Ink Remix
It’s near the end of my time off and I finally managed to check out Ink Remix. Featuring artists from Taiwan, Hong Kong and mainland China.

It is a collection of their work bound together in a hundred colour pages. They have been sourcing funds through IndieGoGo. They recently achieved their initial funding…

Tonight was Skate Fatale, with the CRDL Vice City Rollers against VRDL All Stars. As people were filtering through the gates, a band, Annie and the Armadillos plays out classic and easy-listening tunes. They…

Amanda Palmer Ninja Gig
Went to the Amanda Palmer gig tonight, but now its nearly one and I am very tired. This is just to reserve a space I guess. I just finished off the small bottle of Yamazaki whiskey I bought from Japan, so still feeling pretty awesome after bike rides, live music more bikes and powerful storm…

Roller Derby Saturday
The roller derby bout between the Sydney Assassins and Canberra’s Vice City Rollers was something I was looking forward to for about a month. It was Lord of the Rink, Battle of the Two Towers and was held at the AIS in an actual arena, being a massive crowd and match to boot. Sadly, I…
