SOCIAL NOTES
AUGUST 4: It’s RIGHT NIGHT at the Bellevue Hotel, Paddington. Organised by actress/documentary maker Chloe Traicos. From 8pm. All welcome.
AUGUST 10th-13th: Commenter 91B30, a US serviceman, is in Sydney: “My wife and I are coming to Australia via the trip available to servicemembers that you linked to several months ago. Could I ask that locals offer any advice about seeing the city? I am really looking forward to our trip.” Please post advice in comments, and stay tuned for notification of a pub visit during which we may buy a drink or two for Mr. and Mrs. 91B30.
AUGUST 13: THE THINGS!
The SMH’s Pat Sheil explains: “Built out of the wreckage of Jimmy and The Boys, THE THINGS perform everything from Aretha to Zappa, leavening the mix with some of the most horrific drinking songs ever written. They are not, by any assessment, very nice.
“The support act is none other than the softest working man in show business, Mr Warren Brown, who will reduce the audience to tears with his dobro ukulele interpretations of the work of George Formby.”
AUGUST 14: Mark Steyn in Sydney, live on stage with Owen Harries and Janet Albrechtsen. Hit the link for details.
AUGUST 17: Mark Steyn in Melbourne. Again, hit that link.
AUGUST 22: Rejoice as Amrozi, Ali Gufron and Imam Samudra achieve glorious martyrdom. Venue to be announced; BYO virgins.
AUGUST 30: Bring your polystyrene sauce and fibreglass stuffing to celebrate 1,000 days of plastic turkey deliciousness! More details as the date draws near.
