Good Afternoon, Folks!

Again, email=epic fail, so it's a Friday list as opposed to a Thursday
list ;) Note: I have left some Thursday items on the list, because
they started yesterday.

It's the January return of HELLFIRE tonight... so pop on along and say
an early Happy Birthday to Master Tom (his is tomorrow night) :) This
weekend also sees the first night (with a lot of competition mind you)
for ALT.SAT.FORBES: NIGHT CREATURES. Pop on in and see what it's like.
Also, remember that this weekend sees the culmination of FLICKERFEST
2009 - it's been a great run and some really excellent short films
this year as well :)

Also, we are coming to the end of the 2nd week of the SYDNEY FESTIVAL
with all of the free things really hitting their stride. You know, the
nice thing about the Sydney Festival (these days) is the amount of
things for the public, not just for the art-elite. Saying that, This
week are a number of free events (not as big as last Saturday's Mega-
Dance-Party in the CBD - that was insanely good!). Free movies with
live soubdtracks at Darling Harbour, The Gypsy Kings joining the JAZZ
IN THE DOMAIN set, many more paid events such as theatre, THE
SPIEGLETENT, music arts and displays all over the city from Parramatta
through to the CBD. It's all good. Actually it's so good, I should
just let the list speak for itself this week.

See? Just a very short intro this weekend. 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/embed?src=eventsinsydney%40gmail.com&ctz=Australia/Sydney
) 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).

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 FESTIVAL MADNESS, BATMAN!! IT'S 2009!!... ALREADY!!!!!......
