literary guests in melbourne town


tom stoppard and neil gaiman at the athenaeum, first time at the theatre and i was in the front row. oh yeah. felt like bit of a fan girl but it was so very interesting to listen to these two wild haired men. tom left the stage before i felt comfortable enough to take a photo. whereas with neil i felt right at home snapping away.  strange but true.

after tom we were all sent out of the theatre to stand like sardines in the foyer and were delightfully surprised by an impromptu song from the top of the bar by amanda palmer and her ukulele.  it was fabulous and i am looking forward to seeing her again in january.




i didn't blink all the way home on the tram, just in case this weeping angel singled me out and transported me to another time and place. she looked amazing.
