Games Night
You're so creative! You're like a colourful Lorikeet locked in a cage in that office cubical! You're always working' for the man! When was the last time you did something for 'you'? A selfish cross-word? A sneaky game of sudoku? It's undeniable, games are good for the mind. With less gang-busters bash 'em up and more raw strategy a young lady named Amy petitioned the council for Games Night - and whoop-de-do-da it happened (seriously), each month BCC gives her pocket money to buy rad games for you to play for free.

Junk Bar
We heard through our trusty grapevine that a brand spanking new bar had opened in Ashgrove last weekend, Ashgrove of all places. A cane curtained, hole in the wall bar nestled between a Chinese takeaway and a fast photo shop - we probably wouldn't have been intrigued enough make the trip, but then we heard who's baby it was - Jamie and Mia from The Troubadour - that's whose.
Porous Walker Interview
Porous Walker is an artist. He has a board in this years I Used To Skate Once show. Porous Walker likes to skate. Porous Walker likes my last name. Porous Walker is the nicest dude, ever. He's also a bit of a kook - so we decided, what the hay, let's give him a kooky interview. We call it the 'word association interview' (we gave Porous a bunch of words and asked him to tell us what they made him think of).
