Stray
STRAY is about random adventure and escape. STRAY is about pretending that Sydney is Ferris Bueller's Day Off and that fun and money aren't mutually exclusive. STRAY is cheap hijinx, cheap dates and the outings you could be planning while you're actually watching Video Hits on a weekend at 11am.
The Blood Bank
Each morning as I pass through Taylor Square on my way to work I am accosted by some nondescript backpacker spruiking for some nondescript charity trying to guilt me into parting with my hard earned coin to save the whales, the children or some imprisoned writer I've never heard of. Naturally, I reach for my phone and pretend to be in the midst of a terribly pressing call.
Taxi Tips
So here's the situation. You're a cool young thing, you've been out on the town cruisin' the strip with your own two feet, maybe you found someone to cruise and strip with, maybe you didn't, but it's time to go home and you need a cab 'cause you're drunk (which is still cool no matter what the government tells you).
Platform 3 Hip Hop Festival
When I was 14 I got Eminem's Stan single. His acapella version of Hazardous Youth still gives me goosebumps and hope, that one day, I could be a famous white gangster. How good is 8 Mile?

John Waters interview
American auteur John Waters' early films involved overweight drag queens eating fresh dog poop, and singing anuses. His recent works include Tony Award winning Broadway musicals and Hollywood A-list stars. In John's one-man show, This Filthy World, he explains his unbelievable career trajectory in his inimitable, frank, sardonic, style.
Home Brewing
So ya wanna drink beer right, you also have no money, and you're reaaaaaally lazy. WHAT TO DO!? Well have I got a tip for YOU!
Get yourself a sciencey buff who is into researching and studying up on anything (ANYTHING) and team them up with a friend who is so pent up with mood swings that they are looking for something (ANYTHING) to do with their hands.
Sydney Architecture Walks
Not knowing stuff is underrated. Not knowing stuff means I'm always discovering stuff. The list of things I don't know about is long so I'm always pleasantly fascinated when I come across things like cars, chemicals, the financial world and times-tables. This city is bubbling with things I don't know about, and lovely people that want to share them.
