The Cleanout
The word ‘free' is like my catnip, my knee-buckling kryptonite, the ‘bacon sandwich' Achilles heel to my staunch ‘vegetarian' calf. Free cardboard box? Free kick to the gut? Yes please! Unfortunately, while upon terra firma, it rarely occurs. Not for real, anyway. Things like, 'free love' come with dependents and DVD-nights attached, 'free booze', crippling hangovers and seriously cringey memories, 'free food' a BFF moment with your toilet bowl.
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.
Sunday Bike Polo
3... 2... 1... Marco - Polo!
This is polo. Hardcourt polo. Homemade mallets, customised bikes, and a long neck of Coopers. Three players to a team, first to five goals wins. Crashes are common, and swearing is required.
It takes a combination of bike control, ball handling skills, and a general disregard for personal safety to succeed in this modern interpretation of the classic 'high society' pastime.
Lost & Found Hotel Room
The last time you were in Melbourne you spent two nights on a friend's couch, three nights on a friend-of-a-friend's yoga mat and one night slumped over a sink somewhere. It was free, it was fun, but you now have a gammy hip and can't remember seeing anything except the front of a strobe light and the back of your eyelids.
Five Dials
Issue 11 of Five Dials begins with a note on lists, and how useful they can be as effective slices of biography, hinting at what's going on in a person's life at the time of list writing.
If I showed you my current list you might dislocate your jaw from yawning so hard ("Remove apostrophe from 'you're'", "Change photo background to white") so I thought instead I'd write a list of the things that went through my head while reading Five Dials:
1) Heh.
RCRD LBL
RCRD LBL makes me wish I hadn't once been fired for streaming audio from MySpace all day. Man, that could have been a sweet gig, but you know, Icarus and all that. Now if you didn't get that then you should probably read more, or maybe get a little more into music and RCRD LBL is a great place to start.
FourThousand's XMAS LUAU
Take a deep breath, this party is going to be HUGE and you'll need your underwater lungs to get through the spiel... on the count of three, together now (1, 2, 3) So, as you may have heard, FourThousand is banding together with our neighbourhood friends to put on a BIG Xmas Luau at The Zoo. Upstairs and downstairs, it's going to be epic - yes, epic.
