Westside Angst
My friend Duckworth gave me a blog last week, which I read finally last night after finishing watching Persuasion on ABC (loving the Jane Austen Sunday night specials, what great programming).
It's written by a guy who organisises the zine workshops/scene for the Adelaide Fringe, and was also quoted/written up in The Age when I was in Melbourne in April, when they wrote a feature about the Sticky Room zine shop ("East coast librarian shouts out has just arrived in the shop" said one volunteer assistant to the other whilst I was browsing). Anyway, I must have told DW about it, and he said he knew Ianto and next time we meet, he brings a zine. It's beautifully put together, way better than any of the other zines I've seen, enclosed in a recycled cardboard cover, and with many personalised finishing touches. Presentation is key, as A always says when he's cooking for guests and gets all tizzy about the plating.
I've put the link above, and shall have to paste it in, as I've just been (procastinating) reading his blog. Several of the things he references, that amuse me, is the same fave furniture shop in Semaphore, the Hutt St oxfam bookshop and what Producers was like back in the nineties (a haven for snoozing heroin users). Naturally I can't remember ever having met him, even though DW insists he was at the Boxing Day barbecue I went to; obviously I wasted my time talking to the Matthew Slaughter guy when I should have been looking for things to read in the dark...
