I am beginning to wish I was still just a stumble from The Powerhouse as they have a good looking mixed bag of free stuff in addition to their usual programme.
Maybe next year... or over your way to West End... or Kangaroo Point... or out to some acreage... so it goes.
I actually haven't played the Beautiful Schizophonic disc yet as I have been quite busy and have also been enjoying just using the Squeezebox as a shuffling juke box.
I have some 3000 tracks on it now and it's proved a great buy already.
Maybe this weekend, but it's BIFF time already.

Thank Dave... - RC Daniel 00:50:08 07/30/09 (5)
for the congrats on the job. I am now officially a QLD Public Service Jobber!
I have not checked out the Powerhouse program for a while - I will. I like living in West End - I am a 10 min walk from the Boundary St. drinking and modest music establishments. For bigger name acts, there has not been much quality at the new Hi-Fi that I am interested in; the Hi-Fi also lacks soul - it is like being in the media room of a McMansion. The drinks are bloody expensive and mostly Fosters stuff - $9 for a Stella (probably brewed at Yatala)!
Sounds like you are having fun the Squeezebox! When I get other audio projects sorted, PC-based audio will be a goer.
Crap, BIFF starts THIS weekend? Damn it!
Cheers
Raymond

- BIFF started last night, Raymond - dave c 14:03:45 07/30/09 (4)
  But I don't think it's selling well... I have had 2 emails this week offering 25% off tickets for "Gala" events and just yesterday an el cheapo offer for a bunch of tickets including last night's opening event and party... which doesn't read well.
  I am going to my first film tonight.

    Er, ah, oops (looks around and shuffles sheepishly)... thanks for the clarification! I have had my mind on other stuff.
    Hmmm, I am not sure BIFF's promotion, or marketing in general, is especially effective. Promotion need not cost big $$$. That said, I am pretty oblivious these days. I used to be a member of the AFI and voted in awards etc... It takes something extra to grab my attention.
    I am off to a gig a the Tiv tomorrow night � a friend of a friend is playing. I need an airing ;^)
    I hope you enjoy the film and festival in general.
    Cheers
    Raymond

    - you should join the World Cinema Club - dave c 14:20:28 07/31/09 (2)
      It's $60 a year and you get 2 tickets to about 12 films.
      They usually (although not this year) show a couple of films prior to the festival for members only and then there are special events and stuff.
      - Sound nice - I will look into that! - RC Daniel 22:07:25 07/31/09 (1)

        And may also consider the AFI again. I am starting to get the urge to recommit to my life and throw a few metaphorical balls in the air - perhaps I will add cinema to the mix (again).
        
        Cheers

        It gives an interesting mix of the weird and wonderful including some documentaries.
        I think that maybe 12 tickets a year for $66 is a bargain.
        Most screenings are at the Palace or Dendy.
