Is the world getting to you? is your boss on your back? are you feeling a little stressed? was the weekends partying not enough to get your mind off it all?

Rejoice! for there is an answer to your prayers.

No it is not Thursday mass, it is Tuesday dancing sessions (in the dark)

No Lights, No Lycra is run by a group of young kids around Melbourne who just love to dance in the dark.

There is nothing more soothing than dancing like a retarded toddler with a hundred people in the same room and nobody cares. so come upstairs at 250 George St, Fitzroy have a dance, have a laugh, have a ball and get your relax on!

Time: 7:00 every Tuesday

where: 250 George St, Fiztroy

How much: not much or nothing!

What better time to write of the pre-pitch night antics than pre pitch night itself.

One: you get to find out who is also pitching by sending emails to all your friends and finding out who is still at the office.

Two: youtube has never worked so hard.

Three: threethousand offers the best of itself when you need it most.

Four: the ache is not one of the head just yet, but more of a stumoch churn thanks to the best international local takeaway.

Five: watching the beads of sweat drip from the creatives head, thanks to the excessive amounts of fine red wine being consumed

six: planning the night that will never happen over facebook, twitter and text.

and lastly finishing everything, binding the doco and just waiting to get into a pre warmed bed thanks to the lovely ducks in the floor

Masterchef, Come dine with me and My Kitchen Rules are responsible for hack cooks all over Melbourne attempting to create their own “unique” recipes, my housemate is unfortunately fallen under this spell. They are also responsible for inspiring a young bunch of Melbourne peeps who have invented a little competition amongst friends with a weekly cook off with a twist. The group of 10 were split into couples and told they must serve a 3 course meal to feed 10. But each dish must have Pea as an ingredient. Some dishes to e served up so far are; gnocchi with Napoli/pea sauce, Lamb cutlets with pea puree and Wasabi peas encrusted Flathead tails. All in all it is a great twist that gets the boys cooking up some Gastronomic delights rather than playing B-Ball outside of the school! 

1 Fennel street has recently been transformed into the new head office for Globe melbourne. With a freshly sandpapered skate park the kids flocked down to show off there new skills, threads and kicks. Falling in love seemed to be the perfect topic for the night, be it beautiful ladies, cute skater boys, the BMX in the corner or the globe brand itself.

Typical to a completely rad warehouse party there was broken toilet doors, the coolest Holden GT and plenty of fixies parked out the front.

The biggest moment of the night was a pretty little b girl copping a flying skateboard to the face creating a CSI loking scene next to the vert ramp.

Lessons to all! take up all invites and awesomeness will happen.

So you’re young? Have a great understanding of the world? Are always connected to the Internet? Are living off 2 minute noodles? A junior in an ad agency? If you say yes and want to know what all these things have in common! Look no further than Monday trivia at the George. Cheating is encouraged, booze and food is the prize and you get free movie tickets for a shit sexist joke! So get your ass down next Monday for the easiest way to get drunk or stop complaining about how you are pasta again last night!

The old fashioned town of bendigo holds host to the an old fashioned good time on the first saturday of may each year. This years good time was headlined by everyones favourite Vampire weekend with help from Silver Chair, Spoon, Tegan&Sara and plenty of other funpunching bands.

Tips:

If you miss out on a music festival it is not far for those who went to rub it in by saying how amazing it was and how much fun they had dancing to your favourite song in the sunlight. So I instead of saying these things I am going to offer tips so you can be them next year.

1) get your tickets early. like real early. borrow (steal mums) a credit card.

2) Book acommodation probably before you buy your ticket. (even if you miss out you can still have a lovely weekend in bendigo!)

3) cut lines (you didn’t here it from me) but walk up and down untill you find a primary school friend and rekindle that friendship! (food is a great line-buy-in)

4) dress approriately - Bendigo is worse than melbourne; it is freezing at night, boiling during the day and you never know when rain, wind or floods (a bit extreme) are going to come from. 

5) don’t bring your phone: or at least dont bother trying to use it. embrase the fact you will loose your friends and run around like a loner for a while. this means you can meet new people who also prefer to get stuck in a giant mosh pit waiting for vampire weekend than listen to empire of the sun.

6) novelty costumes are to be left to the underagers. being the drunken cow that has her teet failing out is only comical to those who aren’t the cow

7) don’t be organised as the best times come from the least planned moments. like the half our walk that went for 2 hours (this included pink bikes, lawn bowls, olympic photos and wicked skid marks)

8) …….. don’t follow my rules and you’ll still have just as much fun

love
