INTRO: Academy Notes

I don’t know where to start. Attempting a summary of any festival would require access to the thoughts of all involved, because any festival is the people who make it up. So the only thing I was able to say about it before I left Adelaide for Robe to take some time out was, on Twitter, [ READ MORE ]

The View from the Sewers

Yesterday I came across a potential source of confusion in an author’s use of the term ‘underground cell’ and was compelled to google ‘underground’ again.

There are two panelist-shaped gaps, and I’m open to the likelihood of people getting involved at the last minute, so maybe [ READ MORE ]

Format’s Academy of Words is about six weeks away, and we’ve started meeting to discuss things like who can drive a manual and how many bean bags we will need. I submitted the program late, but they were cool about it: Sam Rodgers is a machine. I feel I have joined with a like-minded crew of [ READ MORE ]

Join the Academy

I had another meeting with the Format crew last night and got all excited about programming the Academy. I’m still looking for panelists and performers to get involved, so here’s the submission form, and there is a little more information at this Facebook event. (I know I wrote about pulling away from Facebook, but I’ve [ READ MORE ]

Crowd-sourced Programming

… In the DIY spirit of Format and the one-day literary festival I’m programming for them, I’m posting prospective blurb titles for the events I’m thinking of running on the day, and I want you to write the blurb you think I should run with it. Hopefully some panel ideas will come out of it, and [ READ MORE ]

The Academy

When I came back to Adelaide from Melbourne thinking I could take some time off and bury my head in some books at work, I didn’t expect that a bunch of Adelaide crew would have set up a goddamn arts festival and plonked their headquarters down in a little side street off Hindley, that mungtarded [ READ MORE ]
