a magic Friday night… our 2nd ever Dumbo feather & friends evening in Sydney.
Thank you Dean [Manning, Issue 1] and Jen [Peedom, Issue 2] for sharing their gutsy and ever-so-entertaining stories.
Thank you Carriageworks & The Rabble for an incredible venue and challenging, cinematic and extraordinary performance. Here’s an insightful review if you’re interested.
Thank you Anthea, honestly I would be lost without you.
But mostly, thank you for coming. Once again, so wonderful to be able to put some more faces to the names and to be reminded of what a fantastic community of readers we have.
Ok, so we don’t have tickets for 2 to Paris itself to give away, but to the next best thing… the film - an “emotional and inspiring ode to Paris” - starring Juliette Binoche and Romain Duris.

If you are “overworked and underlaid, or slogging away in a job you don’t like to buy things you don’t need to impress people you can’t stand” and if you’d like to hear more ‘Observations of a Very Short Man’ from Nigel Marsh (Issue 14), then head to Adyar Bookshop, Sydney in a couple of weeks.

Dean Manning (Issue One) is most well-known for his talents as a musician, but for as long as he’s played music, he’s also painted, in fact Dean painted all the images that became the Leonardo’s Bride (his previous band) posters and album covers. After thrice being selected for Salon des Refusees (the alternative Archibald & Wynne Prize selection) Dean decided to let his painting take centre stage for 12 months. The result is a body of work that is quintessentially Dean and will be exhibited next month. Keep reading →
We have 30 in-season double passes to give away to ‘Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead’, Sidney Lumet’s latest film with the stellar cast of Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ethan Hawke and Marisa Tomei. 84 year-old Lumet received his lifetime acheivement Oscar three years ago, but keeps creating amazing pieces of cinema. If you’re in the mood for a romantic comedy, this aint the film for you. It is no ordinary heist thriller, but also a family tragedy reminscent of Shakespeare’s finest.
If you’d like a double pass to see the film, then be one of the first 30 to leave a comment below … (just ‘hi, I’d love to see the film’ will suffice) …
