So I’m not really sure what I am to think of this other than “what a rad idea! But it would never work in reality.” I guess there are just some out-there ideas you’ll never know will take off until you dive in.
This isn’t children growing up too fast; at least not as much as adult-captioned t-shirts or heels for toddlers. Children have parties and dance too, you know. The temporary tattoos are fine too; I remember having one of my first when I was five or six. And I’m still into roses, but I’ve not a real tattoo or joined a biker gang.
Entry prices include healthy snacks for children, a “chill-out” play area, bathrooms kitted out with nappy change tables and a goodie bag and glass of champagne for parents.
Sounds safe and healthy to me and I hope that chill-out area has Pass The Parcel or a ball pit. Or even a corner of teddy bears! And the champagne for the parents is a great addition; if I were the mother of unpredictable young children, I’d take every chance I could for a glass of champagne while knowing my kids were safe.
While I’m positive a children’s event would be the second-last* event I’d like to hold, I don’t think this club is the worst thing adult society has thrown at children in recent times. If anything, I’m sure the kids are having a blast.
*weddings just aren’t my thing.
A few days ago the 2009 dates for the music festival tour Parklife were released by Sydney events company Fuzzy. Hurrah!
So the dates for this winning festival are:
- Saturday 26th September – Brisbane
- Sunday 27th September – Perth
- Saturday 3rd October – Melbourne
- Sunday 4th October – Sydney
- Monday 5th October – Adelaide
You can find more info on each on and their retrospective Facebook event pages (of course) here. As far as the acts are concerned; there has been some comment around the place that Canadian electro duo MSTRKRFT and the UK’s Lady Sovereign will be touring. I’ll report back with an official list when it arises.
Also, if you’re a Sydney student looking to get some hours up on your degree, why not apply for a Parklife Internship? There are roles available in event management, PR, marketing, touring, HR and production. I would apply immediately, but I’m neither in Sydney or a student. Shame! You’d best hurry along though; applications are due this coming Monday, 25th of May.
Lost At E Minor, a spiffy site I have only just come across today for the creative soul is flogging off free double ticket passes to featured shows at the Sydney Festival.
Got nothing better to do January 10th to the 31st? I suggest you head on over for some fantastic entertainment from
- Matthew Herbert Big Band @ The Sydney Opera House
- Camille @ City Recital Hall Angel Place, or
- The Cinematic Orchestra @ City Recital Hall Angel Place
- All Tomorrow’s Parties @ Cockatoo Island
That last one is the main event you’re looking at scoring free tickets to:
