This will require some juggling on my part but there's no way on earth I'm going to miss it ;D And finding out about it came at just the right time; just as I was getting all "damn Sydney has everything"
ETA: more about McCubbin himself here...I'd only vaguely heard the name before but now, looking at his works, I can't believe how many of them look familiar! Alright, I am indeed extremely excited now about this
