Not Happy Jan. I have nothing planned. And everything I want to go to has been sold out - Damien Rice (not Leith), Snow Patrol, The Killers.
And seems like no one wants to come with me to see Peter, Bjorn and John (yes, that's a music group and Swedish too) :( Let me know if you wanna come along, as I think the gig will be fun. It's cheap too.
The only thing I have planned (social-wise) is the Mardi Gras Film Festival Opening this Thursday night. I have a short film I edited in the selection, so it will be exciting to see the audience's reaction. So far, everyone seems to enjoy the film. I've edited the director's last 2 short films, and we seem to have this great collaboration going. Fingers crossed it leads onto a feature.
Usually with these things, however, at least half of the films selected are crap. There will be a few gems, but in general queer filmmaking in Australia is pretty tragic. Seems like it's hard to make a "coming out" or "drag" film well. I am dragging along 4 friends with me, so HOPEFULLY they won't get too bored with the evening's entertainment.

Scissors!
I saw them on Monday night with Amanda at the Entertainment Centre - sheesh! had not been there for at least 10 years...
Seems like attending a Scissor Sisters gig gives people the right to dress up like pirates and tarts etc!
It was a pretty good gig, although I tended to enjoy the bits where Jake Shears was singing and strutting - apparently, he was a stripper in a previous life - as opposed to the songs where Ana Matronic performed - she suits the MC-style of her role, but her singing is pretty BLAH. They sound great live as well, with a fun lighting and visual show on the stage. "Filthy/Gorgeous" had soft porn projections with 70s-style big-boobied ladies shaking their good stuff at the camera.
We had great seats, although we spent most of the night on our feet boogieing. There was a group of fans 2 rows in front of us who started dancing as soon as they took their seats even before the Scissors came out! I swear, one girl, who was decked out all in pink was on something funky. I don't think she stopped moving all night!
