Yum! Matcha (green tea) cake at Cibi in Collingwood is something I love (Kappaya, now at the Abbotsford Convent, also do a good one). I’ve been revisiting some old favourites recently and Cibi remains a great place to meet friends for coffee and food. Seriously good coffee.

So I got myself all dolled up Saturday afternoon to take photos of my new dress. I planned to head into the CBD earlier than my dinner companions - meet the little one's boyfriend night with my sisters and the boys - for drinkies with a friend.Two seconds after arranging to meet in the city at 5, the heavens opened and the motherUcking hail began. Thus began the next two hours of boyfriend, Krumm and me running from window to door to bed to bathroom to inspect the gobstopper sized hail stones... I've read reports of tennis ball size hail ...

Trippy Taco is a fun place to take friends visiting from interstate. Over the long weekend I met some visiting friends on Smith St and we brunched at Trippy Taco, sharing the breakfast tamales (declared the winning dish), taquitos and the fried tofu burrito (very delicious). Then we had a wander through the shops and enjoyed the hail storm… Fitzroyalty - hyperlocal news and reviews about Melbourne's first suburb: Fitzroy 3065 by Brian Ward is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.5 Australia License.
A video about our weekly rebranding sessions, pressuring the Labor Party and the Brumby Government to get our of the pocket of the coal industry an start doing something real about the climate crisis - such as transitioning Victoria out of coal and to renewable energy.
I’ve been walking past a suggestion box in High St, Westgarth for a long time now, and was curious about who put it there. Thankfully, Off The Kerb have solved the mystery for me… The boxes were installed in various locations by Nick Ilton. His intent was to encourage people to stop and contemplate, and, judging by the brief lifespan of his previous public art pieces (anyone remember the square bicycle in the racks at the State Library?), he did not expect them to last very long. Suprisingly, the boxes are still in place, and Nick received many suggestions. These were ...
I met this delightful creature off Johnston St yesterday. I have seen a few others in laneways around Lygon St, but have no idea who the artist is. Filed under: collingwood, love your work
Well, one way or another I was always going to be on the road this (long) weekend.For the first time ever, I'm booked in for Golden Plains:There's a long and involved story about two friends getting me drunk and suggesting this would be an ideal way to get over my general dislike of festivals. Whatever, the line up was enough to convince me.Who’s playing. This year’s lineup is brought to you by the letters “spirited”, “pirate” and “classic”.PAVEMENT, DINOSAUR JR, DIRTY PROJECTORS, THE BIG PINK, MIDNIGHT JUGGERNAUTS, TAME IMPALA, SUPER WILD HORSES, OPTIMO, CALEXICO, MONOTONIX, GASLAMP KILLER, NASHVILLE PUSSY, JEFFREY ...

This new studio is being renovated as we speak and ready to move into 2nd week of March. There will be 6 studios ranging from $80 - $120. Soon a new kitchen and lounge area will be installed with outside “wet work” area and BBQ. I really want a handful of practicing artists/designers that can bring inspiration and flavour to the space. Please email me if interested. On Vere Street close to Smith St - amazing light.
Fitzroy/Collingwood seems to be the hotbed of social enterprise businesses in Melbourne (see my review of restaurant Charcoal Lane), and in late 2009 another one opened around the corner from me – The Social Studio. The Social Studio is a non-profit fashion studio space staffed by approximately 20 young members of Melbourne’s refugee community and overseen by the lovely artist Grace McQuilten. I think the value and purpose of The Social Studio is best articulated on their website: The main barriers faced by newly arrived members of the community are unemployment, isolation and difficulties accessing education and training. The Social Studio addresses ...
One of the many interesting pieces on display at Per Square Metre. Saunter thru to take a look at we heart melburn – a February long fest of local street art. Gallery Wed-Sun, with artist markets from 12 Sundays, and film nites each Monday (entry by gold coin donation). Filed under: cinerama, collingwood, love your work
The sparklers burned out long ago, but it’s nice to see this street sentinel has a new pal to hang with! Spotted outside Per Square Metre today. Visit Junky Projects here… Filed under: collingwood, love your work
I was disappointed with my trip to Trippy Taco this time. Everyone banged on about the Tofu Asada taco/burritos which I tried but didn’t like it as much as the usual fare I eat there. The tofu was lovely and smoky but my meal was also cold by the time it came out. I think I prefer the usual mix of beans or perhaps I just cant tell because it was cold. It was still delicious but I would have liked it hot! It was nice to snuggle in there on a such a rainy night though. The staff are ...
This Provenance Food & Wine Co. degustation event was simply too tempting to miss! Six courses with a summer berry focus! Sadly, the Edinburgh Gardens venue did not work out, so we dined on the faux lawns at Provenance. Our afternoon of summer berries began with warm ciabatta bread, strawberry infused olive oil, and raspberry salt. Next, chicken and strawberry skewers with rocket salad, followed by venison skewers with a blueberry sauce, on a bed of celeriac. Desserts included summer pudding, vanilla pannacotta with berry compote, and blueberry tiramisu. We drank a 2005 Point Leo Road Blanc de Noir (Methode Champenoise), which matched the plates perfectly! ...
There was a time when the grungy Grace Darling was the kind of pub which you’d cross the road to avoid. Now the pretty brick and stone building has been given a good clean-up and on a sunny day you’ll find the pub full of youngsters spilling out on the pavement tables and filling up the glamorous inside bar. So the crowd inside the pub’s atrium dining room was a bit unexpected – it seems to attract an older, quarter-acre block, class of diner. Maybe the youngsters go to the Grace Darling to drink, not to eat, which would be a ...
You want HOT? You got HOT! At hippy Trippy Taco, you can get XXX HOT. Just pour some of the XXXtra HOT chilli sauce that’s provided at each table on top of your quesadilla, taco, taquito, burrito or nachos. It delivers nose-sniffling, mouth-numbing heat and is the perfect antidote for the drooping summer swelter. Trippy Taco is a chilled out and kitsch Mexican cantina (think somberos, cacti etc) that serves up vegetarian, even gluten and dairy free, Mexican classics for late breakfast, lunch or dinner. You can take your food away or tuck your legs into one of the tiny school-desk sized ...

My one and only photo from the day, taken from the street outside my house . . . complete with light leaks and a church cross. I'm always amazed at how these pilots maneuver with such synchronicity while painting the sky with jet streams. Thanks to the most recent followers for signing on and for all those that have visited.

I have a very cool friend who is the barista at Pearl Oyster. He also comes around a lot and is the fill-in girlfriend for my housemate. It makes sense to me. On a particular day when we were all very over hung and in need of resuscitation, I dragged the boys to Proud Mary. I have never eaten breakfast here, but it was pumping harder than a body-dysmorphic body-builder from Brisbane, and probably brought out as many plates of eggs as one would eat. And never ever let me train on a 35degree day, after a heavy night of drinking, ever again. I ...
