Good luck Tugz! I bet I know where it is.

Kylie was everywhere - she was hobnobbing with the staff at Garagistes when we were there pre-PJ. Really enjoyed PJ Harvey's show, but it definitely helped being tall. They need to elevate the stage or something - it was much easier to see the Dresden Dolls because they were both on mounted platforms on the stage. The whole festival was brilliant - we're definitely going back for the full week next year.

White Noise is great, and Underworld has some pretty wonderful moments. I dunno, some of his books (Ratners Star, Great Jones St, The Body Artist) have just put me to sleep, but Libra, Underworld and White Noise really dragged me along. Even though it's not like any of them had particularly compelling plots.

Yeah, count it in whatever year you finish it in.

I've read a bunch of books already this year - Peggy Frew's House of Sticks was pretty great, while Helen Garner's Monkey Wrench was kind of disappointing. Everything else falls somewhere in between.

Yeah, it doesn't work. Not a good sign that the place is going to be well run and sustainable. I give it 3 months.

Anyone know anything about this new place which looks to be opening up on Brunswick Street in the not too distant future?

Surely it will spin at some point. The question will be whether Lyon is good enough to trouble players so used to facing quality off-spin.

Jesus, how long can they keep picking Haddin?

Any Victory fans know what's happened to Solorzano? Surely he's a better bet than Allsop Seems like an incredibly poor decision for Victory to sign him up if they're never going to play him.

The Westgarth bookshop cafe has closed already. Hippies shouldn't run businesses I guess.

Had lunch at Chin Chin yesterday which, if you can stomach the hoards of people and incredibly hipness of the whole place, is excellent. Not heaps of veg options, but nearly all of them are vegan-friendly and everything I've had has been delicious.
