There will be a sweet illustrated booklet for you to take away detailing how to deal with an epileptic seizure. spoiler alert:

  1. move away sharp/dangerous objects,
  2. check the time
  3. try to put something soft under their head,
  4. don’t try to restrain them, don’t put anything in their mouth,
  5. call an ambulance if it lasts more than 5 mins or there are two seizures in a row)

the booklet was designed by the very special Ellise Bourne (see 1111part1.blogspot.com.au/p/ellise-bourne.html

Continuing an indelible creative partnership that has brought us the sweat-soaked r’n’b of Black Vanilla, Collarbones’ ‘Hypothermia’ and countless shows shared across Australia, two of Sydney’s most prolific producers go back-to-back on 12” wax for the first Finer Things release of 2014 – splitting Scissor Lock’s 9 minute epic ‘Awatef’ with the vocal-infused dub-noir of Cassius Select’s ‘Bull’ and ‘Each Step’.

Sydney Anarchist Bookfair, Addison Road Community Centre, Marrickville
10am-5pm,

In 2 weeks time, Sydney will have its first-ever Anarchist Bookfair. The lineup of stalls and speakers is looking fantastic, with visitors from around Australia and the world. Plus there’ll be a great afterparty with a mixed bill of folk, bluegrass and punk at the Red Rattler.

Anarchist bookfairs started 30 years ago in London, and have since proliferated in over 50 cities worldwide. Why have they become so popular? Why do many more people go to anarchist bookfairs than conferences or meetings? Jay Kerr, one of the bookfair organisers, discusses these questions and more in a recently published short article, Anarchist Christmas comes to Australia.

Entry to the bookfair is free (although donations are welcome!). The bookfair is a safer space, the venue is accessible, and free certified childcare will be available. It’s being organised by Black Rose Library and Social Centre, Jura Books and other Sydney anarchists. If you’re interested in helping out, volunteers are still needed on the day and to poster in the lead-up. If you can help, send an email to sydneyanarchistbookfair@riseup.net. But most importantly, come along on the day! And tell your friends (you could forward this email to them) and bring them too. All are welcome.

For the full timetable, check the Sydney Anarchist Bookfair website closer to the day: http://sydneyanarchistbookfair.com/

All the way from the USA, Kevin Micka AKA Animal Hospital makes sound ‘based on the idea of building a piece of music up from scratch into a completely fleshed out arrangement often containing enough parts to employ many musicians’. Alas Kevin will be performing in solo mode. He has produced three albums under the Animal Hospital name since 2004.

Also playing are The Friendsters, who just released a 7″ on Eternal Soundcheck (http://www.eternalsoundcheck.com/products/the-friendsters-s-t-7-pre-order) and Exotic Dog.

12th March 2023 – By 2014 things were slowing down in the Sydney underground as councils started getting more aware of things going on that failed to comply with overzealous regulations.
