An Evening of Offal
Offal, as far as culinary tastes are concerned, is deeply divisive. Melbourne, by a combination of empirical reality and a smug sense of multiculturalism, prides itself on the diversity and quality of its food. But there are so many people who, despite otherwise adventurous eating habits, recoil in terror at the idea of a "variety meat".

Descripton:
Riding a fixed gear bike from London to Paris sounds like kind of a drag, right? You would have to possess a unique kind of masochism to ride that far without, I don't know, changing gears, don't you think? London to Paris documents the efforts of ten men who undertake this journey, lifting the fixie from hipster cliché into a realm of Herculean because it was there achievement.

Spring Cocktail Launch
So here's the thing, you guys, I don't even want to tell you about this. What? No. Seriously, you wouldn't be interested. No, no, no, really. Well, okay. You know what a negroni is? No? See, I told you. Well, let's just pretend you know what a negroni is.

Speaking as somebody who is very easily irritated - and when I say 'very' I actually mean 'extremely' - nothing infuriates me more than a man wearing a shitty suit. Know why? Because it smacks of ingratitude. The suit has been designed from the ground up to make even the most slovenly, homely, porcine man have a shot at looking sharp.
The Savage Lovecast
Do you plan to have intercourse in the next six months? Scratch that. Do ever you plan to have intercourse? If your answer is a resounding "Fuck yes" then you would be well advised to listen to The Savage Lovecast. For the unaware, Dan Savage is a (and here, if I were speaking to you, I would obnoxiously preface the first term with "quote, unquote") sex adviser and podcaster based out of Chicago.
You Look Nice Today (podcast)
Are you familiar with the simultaneously glorious and dismaying feeling that results in the sudden realisation that you are just never going to be as talented as someone you admire, but, goddamn it, you are going to love them all the same? A dissonance compounded by a distinct lack of social graces, attractiveness or general hygiene on the part of the admired figure? Woody Allen should be a pretty good point of reference.
