Save BBy Riss BBy BBQ (more info on Baby Riss Below)

BLACK VANILLA
JAYSWAYS
T. MORIMOTO (THOMAS WILLIAM)
CHUNYIN (RAINBOW CHAN)
MAKING
GOLDEN BLONDE
MERE WOMEN
POWER MOVES (DJ SET)
SIMO SOO (DJ SET)

All of this will be taking place at the defiant Monster Mouse Rehearsal Studio with yummy treats, cupcakes, BBQ available! Come get fed for a good cause!!

Black Vanilla the ectoplasmic resin of three distinct taste makers from the Sydney Club Scene Marcus Whale (Collarbones, Scissorlock), Lavurn Lee (Guerre, Cassius Select) and DJ Plead (#artblogmogul). This is a sexual grab for the guts, dense rhythms and painfully intimate commands. they got you jacked up.

Golden Blonde euphorically tense boyz of the #2k14 Sydney arts scene. They work tones to constrict yr senses and conduct rhythms that deny A to B gratification for a longer deeper high. Hugh Deacon would be mainly responsible for that last bit, and if his work as POWERMOVES is any kind of a tell I imagine Austin Buckett has a hand in that too. Adam Guzowski sings dark and free alongside Joshua Beaker who lays the ground for all of these luxuries with some well placed bass.

Chunyin is a step away from Rainbow Chan’s ecstatic pop efforts. It is the darker side of a complicated beast, thundering and low. Her unique feel for challenging composition is all there but with an aim for rhythm based oscillation and synth torture diagrams. it will turn yr head inside out. #nanbowchan

All of these acts are coming together in support of the campaign to save Baby Riss. Over the 2013 Christmas holidays 19 year old Isabelle “Baby” Rissole was diagnosed with a rare life threatening blood disease called aHUS. Since the illness is so rare there has not been a precedent for the government to subsidize the life saving medication needed to treat this illness. Currently it is costing Baby 20,000 dollars a fortnight for her treatment. That’s 600,000 dollars a year. In July a petition urging the Federal Government goes through to cover the medication Eculizumab, which would not just change Baby’s life but also the lives of many other australians struggling with illnesses that would be treated by this miracle drug. Up until July the diligent network of friends, family and artists (Le1f & Cakes Da Killa to name a few) working to support Baby must raise over 200,000 dollars. All of the proceeds from this event will go towards treatment for young Baby Riss.

*Amber – 15th September 1998

Email with TLJ:

S: The Chinese believed that amber was made when tigers died and they became buried in the ground.
I knew a girl called Amber. She had bright orange hair. She was cute. But not as cute as you.

T: wow, how weird – i know (how weirder still – wow, how, and know all end in “ow”!!!!!!) a girl called AMBER SPARKS and her hair is bright orange too!!!!!!!!!!!!! and she’s from Queensland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
baby, how can i open a powerepoint95 presentation in powerpoint4????? is there anyway of opening it as a 97 document, then saving it as a v4 one???????? it’s a far shot, but otherwise, we’re screwed!!!!!!!
can you solve this one mr senior technical support analyst?????
thanks baaaaaaaaaaaaab-beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, tlj

S: LTL (Chinese name)
You’re screwed! I don’t think you can convert to PP4. You may be able to cut each slide and paste into Word. Save the Word Document then go to the PP4 machine open the Word Doc and paste from Word into PP4. Don’t know how well that would work though. Can you get to a PP95/97 machine and save as PP4? You can definitely save as PP4 – but run through the slide show to make sure it works before you do your presentation!!!!
Did the fact that she’s from Queensland deserve all those exclamation marks?
I miss you muchly – I mean real bad.

T: well, i’m glad to see you’re on your feet and at work. yes, we do have powerpoint 97 at the computing sciences building, but these are just the handouts i want to print out, and i’ve got to print 45 copies, but we’ve got a quota of only 50 pages per semester there – how scummy this uni is after all those fees we pay – including a $55 accommodation levy!!!! every student pays, including the people staying at uni accommodation – who also pay rent – so you can imagine how much profit uts makes there!!!!!
So i’m not as screwed as you think i am – the machine we’re using today should have powerpoint 95 – we did specify what version we were using. just need to get the handouts somehow. anyway, probably won’t go to the lecture – or not all of it – going to study mktg instead (didn’t get enough done last night).
anyway, mail just came in from you – i’ll check it now. love ya babe,
