Lovin the nomadic lifestyle of having lived in a small mining town in south africa for 12 years, Sulawesi Island in Indonesia, Geraldton (you gero deros know what i'm talkin' about), went to school in Perth and moved to Melbourne 3 years ago to shove my year-12 withered carcass into the theatre and nightlife scene. Crisis time has hit home having just completed a journalism degree at RMIT which pretty much means **** all these days so in celebration, some mad-core partaying, raping of dance floors and general summer festival engagements ought to be undertaken.

Although I think the swings and show rides were more popular than Neil Young's performance at the Big Day Out in Perth this year, those who haven't experienced the likes of the confrontingly uncomfortable cabaret entertainer Tomas Ford will (when they do) want to share their thoughts with fans/not-so-much fans or the general public, hence a contributor I become.
