Description:
Whatcha gonna do brother, when the 24 inch pythons run wild on you? Do you wanna rock and roll all night, and party every day? If you appreciate the buttloads of awesome inherent in the last two sentences, then do we have a show for you. What could be cooler than spending a cold wintry Friday night watching some oiled up musclemen in tights have a good old slap and cuddle, while being serenaded by four other men in make-up and blow-dried hair? No, not like that, (although if you're free Thursday we might be able to fit you in), we are talking about the majesty of professional wrestling and KISS cover bands.
Event: Exhibition
Stimulus: sound the horns!
Hey Melbourne, as of 4pm today, get ready for "a breath of fresh beer air in a world of same same." Somewhat confusingly The Pond is not a body of water, it's a short-term pop-up bar that is brought to us by Pure Blonde.
The whole idea behind the bar is to breathe new life into an ugly urban space and so a derelict courtyard and a laneway has been converted with the cunning use of plants, recycled garden pots, and some amazing BOSE speakers that look like mushrooms.
Ever returned home too soon from a trip to Europe and found yourself unable to adjust? Walking around in a beret and stripy t-shirt, staring at the Arts Centre spire, squinting your eyes, trying to convince yourself it's the Eiffel Tower?
Fortunately, relief is now at hand. Delicious relief. The people at Waffle On have started making baguettes, which they bake themselves."I've never cared for typical fancy restaurants and eateries, and I care even less so for table manners. Give me a little bread, make it crusty, a little soft cheese, a little wine to get tight with, and then sure enough you'll find me down by the nearest cool stream on a hot summer day ‘rejoicing in our blessings'.
Let me ask you:
If a rabbit was to shop for something what would it buy? Carrots. If a monkey was to shop for something what would it buy? Bananas. If a fox was to shop for something what would it buy? Rabbits.
My point is that animals have a desire to purchase items of need and want as much as humans.
Billy Thorpe died on the last day of summer. That day me and Age went down to Chelsworth park with some beers and fags. I had completely forgotten about his passing until - in the early evening - as we climbed through the golf course fence, we heard ‘Most People I Know...' booming from the football changing rooms.
Last time you were conjuring up a love potion, stabbing voodoo dolls over a relaxing G&T, or re-arranging your favourite wolves hides, did you ever shake your head and wonder: ‘what's up with the same old, same old?'.
Well, now you can glam up your rituals and add a little sparkle to your shrine.
