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).

        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.
