I’m sitting here with my gut stuffed with pancakes after watching Ian Svenonious’ Soft Focus, watching a PACKED panel – Passion Projects: Future Folklore and Niche Output. It’s absolutely inspiring to have people like blink, Guy Blackman, Shaun Prescott and Nadia Mizner talking about what they do and why the do it. Totally vibing the practical, functional idealism.

If you’re reading this and you’re in Newcastle – up next, Commercial Viability with a Community Focus with Red Rattler folk, Alexandra Savvides from Cyclic Defrost, Evan Kaldor from FBi Radio and Paul Mason from the Australia Council. Come down!
