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.
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.

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.
Brisbane Comedy Festival 2010 as told by Comedian Tom Ballard
Hey Brisbane, are you ready to laff (sic)?!
Good. That really is the best attitude to have, particularly when there is a comedy festival approaching.
Actually, the 'laughing' is really a bit of a bonus. The real question is "Are you ready to go through a ticket-booking process and attend a venue at a specific time?.
Home Brewing
So ya wanna drink beer right, you also have no money, and you're reaaaaaally lazy. WHAT TO DO!? Well have I got a tip for YOU!
Get yourself a sciencey buff who is into researching and studying up on anything (ANYTHING) and team them up with a friend who is so pent up with mood swings that they are looking for something (ANYTHING) to do with their hands.
