If you live in Melbourne and you have the
chance, get along to The Wheeler Centre (the centre for books, writing and
ideas).
Last night after work, a girlfriend and I swung past
to hear a couple of notorious crime journos chat about their subjects and the
books they’ve written. For a Tuesday night in the city, it’s excellent
entertainment – and like last night, most often free.
The guys were very funny. One was talking
about a notorious Sydney criminal "who was at the time, the country’s biggest
importer of heroin and working with the country’s biggest criminal organisation
– the New South Wales Police.”
The first time I went was to see a session
on Ethics in Advertising….yes, really!!
So after an hour of intellectual
stimulation, we retired to the Seamstress' cocktail bar for a couple of beverages and a review. I was
home by 9.30pm. Perfect night out on a Tuesday.
BTW,
a couple of people have asked about the tap light from The Renovation.
Here’s a link for a shower head that also lights up: …I think I need to investigate that one too!

We also went to The Wheeler Centre's event to launch Kaz Cooke's new book - Women's Stuff, with Judith Lucy, on Thursday. Hilarious!!! Might post about that this week...
I too have discovered the excellent programs at Wheeler Centre but not the Seamstress' cocktail bar! Will have to hunt that out.
