By the way...if you do happen to go on TV........... Would you mind wearing a www.kevinswatch.com t-shirt?
Maybe this would be a good time for us to make a "Conformity of purpose will be achieved through the mutual satisfaction of requirements." t-shirt. Hehe.-jay

I would if I could. The ABC just rang and spoke to me not five minutes ago - I didn't get the Adjudicator position. What they need is someone with an academic degree in literature, specialising in science fiction or fantasy. If anyone is interested and has these qualifications, please email or pm me and I will direct you to the person who you need to talk to.

I agree Lucimay! That's kind of ridiculous! There's only, what, 20 million of us here in Oz...what are the odds!

Which universities offer this? I might want to get a graduate degree at one of them.
The same university where I got my undergraduate degree in psyc: University of Queensland. I told the ABC to ring there, as they have a lecturer who has a degree in sci-fi.

The problem is that, to the Australian viewing public, I am essentially a nobody. And what qualifications do I have? therefore, somebody watching will see essentially a fan act as an adjudicator. Hardly the most informed or qualified person, in their eyes. I do not mind at all that they declined me, and hope sincerely that they find another most suitable.

Now that's insane. Assuming the guy has read the books I dare him/her to go face to face with you on Gap expertise and trivia (now that would make a good show in and of itself)---damm the system, I should have been born a Basque!
