Good Afternoon, Folks

Wave goodbye to the Canadian and Mexican Film festivals - they're over
this week... but come along and check out the 12th Annual Japanese
Film Festival.

There are a lot of very good films to check out - this year (actually
there are a lot of good films at this Festival EVERY year). Tickets
are rocketing out the door for THE WHO, next year. Grab them while you
can.

For those who don't know - A VERY MAYNARD XMAS is happening tonight
and it's bound to be a VERY interesting night (especially if you
remember Maynard's Madd Club in the early 90's).

Speaking of tickets... grab yours for BLACK CHERRY XMAS, and THE BLACK
BUTTERFLY NEW YEAR'S BALL as they will sell out quickly.

See? Just a very short intro this week. So, let's just get on with the
process of putting this list out :)


To visually follow Events In Sydney I direct you to our Google
Calendar (
http://www.google.com/calendar/render?cid=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fcalendar%2Ffeeds%2Feventsinsydney%40gmail.com%2Fpublic%2Fbasic
) and the Calendar function in Yahoogroups, so those of you who get
this mailer, can log in ( http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Events_In_Sydney/cal
) and have a look at that as all events are listed there as well
(they're all the same events - just in differing formats). Also, this
list is now mirroring on Google Groups ( http://groups-beta.google.com/group/eventsinsydney
), so if you have a Google Account - keep an eye out for us there.

Just a reminder that Events In Sydney has a Facebook Group (http://
www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=5591270255) and a presence on MySpace
( http://www.myspace.com/eventsinsydney ) so you can find us there as
well. Events get added as they're notified, and we post the weekly and
weekend events lists there as well.

That seems to be everything I have to rabbit on about, for the moment,
so let's get on with the listing, shall we?....Daily updates (when
there's something, which I find interesting, on) can normally be found
at the Events In Sydney LiveJournal site ( http://www.livejournal.com/users/eventsinsydney
). Easy to read and easily linked.

For those bands you might be interested in, have a look at Faster
Louder ( http://www.fasterlouder.com.au/index.php?city=1 ) for that
Independent What's On Listing (which we also supply details to).

<THIS WEEKEND>:
This week/end: THE ROCKS GHOST TOUR haunts CADMANS COTTAGE in THE
ROCKS; SYDNEY & PARRAMATTA GHOST & HISTORY TOURS hearse on through the

<ADVANCE NOTICE DEPARTMENT>

Please note that some events are VERY much in advance and can be
affected by closures, raids (as was demonstrated on Saturday night at
The Agincourt), organiser rebookings, weather, etc...

Keep an eye on the site-links for up-to-the-minute details.

If you are only interested in the next month or so, look below. If you
want to pre-plan <gasp! shock! horror> then please feel free to do so.
I will ONLY list regular club nights for 2 months in advance (unless I
see an official email from them in advance - because things change so
much it's insane to try to do otherwise).

Prices are listed as Full/Concession.

HOLY MADNESS, BATMAN!! IT'S DECEMBER!!... ALREADY!!!!!......
