Just a heads up that Mark Seymour will be at the Festival Club, Melbourne Writers Festival, on Saturday Sept 2, 8pm, along with Clare Bowditch and others. It's a free event, in the courtyard at the Malthouse Theatre, Sturt Street.

www.mwf.com.au for details and go to the Festival Club link.

This Saturday folks, and free at that. 8pm, the Malthouse, Sturt Street, in the festival tent. I'll be there relaxing after two weeks of festival and redefining the word exhausted.

Thanks for that Hk,
I'm sure you have done a stirlingly fine job for the lads & ladies of letters.

So, Mark Seymour this Saturday. I'm sure those who attend, will never forget it, & it will make them laugh & cry, till they shout it to the blue summer sky. Erm, sorry, it's only just Spring.



& on the redefinition of the word "exhausted", might i suggest the words, "very well done Hk!"

He was excellent, Seany, and did a couple of acoustic numbers. Most enjoyable.

Festival is over and now I sleep for 5 days before commencing planning for next year and paying for this .

Wonder if I can get a Finn for the songwriting gig next year?

Oh wow. Sounds like it would have been fantastic.

One Finn would be good. Two Finns would be even better. & Three Finns, well you'd really be cooking then.

Any chance of seeing if James Reyne could partake next year? I have a few questions regarding the lyrics to Beautiful People..
In particular the line that goes, "jee bapum jee bapum, whaoooh!".

Look if you need help with a lamington drive to fund next years event, just give us a hollar. The world is always a richer place for the liberal sprinkling of desicated coconut, don't you think?

& erm, Paul Kelly would be a good get too.
Enjoy your hard earned rest. Any truth to the rumour that Harry Potter will be attending next year?
