, so no shifts!
I'd say the best way for Labor to fuck it up would be by having someone in charge that is mostly indistinguishable from Abbott and who was instrumental in all the party destabilisation in the first place.
But that would just be silly.

Yeah, I mean, it's Australia. It's not like it ever rains in your barren Sun-bleached wasteland.
Can you tell that to Canberra?

I don't think the Coalition will go; Labor just isn't giving people enough of a reason to change. Things like the environment, or humane treatment of asylum seekers - these are all just sideline issues to protecting our jerbs and stopping the boats.

Greg hunt needs to change his title to Fuck the environment minister and stop bullshiting everybody.
I am back from the shoot! I think it went well but it's hard to know for sure until I get the scenes we shot that day and start the post production. For all I know there's something wrong with every single recording I made that I couldn't hear during that day and I'll be so embarrassed I have to flee the country. Stim at some point said I could stay on his couch any time, so perhaps Australia is the place to hide out!
anyway, here's a picture of me during the shoot. I had to lie in the tub for this scene to avoid showing up in reflections on mirrors/shiny surfaces
also people keep asking me why/whether I'll go back to australia and I sort of mutter 'well, maybe, uh', because for some reason in that instant I always forget we have a horrible government laughing maniacally while it destroys the country.

It was my sister, I asked her to provide me with some tasties to distribute, and she delivered.
She makes noms huh? Would she consider making noms for the cookie brigade at PAX?
I don't know what that is. I just wanted some yummies to give out to people I know from here.

It was super effective.
The main thing (for me, at leasT) is usually the Omegathon final round.

Those started out as Punzie's funsies. A few bakers do them now, I've even done them myself. They're so awesome.

I don't think my videogame agnostic girlfriend would bite for the 6 hour round trip though.
Being able to put picture hooks in walls or dig up the garden without having to ask permission is easily worth the crushing debt.
Might even completely remove some walls!
As long as they aren't the ones that hold up the roof...
Oh live a little... :P
On like, tuesday or something.
And for like 10 minutes on thursday.

wait
and hope labour doesn't fuck up what should be the easiest election of all time
i mean they fucked it up pretty badly last time, what with all the switcheroos going on, but this time everyone realises just how bad abbott can be
But that would just be silly.
Can you tell that to Canberra?

I should just say "tony abbott".
