It’s pretty straight forward. I have the recordings from the conference, so all I have to do is trim them, combine them with the tops & tails, run the files through an enhancer and get them ready for distribution.

Photohunt Honeycomb: A fun after-hours Alpaca-spotting game for conference attendees in Canberra
Here’s something you won’t see in most cities. Honeycomb the Alpaca has been spotted over the years being walked around Canberra neighbourhoods on foot and being ferried around town in the back of a Mazda 121. He visits nursing homes and hospices. He’s “like portable happiness”.
If you’re organising an event in Canberra that’ll have people coming from interstate and overseas, why not add a fun challenge for attendees that’ll have them looking at the national capital from a different perspective; have a prize for pictures of Honeycomb on Flickr tagged with the conference name too. Score one point for a picture of Honeycomb out & about and two if they manage to get a picture with Honeycomb, or maybe have a first-past-the-post competition. Judges would have to be able to verify the image on the camera, iPhone, whatever and then verify the date/time stamp and geotags on the Flickr upload to make sure it’s a legit image.

Familiar Fable
Lauren Hewitt’s Familiar Fable exhibition takes local streetscapes and turns them into haunting scenes. One is left pondering what dark deeds are going on behind the gates and just beyond the windows, who has just passed over the streets, where they were going and why.
My favourite piece of Hewitt’s work is not displayed in this exhibition. It is a dark shot looking down a street at night. In the distance an old driveway gate hints at a derelict property local kids might tell stories about. My pick of the exhibition is a piece of road, shot with very short depth of field. There might be a chalk outline beyond the focal point, there might not. Bogart would be right at home in Hewitt’s noctural world.

Fourplay at The Street Theatre
If I were in town this weekend, I’d be at The Street Theatre seeing Fourplay tonight. We had their latest album, Fourthcoming, as the album of the week on ArtSound a few weeks ago. It was the first I’d heard them, but I was blown away by their string arrangements of rock tracks. If you’re not already committed to something at 8pm tonight and tomorrow night, you could do far worse than go see the show.
