Sunday Velvet

I've finally got up pics i took at the tram Museum in Hawthorn last year

a walk through the Melbourne botanic gardens and war memorial

some little beasts that made friends with me at Davids sisters house, Nina and Tibalt. they just sat on me cos they know im allergic, lucky they were cute

last weekend was the ballarat heritage weekend, we went down with D's family and stayed the night at his sisters place, she had been involved in the festival and had setting up/curated quite a few of the exhibitions

potos of the Dinosaur walk display at Tasmania Zoo, which is a bunch of giant statues of Dinosaurs in the bush

so the last 3 1/2 weeks was melbourne international comedy festival. i usually update here about things to see and recommendations and stuff but seem to have switched to twitter for my main internet-ing of things these days.
anyhoo, i was working as Front of house manager in the Portico room, on the second floor at Melbourne Town Hall, a 67 seat venue, with all wonderful artists performing.
I had Timandra Harkness and Matt Parker in maths of death (for 6 days), Umit Bali (for final 10 days of the festival) Anne Edmonds, Celia Pacquola and Damian Callinan
each performer was super nice and a pleasure to work with.
I didnt get to actually see their shows though (but i had seen Anne perform this show at melbfringe)

considering i worked 5.30-11 pm most days i couldn't actually see many festival shows, but I did manage to see a few things:

Peer Review
Daniel Kitson - Where Once Was Wonder
Watson - Shakespeare fight club
Political Asylum
Tie her to the tracks
Slow clap - Truth
Dr Brown - Befrdfgth
Sam Simmons - About the weather
Simon Amstell - Numb
Set list x 4 ish times
Haus party x3 and other festival club bits and pieces a few times

so many things i would have loved to have seen, it's not worth thinking about ;p
over all it was a great festival.

still some more pics from Tasmania visit : Animals at Tasmania zoo, in Northern tas, near Launceston

tonight we went to smart bar at Melbourne Museum, a late night opening of the science and life exhibits with bar, dj, and talks and demos by curators

some snaps in Tas with my niece and nephew, a few snaps at the pool, and with their cat
