What’s on this week in Perth?
G’day Perth, how you doing?
I’m typing this post from the future. Cool eh? Currently the time is 2PM here in the eastern states but it is only 12PM for you over there in WA. That means that I could watch the Lotto and give you ALL the winning numbers. Thats how much of a nice guy I am… I think? Thats how time travel works, right? Anyhoo, I can report from the future that the world’s scientists have yet to discover the cure to the strange strain of public transport driver flu that is spreading throughout Perth but as soon we find one, the powers that be will travel to every pub and RSL in the state to find these sick bus, train and ferry drivers and cure them forever. Scientists from the future are very smart, I promise you they’ll sort this crisis soon.
We here at EnjoyPerth! love giving away stuff. How does a hundred bucks worth of pampering sound like to you? Well the kids over there at Guys Grooming are giving away a $99 Fathers Day package to two lucky EnjoyPerth! readers! All the juicy information can be found on the competition page!
The Trio known as John Butler Trio have spent the past few months on a gruelling schedule to release their new ‘APRIL UPRISING’ album simultaneously in eleven markets around the world. They’ve decided to come home for a while and play under the big top at the Freo Arts Centre. So why not join them and get your root on. When you’ve done that, can you get back to me and explain what ‘roots’ is. I really don’t get it.
Personally I’ve always been a fan of bands with names that are places. Groups such a Phoenix, Kansas and of Montreal not only bring magical ear pleasures but also have the ability to take your mind to far away magical places. One such band by the name of Washington takes my mind to a wondrous land of statues, zany Republicans and that big pond thing that Forrest Gump ran through to be reunited with his love Jenny. Washington also happens to be the name of a band who will be at the Fly by Night this weekend.
Hey, just a reminder that the RTRFM Radiothon is wrapping up with the super awesome RTRFM Radiothon Closing Party happening. So subscribe, head on over to the Rosie and rock the night away with Perth’s best local talent.
Jamie (resident EnjoyPerth! marine biologist, traffic warden and meteorologist) has stuck his finger out the window and is happy to report that this weekend will be fine with a couple of clouds that may threaten some rain towards Sunday arvo. The nights are going to be a tiny bit warmer compared to the past few days however don’t whip out the budgie smugglers quite yet.
Whatever you do this weekend, we hope you go out and Enjoy Perth!
- love, hugs and kisses, your EnjoyPerth! pal grum.
