Things and Stuff
Jun. 23rd, 2008 08:36 pmI'll write a real update one of these days, I promise. For now, here are some things that are happening over the next few weeks...
June 20th - 29th: Ignite at Docklands (thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kitling for the link). A free fire festival from 6pm - 11pm each night. Of particular note, the Pyrophone Juggernaut is playing at 6:30 and 8:30 each night. How's this for an introduction?
aeliel and I are hoping to get out there on the weekend.
July 3rd - 6th: GenCon Oz in Brisbane. Looks like it will be fun, but exhausting. I'll be spending a goodly amount of time working at the Walrus & Carpenter booth, running Warmachine games. I have a heap of things that need painting before we leave next Wednesday, though they'll have to wait until after I finish the commission work covering my desk. We get back to Melbourne on the 7th.
July 3rd - 16th: Reel Anime 2008 at the Kino Dendy cinema. They're screening Appleseed: Ex Machina, Batman: Gotham Knight, Vexville and The Girl Who Leaped Through Time. I'd like to see all of them, but being more realistic I'll probably only make it to one. Vexville is looking good.
I'm... not winning, today. There's no single thing causing it, but it just seems to be a steep climb uphill in any direction I want to go in. I'm still working flat out, but I'll need to start looking for some sort of real job (tm) after the 7th - I'll keep my business running on the sidelines, but it just isn't stretching far enough to cover the bills at the moment. It's been a hell of a long time since I successfully got through the job application obstacle course. I wish I knew where to start.
Still, the winter solstice passed over the weekend. It only gets brighter from here, right?

How's this for an introduction?Based on a 250 year old experimental musical instrument, Hubbub Music's "Pyrophone Juggernaught" is the largest hand-operated multi-octave fire organ in the world. Deep growls, atavistic moans, and even choral sounding timbres combine with epic bell chords, industrial drums and acoustic bass to create a spectacular unearthly concert of heart pulsing rhythms, ethereal melodies and sub-sonic percussive drones.It closes this Sunday, so
