on the road again

oh, the F3 and Mooney Mooney bridge.

so this weekend, i'm actually chilling out at home, in preparation for a bit of a mammoth drive and a gargantuan people-filled weekend next weekend,

that's right kids, TINA is back! what's love go to do with it? everything and nothing!
This Is Not Art Festival, that's what. I'm really excited this year to be going and i'm hoping that someone from wollongong council is going 'cos god knows we need something like it down this end of the coastal range, that's for sure. I've been meaning to go for a few years now, and each year it seems to get bigger and bigger, so this year i decided to just bite the bullet, fill up the car and head up the F3 again - i've done it a few times this year, so i can't use the drive as an excuse anymore.



It runs all long weekend (Sept 29 - Oct 2), but on Sunday i'm going to join all the cool kids and check out what's going down up in newcastle. i'm looking forward to checking out some of the forums
stuff that looks good so far:

subjective vs objective and art writing art both on at watt space from 11:30am
voiceworks mass debate: young australian writing is boring and shit - ooh, i love a good debate!
niche - at WEA
history is so hot right now - at the festival club
new!shop somewhere - i couldn't quite work out where it was, but i'm sure i'll find it - i'll use my nose :)
the zine fair
codespace - at the playhouse theatrette
soda_jerk's pixel pirate II - at the playhouse theatrette

and then at night, my friends SC Trash are playing the Lake Cowal benefit gig at the festival club, so that's where i'll be spending the rest of the evening at least! excitement plus!

talk about all over the place!! i've got no idea how close all of these places are, but i'm guessing that although i've got big plans, i reckon i'll see about 4 of those things. like all good festivals or conferences, your hopes are so much more than you're actually capable of.

and in unrelated news, my invitations to the platform show arrived yesterday. yay!
can i just say how rad whirlwind are? i don't care what anyone says, these guys take the nightmare out of printing invitations for shows.





so if you're in melbourne, come to the closing party for the show on Friday 24th November at Platform 2. I'll go into further detail about Entropy in the next couple of days, with updates about the process, some work-in-progress images, etc. so stay tuned.

and also stay tuned for more info about what's happening with the liminal personae show.. it's also travelling and heading to Gallery 4A next month!
