The story of 3 train lines

Friday, April 25th, 2008

I have had the fortunate ability to have traveled on 3 (possibly 5) different train lines. Glen Waverley Belgrave/Lilydale Carnbourne/Packenham They are listed by the way in order of the one that I want to travel. I have always used the Glen Waverley line because it was closet to home, but recently I've had ...

6 Links

Monday, January 28th, 2008

Close to the corner of Swanston Street and Little Flinders it's a nice basement bar which some great furniture and good selection of drinks with carlton draught, asahi, pure blonde on tap. To be honest the seating isn't that great, it's a little to much form over function but there is ...

Melbourne Comedy Festival

Sunday, May 6th, 2007

As last year the Melbourne International Comedy Festival rolled around again, and similar to last year I decided to see a few shows. While I'm not really a reviewer of sorts I will give you my best recollection and thoughts about the gigs that I did see. Charlie Pickering Surprisingly not as ...

Sarah Blasko

Thursday, November 16th, 2006

Went and saw Sarah Blasko at the Forum Theatre in the city, just in case anyone doesn't know it's probably one of the best if not the best live music venue I have ever been. The acoustics are so much better than anywhere else including the Prince of Wales in ...

Plastic Photo Show

Thursday, August 31st, 2006

I have a few friends who are rather good photographers and as a result, combined with the photos that I took on the overseas trip, I have become rather interested in the field as well. While I was at Uni doing my thing I noticed that there was a photo show ...

Hilltop Hoods at Festival Hall

Saturday, August 19th, 2006

I had already bought the recently released album The Hard Road and had listened to it a quite a few times, it didn't have the same impact as The Calling did but it was, what I believe still a good release, it was with hope and excitment that I also ...

David Ford at Ding Dong Lounge

Friday, August 18th, 2006

I had heard him in an interview on the Triple J's Morning Show and I was quite impressed at what I heard while I was half awake, I didn't quite understand how he used loops to produce the music because it sounded quite complex but I was also quite attracted ...
