What’s on this week in Perth?
Good afternoon!
I’m glad that you’ve taken the time to allocate your eyeball resources to the people here at EnjoyPerth! We are very appreciative and are quite thankful for this, given your participation in the reading process helps us to pay our bills. Bills such as electricity, internet connection charges, government bribery cash – y’know, the usual.
Crazy changes are a-happening here at EP over the next few days, with the Bayswater offices closing its doors and relocating to the other side of the country. We feel that the best way to properly understand the vast diversity that Perth has to offer is to leave the state and relocate to Sydney. Don’t worry, EP will still have its fair share of West Aussies, with the boss expected back from her whirlwind tour of Czechoslovakia (yes, she owns a time machine) and we also have Jamie (resident EnjoyPerth! telemarketer, prawn cracker fryer and meteorologist) who will step into the role of chief blog post writer every so often, once we drag him out of the back alley and beat him for a while with a french stick.
Our good friends at RTRFM are doing their annual Radiothon right now with the absomassively huge launch party happening Saturday night at the Astor. Personal favourites of mine Voltaire Twins and the super sexy Boys Boys Boys will be performing on stage alongside a dozen other aupercalifragilisticexpialiawesome Perth acts. If you love Perth, you should be supporting RTRFM by subscribing every single year. Plus if you subscribe during Radiothon 2010, you’ll get the chance to win flights to other countries, entertainment packages, concert tickets, books, CDs, hot air balloon rides and bucketloads more.
If you feel like chillin’ out this weekend, our friends at the Northbridge Piazza are screening Picnic at Hanging Rock on the big screen for everyone to enjoy. For more relaxy stuff, check out Darren Hanlon at the Fly by Night and for even more extreme relaxation, you can head over to Morley for some Live Pro Wrestling. I can’t think of anything more relaxing than to watch two sweaty men beat each other up in a ring surrounded by hundreds of fans screaming for blood.
On a side note, don’t forget to vote if you’re eligible to and remember to put some thought into it this time. Your vote WILL make a difference this time, now more than ever. Don’t waste your vote, don’t vote for a party because someone else told you to vote for them and don’t drink milk past it’s expiry date. Especially when its lumpy and green. That last tip is an important one. I learnt that the hard way.
Jamie (resident EnjoyPerth! sock pre-warmer, bicycle juggler and meteorologist) tells me that the week will be partly cloudy and very cold, with 3 degree nights expected midweek. To keep warm, Jamie recommends rubbing two 1960s style toasters together whilst soaking in a nice hot bath of matured goats milk. You absolutely positively must use these items otherwise a slight chance of dead may occur.
Whatever you do this weekend, we hope you go out and Enjoy Perth!
- love, hugs and kisses, your EnjoyPerth! pal grum.
