Stray
STRAY is about random adventure and escape. STRAY is about pretending that Brisbane 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.
Nine Lives ‘Feed The Cat'
Think of your four-legged friend when you neck that cold (or relatively cold) FREE beer whilst you and your fancy pants take a spin on the gallery floor. You swill, looking deeply at the works, thinking how cool it would be to own a cheque book, pause and get another beer. You'll remember your four-legged friend when the beer runs out and the art stops being hung - you'll wish you got that cheque book and that you'd brought something in aid of supporting not only your favourite Friday night hang out, but your local artists and curators.
Handball
OMG remember handball? How much fun was handball? I don't mean the Eurotrash handball that looks like water polo minus the water, but the kind you used to play in school, between periodic mania for marbles, pogs, tazos, bottle caps, huffing paint, Blink 182 and lying about who you'd fingered at Laurie Milligan's house.
A Not So Soggy Saturday @ Ithaca Pool
Sick of prematurely melting like a Drumstick in the heat? Solution = head to a poolside, musical inner city oasis for the last instalment of Soggy Saturdays (previously Soggy Sundays).
They're hoping for a little more sun and a little less rain this weekend, so they've coined it ‘Not So Soggy Saturday' this time round.
Taxi Tips
So here's the situation. You're a cool young thing, you've been out on the town cruisin the strip with your own two feet, maybe you found someone to cruise and strip with, maybe you didn't, but it's time to go home and you need a cab cause you're drunk (which is still cool no matter what the government tells you).
Paint The Town Zed
There are improvements to be made in our urban landscape. Although the romanticism of a dilapidated City Hall, squatted barracks and empty brick walls mean that we can realise adventures with ease, it's also great to see something other than badly executed throw ups. What better place to see amazing wall art than an arterial road, right on the foundations of community radio station, 4ZzZfm.
Portable presents: REFINERY29
Piera Gelardi and Philippe von Borries have excellent names. They are also very clever, and are the two key people behind one of New York's most forward thinking online fashion publications, REFINERY29.
Followed by millions every month, REFINERY29 caters to an international fashion audience through a range of online avenues, including designer shops, interactive trend reporting and style guides.
Archery
I decided that this year would be the year that I increased my skill base. Though there will be no courses in Excel or InDesign for me. No nunchuck skills or computer hacking skills either. Instead, I will be learning archery.
A chance encounter with the Archery Club awakened in me a sudden urge to shoot things, not necessarily living things, but things all the same.
