Make way for new media
I love receiving mail in shiny silver envelopes – you can pretty much guarantee it’s not a bill.
So I was pleasantly surprised to find one waiting for me at home. Even more surprised that it was an invite to the Walkley Awards with a loving letter that said all the right things like “Australia’s best media”, “massive contribution” and “vital work”. Let’s just ignore the fact it’s a standard issue letter and assume that they really want me to attend, should I go?
I don’t want to attend and just be another guest, I want to be the Walkley star! The Glen Milne of 2007 
Only not escorted out and much loved and admired.
I’m thinking of wearing a T-shirt that reads something like “Make way for new media”. Oh, and I need a date that will agree to wear a shirt that reads “Broadcast TV is dead”. So what do you think? Should I do it?
UPDATE: I’ve said yes, so if I can get myself organised I’ll be there!
Congrats MG. Go and show them what the best of Aussie indy media has to offer!
Absolutely. May it be the first of many such invitations.
Like…yeah! Definitely.
Do you have to pay for airfare/accom? Maybe get sponsership?
Maybe you could ask Richard Neville to be your date …. http://www.homepagedaily.com/
Go on … you know you want to.
It might be a standard issue letter but it’s not like everyone gets one.
You know you want to du it. So go for it.
Do it.
