Out of the paddock, into the shed
Three very scantily clad fairies just went past on roller skates - the Revenge of the Amazons has most definitely arrived! It's booking up quick - so get your skates on!
And due to touch down tomorrow is Godzone, a brilliant wee play that spawned from a 48 hour film festival challenge about sheep! You can check out that film here.

With an all star cast of 17 on stage led in a brand new outrageous production, this is the perfect pre-Christmas treat!
So get your skates on and don’t miss the first professional production since its debut at Circa Theatre in the early
‘80s.

street animation for the masses
out of the paddocks and into the shed
An hour of hokey-pokey, gumboot-throwing blokes and sheep. It’s flat stick, open slather on the doodackie huru we call
home.
Ladies bring a plate. Blokes bring a crate.

I am such a sucker for these cats!

\Have Yourself an Alternative Little Christmas
If you dread all of the consumerism and fake-snow-on-shop-windows that goes along with Christmas, why not try something
a little different?
Here are some ideas:
- Use recycled paper to wrap your pressies, or even newspaper.
- Buy someone an online music download voucher - no wrapping paper or transport costs!
- Have a 'buy nothing' Christmas.
- Vouchers for goods and services (like massages, music, clothes, theatre shows etc) are only one piece of paper and
they allow you to support local bands, designers, shops, venues etc.
- When everyone asks you what you want for Christmas, tell them to take whatever they want to spend on you and give it
to a charity of your choice.
- Buy second hand goods! A nice vintage dress, retro crockery and all sorts can be found at your local op-shop, trash palace or David N White Gallery!
- One of my friends figured out the perfect price ceiling for gifts. She spends no more than $12.50 per person, which is
enough to get something useful and personalised without going overboard.
Here's a few websites that might help in your quest for an ethical, anti-consumerist Christmas.
