Mike Dooley Seminars!
[ 29 February 2008 ]
Hello sweet people of Melbourne!
As some of you know, the amazing Mike Dooley (of Notes From The Universe fame) is coming to Australia & New Zealand in March! He’s going to be presenting seminars in Perth (March 8/9), Melbourne (March 11/12), Brisbane (March 13/14), Sydney (March 15/16) & Auckland (March 18/19). I am so excited about it & can’t WAIT to hear him talk!
I’ve been talking to a woman called Tracy who is helping organise the tour, & she told me that they require some people to work on the crew in Melbourne. As a member of the crew you would need to turn up a bit early to help register people, put out products & stuff like that. However, the trade-off is that you would get into the show for free! (How great is that?!)
If any of you are available & keen to do this, please check the details (to make sure you can get to the location!) & then email Tracy telling her which city you’re in & that you’d love to help!
On the other hand, if you want to book tickets, you can do so here! (Affiliate link.)
Merci beaucoup & I hope to see you there!
Super-love & cupcakes,

Wow, that sounds like a wonderful opportunity! I might just send Tracy an email, thanks Gala :)
Hello Gala Darling,
I am a 29 woman from Milwaukee, married with two dogs. I am a Realtor by profession. Somehow I stumbled upon your site/blog this morning and simply cannot stop reading EVERYTHING you write. I adore your openness and photos and hummor and…. on and on. You are an inspiration and wonderful representation of women in the world who are smart, articulate and enjoyable to be around.
Much Appreciation!
Emily
I’m so envious Gala! I found the Notes website through your site and I love reading them in the mornings. They are so amazing. I can’t wait to hear about your experiances there!
Damn and curse my many hours north of Melbourne-ness!!
This is a little off-topic to your current article, but have you heard of ‘Tracey Boyd’s Summer Alphabet’?
I’m sure you would enjoy!
Here is a link to it from foto_decadent:

Hey Gala!
I’m going to Melbourne for the first time ever on Monday, and I’m so excited. I’ll be too early for this, but I’m sure there’ll be plenty more to do!
And I’ll be sure to look out for electric blue hair the whole time :P
xx
Emily — Thank you so much! That’s extremely kind :>
Mandy — I’m going to cover it pretty comprehensively so hopefully you’ll find it useful & interesting!
Teresa — Yup! I read foto_decadent pretty obsessively. I saw that a while ago but I don’t like Lily Cole at all! I never have. I can’t explain it, I just don’t!
Kirby — You’ll have an amazing time. Bring something toasty because it’s pretty cold at the moment!
Oh thankyou so much for the advice. It’s been freezing where I live too, but I assumed Melbourne would be nice and hot (because I always associate holidays with warmth, I suppose :P).
I might even try to check out Wildilocks while I’m there.
Btw, are there any good markets/ vintage- style shops open on weekdays in Melbourne that would be worth checking out?
xx
Kirby — Bring a scarf :> & yup, it’s totally worth checking out Circa Vintage on Gertrude Street & Shag on Brunswick Street. Not in the CBD but not far out. circavintageclothing.com.au !
Aww. I’d love to meet Mike Dooley. :)
Enjoy that!
xoxo.
Hey Gala!
Thanks to a recommendation from a friend, I discivered your site and I’m hooked!! Ive spent about 6 hours reading it, and thats just today!
I love how theres something for everyone!
Actually, your bedroom article inspired me to clean and reorganise mine. AND Things I Love Thursday has prompted a happy blog.
Sorry, this has turned into a bit of a rant…whoops
Much love
Mandy
We recently watched a video of one of his speeches in my Public Speaking class! Our teacher was showing us good examples of public speaking and certain techniques to use. I knew I recognized his name, I must have read it on your website before. Awesome!
