Wednesday 6 June, Seymour Centre: Free, RSVP required

David Kelly: How to build your creative confidence
Resonating entirely, I’ve got that story of primary school too. And even though I found some creative confidence whilst in 6th form - thank you Mrs Egan-Fowler - I’ve lost it again. Have to work on finding it and enticing it out once more.

Vivid Sydney 2012: Opera House
Friday night I schmoozed along to the MCA Artbar launch night. Its going to happen the last Friday of every month - but this one was doubly special as it was also the light-up night for 2012’s Vivid Sydney Festival.

So here goes
During the week, I decided I wanted to start a blog. At the time, I was probably procrastinating, as well as talking to a friend about recording memory and diaries and such. So here goes!
Those who know me, I’m a big sharer of stuff. Anything I’ve glimpsed, seen, heard, been to, read, I want everyone around to experience it too. And I can talk a lot right. So instead of boring...
