The story goes like this: Korean artist Young Sun Han used the world wide web to connect with strangers who match a certain physical description. At midnight - tonight! - he will meet up with one such stranger in 4A's street front gallery and they will embrace for a full 24 hours. By 'embrace' we mean 'hug'.

White Trash Cooking
In addition to cleavage and guns, the White Trash folks have invented some gnarly things. Approximately 107 of these things are written down in White Trash Cooking.
Don't be fooled, White Trash Cooking is not all corn on the cob and corn off the cob; there are baked possums, water lily pies and a girl scout one eyed egg.
Mizuya Restaurant & Karaoke
The touch screen guy tipped us off. He'd just installed an impressive amount of premium screens at a Japanese restaurant and karaoke bar in the CBD. On this basis we were convinced that Mizuya would be just like Shinjuku; the electric lights, the hidden restaurants, the sweaty microphones. Happily, it's not far off.
Art Loves Haiti
You might already know that Sarah Larnach does incredible things with water colours. She's created album artwork for Ladyhawke, illustrations for Amanda Maxwell's book, Nobody Told Me There'd Be Days Like These, worked at Michel Gondry's Partizan Studio and exhibited in galleries here and overseas.

Description:
We first met Passion Pit on Chunk of Change, a screeching, synth-ridden EP that made us bounce around like cordial charged five-year-olds. Since then we've been following them through blogs, festivals and an album-load of hype that left us both elated and a little tired. Still - a live Passion Pit is an unpredictable Passion Pit, which is why we loved them in the first place.

Fashematical
Jonathan Zawada is a man of many forms. He is one of the artists behind Glory Holes, he is the designer of What I Think About When Dancing, he is Petit Mal!, he is the creator of Rockmen, and the collaborative mind behind some of the silkiest tie-dye we've ever worn. For the purpose of this article, Jonathan is Fashematical, a limited-edition zine to commemorate the 50th (or 55th, who's counting) equation on his blog, Fashematics.
Sonoma Bakery, Paddington
Biting into a flakey, slightly dry pastry from a fancy local baker, a friend remarked: "it's good, but where is the love?" Elsewhere it seems, because our baked goods hadn't been warmed or wrapped but plucked from a counter of similarly unloved bready bits then dumped in waxy paper. They were some sad little pastries.
