Twitter doesn't like URLs now apparently, so if you go to https://www dot eventbrite dot com/e/may-dunedin-game-dev-meetup-otepoti-indie-showcase-tickets-636846644457
... you will see the latest @DunedinGameDev meetup.
Also, get your act together Twitter, OMG.

Hey, I think we should try out this “exhibiting eight Kiwi games at #PAXAUS” thing one more day, just to make sure we get it right. We’re at Booth 1050. Not that we want to talk ourselves up or anything.
