Description:
Can anyone party like a Keith! Party can party? You can give it your best, but it ain't going to be easy. With Talkshow Boy at the helm of the beats, things are sure to get wild when this all MCing, all dancing, party juggernaut of colourful misfits visits Collingwood. With an ever increasing number of members it can be hard to see where they begin and the crowd ends, but this is exactly why they are so much fun; they can make anyone's white cracker ass shake.

The most exciting part of the Vic Market is easily the deli section. Before starting your weekly shop you have the opportunity to make a nuisance out of yourself, mooching around, trying as many cheeses, olives, cold meats, pickled goodies, and wines as you can without spending a penny. It's great.
Now, a word of warning; don't get too carried away.
It's been worth the wait for the Fleet Foxes' well-crafted debut to rear its head; folk, country, and bluegrass mixed together to rather more dreamy effect than their recent EP. Now, although the dynamics of the songs don't change all that much; drums roll at the bottom, acoustic guitars and keys chime in the middle, the lead guitar has its nose just in front, and the lush group vocals play on top, the use of clever musical arrangements makes it warmly captivating.
Sugardough looks and smells just like grandma's kitchen. Pretty Portmeirion and fine china tea cups hang on the walls along side ornate plates, adding a touch of home charm to this sweet-scented bakery café. Here is a place unafraid of teasing your greedy eyes and evidently proud of its produce.
The Spanish have it down tight when it comes to good eating; taking your time, digesting, having a listen to conversations around you, and savouring your company like your wine is the ethos behind it all. Friendly, talkative and communal, Bar Lourinha offers some of the finest tapas and European wine in the city.
