So what do ya do when you dont have a gig on this weekend? (shock, gasp)
You go to Vivid's opening night.
I have missed the last few seasons and thank heavens I got out to see it on a cold, wintry Sydney night. The MCA animation was simply mindblowing.
According to our very own Miss Penelope, who as we all know, is one switched on hipster, this years festival is the best yet. If you're a Sydneysider, get out and see it, it's worth it.
The Rocks hold a special mystery for me that is peculiar to Sydney. There's a depth of age there, tiny backlanes that were only known well to the inhabitants, useful bypasses for the times when scallywag behaviour had you dodging the Authorities (worked right up until the 80's....or so I am told)
Now, the back lanes are filled with stalls, electronic art installations and human statues. Mind blowing.
I'm in the midst of trying to come up with the next bunch of videoclip ideas and going out to see this stuff was just what I needed. Crikey there is some good work out there, and I didnt get half enough time to see it all tonight, so I might even be found wandering around the festival again over the next week :-)
It's FREE! It's bright and shiny! There's a Bridge! What more reason do you need? Go see it.
Man do I want some of those toys.... drool..Shiny!
