Why is it that once you’ve decided good stuff is around the corner, it all happens?

1. I’ve just received my Wood­ford pro­gram. Ohhh, can’t wait! Looks sooo good. Ember Swift, Cat Empire, Wild Marmalade, The Bird, Kristina Olsen, Penelope Swales, Sprocket!
2. I got my weekly update from eventsin­sydney and dis­covered that by pure chance, I’m going to be in town for New­town Fest­ival!!!!!!!! Omigod!!!!
3. I went to STA today to start plan­ning my next adven­ture. Okay, so this one was delib­er­ate, and planned, rather than serendip­ity, but it’s still wonderful.

Anyhow, Sydney­siders: I’m going to be in your fair city from Sat­urday until Wed­nes­day. Sat­urday is a pool party in Dangar Island with a friend; Sunday is appar­ently New­town Fest­ival (!!!!!) and I’ll also be dining with and inter­view­ing the people I’m pro­fil­ing for the Good Week­end; Monday even­ing I’m spend­ing with my old school friend Naomi; the rest of the week I’m mostly free. I abso­lutely want at least one night to be dinner at Than Huong in Mar­rick­ville again, so maybe a big thing on Tues­day? And those of you I haven’t actu­ally met in the flesh yet (I’m look­ing at you, agirl­named­lucky), feel free to rock along to the big gath­er­ing, or drop me a line and we’ll do brunch or lunch or one of those other things journ­al­ists do.
