This year the door of MIAF's Artist Lounge will be bulging at the hinges with VIP-mystery. The bar staff are well prepared for those without tickets who will turn up salivating and garbling words like, "leeet uuuus iiiin" with a stinging look of wanker-evil in their eyes. But don't let the mountain of envious bodies clawing at the carpet hold you up.
For you - all abuzz after your artsy show, clutching your ticket stub with festival cheer - the Artist Lounge is open. It'll be like heaven's lounge room: good-looking people pouring beer and performing cocktail wizardry, the kind of couches that swallow you up, wifi, and Patti Smith (maybe... we can't promise anything so please don't send the dogs if she's not there). Be at one with artists, directors, groupies and fellow festival-goers and compare your Schönberg nerdery over a drink.
