Unless you want to pay the ridiculous shipping yes.
Although I wonder if you can pay for them and then pick them up on the day, they dont really have that option available on the site though.


And Ali, I'm only gonna go Saturday I figure that way all the good stuff will still be there since its the first day and well I just cant see myself needing to go twice. Maybe if I do I cna just pick another ticket up. But I would be willing to come shopping with you!! Are we thinking oxford st for pro store/mecca/kit/benefit/plus clothes galore?

I was thinking about this but I dont know, seems doubtfull. I havent heard of MAC doing that anywhere but London IMATS.

But what about the SPEAKERS? That the main reason I wanna go! To learn some cool stuff :p But I dont wanna hear from Rae Morris :/ I saw her work in her book and its just, well, quite ordinary!

AND YES SHOPPING

Pro store is a MUST, but I'll have to fit a trip into DJs in there somewhere too :p

hahah totally forgot all about the speakers, way to focussed on the goodies!
do you know who's speaking apart from Rae? I wish there was a timetable or something, IMATS doesnt seem too organised.

WTF??? That's enough incentive for me.... *runs off to investigate price of airline tickets*

So if some of the interstate girls are converging on Sydney for the weekend something's telling me that a few of us might end up having a hangover on the Sunday...

Virgin Blue are having a sale at the moment!

Im thinking I might do;
-Fly over Thursday
-Fly back Monday morning

That way I have all of Friday to do DJs/city and then start on Oxford st
Are all the shops on Oxford open on Sunday?

Im coming by myself so Im hoping we can have a couple of dinners/go out on Friday & Saturday?
What does everyone think? Good plan?

^^ I'm hoping that I can make an excuse to fly to Sydney for that weekend and make work pay for it

If that is the case I will fly in Friday morning, work during the day, then I am free for the weekend and fly back sunday night. Fingers crossed I can organise it... otherwise I will have to try to convince my hubby that I need to fly to sydney... and my chances for that are slim to none!

Ok - they have now added the option of "will call pickup" to the site (FINALLY!!)
But also, shipping is now US$35! CRAZY TALK, will call pickup is definitely the way to go!

lol, I shall buy them next pay I think, too much being spent on RR this time around!

I signed up for my pro card at the New York Makeup Show in 2006, and didn't have to go through all the documents etc - just had to fill in a form and hand over my credit card details for the fee, plus they gave me a flyer for a temp disc at the NY pro store until the real card came.

I have no idea if they will do it here like that, but it was sooo easy - they basically said the trade shows are supposed to be for industry professionals only, therefore that was evidence enough.

well I sent my boss an email this week asking to go to a conference on the 15th & 16th of Sept in Sydney, and said that if I go then I could spend the Monday in our Sydney office as my scheduled visit...

fingers crossed she approves it and I will fly over on the saturday instead of the monday
