They ran out of red paint

Spray paints from Ironlak, one of the sponsors of RPRSNT, they clog up too much

We (Haline, Tilon, Sam, Sivear, Susan, Huynh, Tina, Julien) went to see Jason Mraz at the Vanguard on Sunday night. The night was good overall, He played my favourite song “You and I both” second up but didn’t play his hit “The Remedy”, most of what we heard came from his new album “MR.A-Z. Half way through he got the audience to give him phrases so he could make a song out of them, all the local aussie ones came up, “thats just not cricket”, “where the bloody hell are you” and “I’m a happy little Vegimite”, he pulled it off nicely too, funniest moments of the night. He’s a great entertainer, very easy going with the audience, but at times he tended to talk a little too much. As a venue the Vanguard is not great, but the sound from where we were peaking Mr Mraz, from the top balcony at the back was awesome. The bass from the bongos and the slightless guitar note was very clear. Damn you tall people who had seats in front of us but felt the need to stand up throughout the gig.

The last time I was in Vietnam, I took this picture from the hotel room I was staying at for the night in Saigon. That day and night really had a bad effect on me because of the overwhelming pollution, heat and traffic that I experienced. I couldn’t wait to get out of there and go to my old home in the My Tho province. Anyway, making the street scene look like a miniature kind of helps me see that it wasn’t that bad. I want to go back soon and visit my grandmother.

Saigon Soldier has some beautiful low res images of Vietnam by a person who has made the first journey back to re discover her roots. She also has a cool blog

Kill Pixie exhibition at China Heights Gallery, thickly applied lacquer is really nice over artwrorks.

Continuing the kozyndan love with this and this post, Haline, my little cousin (who had her 11th birthday the previous day and the taker of this photo) and I saw them over the weekend at the Outre gallery, they were signing and chatting to their many admirers.

Got this signed and drawn on by Dan, which was already signed when I bought it last year, but what the hey. its now nicely framed and waiting to be hung somewhere. I gave them a copy of KLEFT magazine, which Dan really liked, I added in that they declined my invitation to be interviewed for it 2 years ago when I asked them. hehe. Haline managed to unknowingly leave with one of the pens they were using to draw with, it might be worth something? Only to a die hard fan maybe…

We also checked out the Evan Hecox exhibition at Monster Children gallery too, it was nearby. Seeing his work up close is a must because of his amazingly clean and finely executed work, he’s got such a cool style filled with detail that can be lost on screen.
