If you were in the January 2008 Police and FBG Egypt tours group, you are welcome to come to our re-union on April the 19th at 7pm.

We will be eating dancing and being very merry!

At 9pm we will view the High Definition DVD footage (which mainly has the ‘Habibi’ group in it but you MAY find yourself in it somewhere). The DVD can be purhased for $5 Aussie dollars (no ……. 1 Egyptian pound won’t do!!). This will cover the cost of production.

Be aware that the DVD was made for Col and I to remember our holiday and not as a Group Tour momento so it is largely from our perspective (and we are in it a lot!!). You can edit our faces out at a later date if you like:)

Please bring a plate of food to share for tea, drink, photos, Arabian music and WEAR your Egyptian costume (no admittance otherwise!!).

Please email me to RSVP and to get my address…… if I publish my address here will have gatecrashers and end up on the news the next morning!!

HINT: It’s in Victoria, Eastern suburbs of Melbourne ……… but don’t let that stop you!

Its looking like after a ‘rest’ (pre-Christmas and going on a wild trip to Egypt in a tour group was a rest?) we are starting filming again to pick up those shots we missed last year.

I have to admit………. even though last year was totally exhausting, I am missing the bonds I formed with the crew and the team spirit. I am sure all the boring parts will all come rushing back to me though lol! At least this year I am not studying……. just working FT. Who needs weekends, they are over rated.
You can track the movie on this link: Elindil’s secret

Here is a little ‘behind the scenes’ shot (from early days) of a wardrobe measure up day at my place http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEDPOn6G3Ac&feature=user 

Speaking of movies, I purchased a really groovy full HD Panasonic HDCSD5 video camera to film at Egypt. Then I realised my PC wouldn’t cut it when it comes to editing so I bought an iMac. Hmmmmm its a gorgeous piece of technology. It has taken years of nagging (from my computer nurd friends and collegues) to finally take the plunge into the Mac world. The trouble is that so far it is incompatible with the camera. Aaaaagh! The camera’s advanced technology seems to have left Mac behind. I have read lots of discussion about it on the Web (about my actual camera) to no avail. AND Final Cut Express (Apple editing software) doesn’t recognise the file type from my camera (yet?).

I think my little movie could be a long time coming at this rate. The re-union with the Egypt tour group which I promised might be in the year 2025. By then we will have forgotten we went to Egypt (dementia will have set in for sure).

Haven’t broken the news to Col yet. Shhhhhhh!!!!!! He just doesn’t understand technology, especially computers.
