Indoor - 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.
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? No, I mean, how good are rap battles and free styling and watching people get burned? So good! And it's all happening over the next few weeks at CarriageWorks, yo.

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.
Circa 1979: Signal To Noise
History comes to us in fragments. We never receive it complete. Too often documentation of important and fascinating scenes are lost, destroyed, forgotten or simply never created in the first place.
So, when we are presented with ephemera of the past in such an in depth fashion as Circa 1979: Signal To Noise, there is reason to be excited.
Anode Festival
To my six-year-old mind, the definition of ‘anodes' and ‘cathodes' reminds me of that scene in Me and You and Everyone We Know where the button-nosed kid describes a poop travelling back and forth between, well, where poops come from. Anode = electrical charge in. Cathode = electrical charge out.
RSPCA foster care
If the doggie in the window that Bob Merill immortalised in 1952 looked anything like this, we wouldn't be politely inquiring 'how much?'. Slamming our credit card down on the Pet Paradise counter, it would be a brazen brand of "I want him...NOW".
Unfortunately, while you may have a 30-day money back guarantee if you're not completely satisfied with your purchase of this amazingly useful artefact, if the same happens with your new pet, well, the pet store owner ain't gonna show you no puppy love.
