Buzzz and weeds

If you missed the church of Kathellisism last night at the Buzzz (not Buzz, BuZZZ) bar (349 King Street, Newtown), well, too bad, you missed the bohême, the glamour, the clamours and the rest ( the bourgeois were exceptionally discreet). It's a bit as if, going to a damn fine restaurant, you had chosen the surimi instead of the mud crab, or instead of the kangaroo fillet, the tofu tartare. Welll... nexxxt chance wednesday fortnight, same place same time, lucky you!)


And that "White Trash" by Adam Hill in the Frolic shop window, 501 King Street! Bliss on branch, as Frogs exclaim.

At the Addison Road Gallery (142 Addison RD Marrickville) this Saturday 14th, between5 and 8 pm, Loris Quantock opens a show of paintings and constructions, and the comedian Rod Quantock will perform with the caustic humour he featured on teevee - before getting the sack for being TOO caustic. This is a free country, right? But can one be THAT free? (Check out Momô's fate in the Greek Theogony by Hesiod...) The show is running till the 29th October.

Also on this Monday 16th October, from 6.30pm at King Street Gallery on Burton, 102 Burton Street, Darlinghurst, "Art with a Heart for the Wayside Chapel" will take place, featuring works by
