Artist Date: Pick ‘n’ Mix Exhibition Opening
On Thursday night I went to an exhibition opening at £1000 Bend in Melbourne’s CBD. My friend, Jonathan who has featured in this blog before, was one of the exhibited artists and I had met some of the organisers previously so I was basically honour bound to go. I had an amazing time, I ran into…

Night Rain and Hot Chocolate
Saturday night for me was pretty sedate; I went out for dinner with a friend in the Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy. After dinner we went out for hot chocolate and macarons at Shocolate in Johnson St. We decided to sit outside and not long after we sat down it started to rain. It was the…

Substation or Suburban Prison?
I was riding my push-bike home from the gym last Saturday when I saw this looming blue-stone structure; unromantically I think it’s an electricity substation, but I like to think of it as the doorway to a creepy unlisted/abandoned underground prison. Surely it was not constructed as an electricity substation, and was commandeered for the purpose; I…

This may be inviting disaster…
But I’ve decided to perform some of my poetry at the Dan O’Connell in the next couple of weeks. I became enamoured of the idea last night after I had a horrible meeting with the group who I am supposed to be doing an Accounting assignment with. I guess it was also the flowering of…

Adventure in Carlton: Photos
This post won’t have many words, just some of photos from my adventure. Enjoy! I don’t really know what to say about this… It’s cool though. It’s a sticker about 10cm high that was stuck on a fence in Carlton. I am sure it’s making a statement but I’m not really sure what the statement…

An adventure in Carlton: Poetry
Today’s adventure/artist date was going to the Dan O’Connell weekly poetry reading session. I have only ever been once before, some time ago, and I haven’t made it back since. True Saturday afternoons are often filled with other social engagements but really I was just wussing out. I asked my friend Jonathan to come with…

Sunsets and Ivy: An adventure
After writing the post earlier about how emotional I had found writing I decided to go for a wander down to Kooyong Lawn Tennis Courts and take some photos of the ivy growing on the outer walls. Malvern and surrounding suburbs has the highest proportion of ivy covered buildings I’ve seen in Melbourne, and given…

Sydney – Part 3: Write Club
Some of you may know that I aspire to be a writer, or at lease be better at writing, it is something I used to do when I was an emo teenager but that I forgot to nurture as I got older (along with a lot of things). Louise is a fantastic writer, really she’s…

Sydney – Part 2: Future Music Festival
I would like, if I may, to take you on a strange journey… well, not really, but I would like to give my review of the Future Music Festival. I will be doing this in Chapters, because I feel like it and I must apologise in advance for the poor quality of the photos, I…
