Well there are so very many of you reading this site, and you all know so very much. So rather than us telling you what’s on this weekend, we’re throwing the ball back in your court.

Welcome to the RiotACT DIY Wotz On Guide.

What are you thinking of going to? What have you heard is on? And, most importantly, what parties can we all turn up to?

For those of you who want to get serious…

SUNDAY 15 MAY: CANDLELIGHT VIGIL OUTSIDE THE ISRAELI EMBASSY.
5pm. Israeli Embassy. 6 Turrana St Yarralumla

A candlelight vigil will be held outside the Israeli Embassy at 5pm on Sunday 15 May to commemorate the 57th anniversary of al-Nakba in which the Palestinians lost 78% of their homeland to the state of Israel and those Palestinians whose lives have been lost in the continuing struggle. Bring candles.

TUESDAY MAY 17: WAR BY OTHER MEANS. HOW ISRAEL IS USING THE PEACE PROCESS TO CREATE A NEW GENERATION OF PALESTINIAN REFUGEES
6.30 pm. Reception Room, ACT Assembly Building, London Circuit, Civic

Greens MLA Deb Foskey will chair a public meeting featuring a presentation on the current plight of Palestinians by Rob Gray OAM, a Canberra-based peace activist who has worked in the West Bank and Dr Kevin Bray, who has recently returned from Palestine. The presentation will be followed by a screening of “The Wall”, an Israeli documentary on the barrier that Israel is building through Palestinian land in the West Bank.

A joint public forum by the ACT Refugee Action Committee and Australians for Justice and Peace in Palestine.

the NRG gig was organised by a local… its just got backing from MoS.

But the question is LG, who are you? *G*

As Fred Smith at Tilleys’s is sold out, he’ll play another show at the Polish Club on Sunday Night.

I would indeed!

Seussical? You’d know my mate Jethro then.

Sorry G, habit. She was in Seussical with me.

err Mrs Mayor? Now ya lost me

hmmm, on the one hand I admire the way the Ministry of Sound has developed a global brand in quite a short space of time.

On the other hand they were So Yesterday back in 1996!

At least if you lvied in London.

Hell, if they organise a good event then does it really matter?

Ministry of Sound HardNRG dance party,
Canberra Indoor Rockclimbing Centre, Mitchell.
Tickets $15.00 presale from landspeed, or $20.00 on the door.
Features John Ferris, and a massive lineup of awesome locals, as well as an array of varying harder style music.

Sounds like another fridge to fridge for the public art walk JB….

Grand Final Rematch between ANU and Belconnen at South Oval will be worth a look if the weather stays like this.
Magpies Karaoke in Kippax is always worth a laugh as well – especially Scotty singing his Kasey Chambers tunes.

Yes, Mrs Mayor called today and said she went last night and loved it too! Said the audience was small but had a “blast” so to speak.

I have organised a wonderfull cold blowey day for the kick off of the season for all the junior brumbies. So bring out the wellies, brollies and don’t beanies for this great winter sporting event.
p.s. Santa nobody gunna kick them white fella’s to far this year.

Slim Pickins and Round John Virgin (and friends) play the Phoenix, Friday evening, 5-7. Free!

I was thinking booze could only improve the enjoyment of public art.

But please I’m sure this isn’t the only event on in our wonderful home this weekend.

Can we bring booze?

Anyway, I have sporting commitments on Saturdays.

To start the ball rolling I’d like to encourage anyone who’s interested to come along and contribute to RiotACT’s assessment of the Civic Public Art Walking Tour. Planned kickoff 11am Saturday 30-APR-05 but I’m amenable to negotiation.

Email johnboy@the-riotact.com if you want to come along.
