Hello, dear sailors of the internet sea.
Veritably, we are in the new year and it is COLD but that is okay because I still have some christmas cake left and I still have not taken down my somewhat rotting tree, thus my time stands still.
What gossip for you... The 7th Annual Poets vs. MCs is on next Thursday [28th Jan] upstairs at Komedia: the city's best poets and rappers live on stage for your love and/or abuse, plus special guest host Dizraeli.
The winner of the Hammer and Tongue grand Slam Final 2009 was once again the mighty Spliff Richard! Is your poetry good enough to beat him down? Hammer and Tongue proper begins again on Thurs 4th Feb; sign up for the slam to win a place in this year's final, and we shall see...
Those of you who came to our NYE Pirates of the Caribbean-themed Trailer Trash! will know what a crazy, magnificent shindig it was - and for those of you who were unable to get tickets, you will be most thrilled to hear that our next event will be on Saturday 20th March, and that the theme will be Baz Luhrmann. So.. dust off your courtesan corsetry, pick up your Shakespearean forbidden lover [underage and/or suicidal = optional but not advised...] and slap on the fake tan and Australian accents as we celebrate Luhrmann's greatest films, with fire, aerial, burlesque, djs and some very special guests...
In the meantime, I am on the very brink of making an inordinately beautiful art/poetry book with local internationally renowned art cop to the stars Jake Spicer, so keep your eyes SKINNED for that.
NB. My New Year's Resolution is to visit faraway friends more often, so if you know me - and haven't seen me in a while - beware [and put the kettle on]!
