It’s been a jam packed week for Melissa and I, here at more (or less)! On Thursday night, we had the launch party for lip Issue 18, at The Front Café and Gallery in Lyneham. There was poetry (in both the funny and dramatic varieties), music from Ah! Pandita, and when that was over, hours of entertaining chatter with our favourite friends.
On Friday we went to Grass Stains 2, at itrip iskip in Braddon, for the launch of the Little Beats Zine Distro, who happen to be stocking more (or less). The night was balmy hot, so we mostly milled in the cool outdoors, listening to some awesome music, and hanging with some of our favourite people in Canberra (awwwww!). We also picked up some pretty cool zines, which are helping to distract us from the horrors of uni assessment.
And yesterday, we went to Stonefest, the annual University of Canberra music festival. We saw Art vs Science, Children Collide, British India, Josh Pyke, and Birds of Tokyo. Stonefest is renowned as one of the trashiest events in Canberra, and there were certainly a lot of inebriated, crazy people wandering around. But once I got the beer out of my hair, and learnt to dodge the groping hands of many an old, drunk guy, it was quite a lot of fun!
It’s nice to occasionally realise how great the Canberra arts community is, and how much fun it is to live here. That doesn’t mean we won’t be fleeing to Melbourne as soon as we graduate, but it’s heart-warming all the same!
Also, special thanks to our friend Katherine, for entertaining us for the past week. You can check out her blog, Kings & Quinns, here.
