raw space brisbane
shout out for the free wifi and great coffee

although terrible disco music playing right now - bring back the scissor sisters! the art isn't bad either, big prints composited from film images.

'push up' is starting to get me with the groove - not even 11am and dancing. secret dance activism in brisvegas.

flying out tonight for sydney, and stopping for oh at least 3 weeks.
longest anywhere in a while. then newcastle for national young writers festival and electrofringe, where I'm talking on a panel or two, playing with sophea and andrew in their food radio workshop and hosting an evening radio chat show for the writers festival - my first daily live radio. can't wait, very exciting. maybe a new career... one day

after this global symphony is up and out in the world.
getting closer every day, working on networks behind the scenes.

today is the final meeting with brisbane city council and the green bridge for the details of the permanent installation, first ever in the world anywhere live sound feed permanently on a bridge.

time in brisbane has been fairly quiet, spent the weekend working and reading, watching the scrub turkeys fight for territory in the back yard. love their child raising arrangement - the male builds a mound of dead leaves and stuff for the eggs to live in, goes out wandering in the bardon hills to find a mate for life, then when she lays the eggs and takes off for a while, he looks after them, monitors the temp and conditions of the mound until they hatch. Not sure who brings them up then, but sounds like a fine set-up to me. Scrub turkeys, very cute.

Dreaming of a linen cupboard to call my own.
