Bleeding Heart Gallery Gift Shop
Everyone say "yey" now - another step in the right direction for our town! Our emerging artists and designers are starting to get the support they deserve, and we can add the lovely folks at Bleeding Heart café/gallery to our ever-growing thank you list. Increasing exposure for our city's creative energy, Bleeding Heart is ready to unveil quite a treat: a brand new gift shop chock full of the works of local artists, crafters and designers.
Siam Square Thai
Someone (let's just assume they were very old and very wise and probably Thai) once told me that you can judge the quality of a Thai restaurant by how well they do their soups, and well, Siam Square Thai, with your floating sticks of lemongrass and broth of a thousand flavours: you pass with flying colours.
Suitcase Rummage
Wallet? Check. Eco friendly tote bag? Check. Readiness to discover some of Brisbane's best emerging art, craft, design and musical talents all at one new, somewhat ingenious event? Check. Well, all you have to do now is wait until noon this Sunday for Suitcase Rummage to begin...
In case you missed our call-out a few issues back, Suitcase Rummage is a mini market taking place this weekend.
Parks and Recreation
Ahh NBC. I dare say you are the best thing to come out of America (sorry Obama). From your '90s gems like Friends and Seinfeld to your modern fare of The Office, Community and 30 Rock, you always know just how to deliver in the laughs department. And finally - another has been born.
Parks and Recreation is an Office-style mockumentary sitcom with a distinctly 30 Rock edge - not surprising really, considering its main star and producer is Amy Poehler, fellow Saturday Night Live graduate and real life BFF of 30 Rock's Tina Fey.
Seja, 'We Have Secrets But Nobody Cares'
With handmade felt keyboards adorning the cover and CD face, Seja's charming debut We Have Secrets But Nobody Cares is an instantly intimate and textured experience. ‘I'll Get To You' kicks things off in a nostalgic John Hughes-esque 80s high school sense, invoking that feeling of walking down the corridor to the gymnasium disco, all mirror balls and bad romance.
Suitcase Rummage Call Out
Dear all bedroom-bound artists, crafters, collectors, creators or possessors of too much clothing and other paraphernalia: Suitcase Rummage is the event you've been waiting for. Just like a market but without all hassle of tables and marquees and regulatory hoops, Suitcase Rummage invites any young Brisbanites to pop on down to King George Square armed with a suitcase or two of goodies they'd like to sell, and whala, instant marketplace.
New Farm Shoe Repairs
As throwaway consumerism continues to fall short, many savvy folks are turning back to the trusty ole art of ‘mend and make do' to keep their purchases kicking longer. And one thing we really do need to kick along longer are our shoes. With cheap chain store knockoffs flooding the market - sole-splitting, heel-crumbling, colour-peeling gems that they are - a great pair of shoes is pretty hard to come by.
