Just out of curiosity, when is KA2 being run ?

Mid-July, 2005.

Well, I appreciate you guys raising the issue. I want to have realistic expectations. The NZ market has obviously moved significantly in recent years and even the success of KA1 cannot be taken as a formula for success.

So how can we be smart about our foray into NZ? What advice can be offered? Do we sidestep all of the places that we are…[Read more]

Great notes Andrew – thanks for doing that. Perhaps next time we can record the whole conversation and allow KA2 participants to download it as an MP3? There may be some from outside Melbourne who could benefit and not feel left out b/c of distance.

Hi Ian,

I’ve been sending emails to people who have expressed interest in getting together and so far Kay (aka Kaos) and Andrew (kyen) have responded.

I would be interested in what airfar prices people have found best I have found is $475.83 with emirates??????

Does that include the taxes? If so that’s a good price. If not then try WebJet. I’m flying in on the Saturday morning so Freedom Air wasn’t an option as they don’t run every day. Qantas does connecting flights…[Read more]

Hi millsy,

I’ve signed up for KA2 and I’m from Melbourne. It would be great if we can get some feedback from past participants like Peter to quickly establish how we can best prepare. I’m not familiar with the NZ at all so I’m keen to acquire relevant info to get the most of the trip. So the key question is: Where do we start?

Order back issues…[Read more]
