DAY 6 - WAGGA (WAGGA) - THE FESTIVALISTS

DAY 6 - WAGGA (WAGGA) 11/18/2008

7.30am.
Marianne's phone is ringing and I am beyond unimpressed.

This is followed by the even less impressive news that the flight bringing our guests Paul Sullivan (producer of Cactus) and Emma Rozanski (director of The Whisper Stop) for our lunch time screening is delayed by 3 hours! AND Emma was not informed of this latest revelation and has a long time of sitting in the airport ahead of her. Lucky for us she loves staring at planes....or so I hear.

The morning session went well but then it was full steam ahead....Patrons started arriving for the film whilst Marianne was driving like a mad woman across town to meet Paul and Emma as their plane touched down at 12.20pm....and get them to the cinema by 12.30pm!

No small feat, but Marianne was up for the challenge and passed with flying colours (and not just red lights as they flew past, thank you very much).

The Q&A went well, but Marianne and I were sure to casually leave a few of the local newspapers lying around afterwards, just to let Paul and Emma know they were not the only celebrities in town!

After a quick beer and much waxing lyrical about the Australian film industry we were treated to a guided tour around Wagga Wagga by Paul! Originally from Wagga Wagga he gave us all the insider info.... You ARE allowed to call Wagga Wagga Wagga but you have to BE FROM Wagga (Wagga).

Then he showed us the beach. Yep. There is a beach in Wagga Wagga.
Which is basically where they open the dams every day at 5pm so people can go and catch the wave. For real. If you don't believe me, check with a local.

After dropping Paul & Emma at the airport and picking up the equpiment from the cinema Marianne & I decided that we needed to treat ourselves. So we went to the movies, what else! (Followed by what is surely the greatest invention of all time Connoisseur's Chocolate Honey Nougat ice cream....Soooo good).

Now I have safely slipped into my I Heart DUBBO t-shirt, I will safely slip myself into bed and get some much needed beauty sleep for the drive to Dubbo in the morning.

Sweet dreams.
Karina.
