February Events

Interesting Things happening this month (well ok, two weeks)

I'm planning to include this every month so comment and let me know if there are any kinds of events you'd like to see on here and if there's anything on that you think I'd be interested in.

Movie events

Vodafone are sponsoring free movies at Southbank on Wednesday Nights at 7:30pm this month. They have the proviso that the films may change at the last minute but we're still going along for Starsky and Hutch on the 9th. Hellboy is playing on the 16th and 50 Dates on the 23rd, unfortunately we're on holidays for the 16th :)

Bailey's Moonlight Cinema continues to run at the city botanic gardens until the 20th. Tickets are Adults $14.50 / Students $11.50 (Cheaper prepurchased online) and gates open at 6 / movies start at sundown.

Dendy are showing a bollywood festival from 17th - 23rd February. Tickets are Adult $13 / Conc $10 (with a whole pile of festival ticket offerings as well).

Music

Thurs 17th has David Byrne (ex Talking Heads) supported by Architects in Helsinki at the Brisbane convention centre - could be interesting and expensive :)

Fri 25th has the reformed The Doors - most interesting 'cause they're being helmed by Ian Astbury ex-The Cult - it amuses me

And because you might want the lead time to get tickets: Green Day supported by A Simple Plan are playing BCC on the 7th March :) Violent Femmes are at the Arena March 19th

Clubs
Go check Hellbane as a regular darkwave events listing thing.

Strange says it's on the last saturday of every month at the alliance, but it has no date up for february !?!?

Faith is every friday night at the arena - we had a lot of fun, they play a broad range of music and the venue rocks. As soon as I'm not working and therefore not exhausted on a Friday, will be going again. And would love it if they'd get a website *grins*.

Morticias is 5th March at Jubilee.

Chinese New Year, Wednesday 9th February, Year of the Rooster

The Chinatown Mall in the valley is having dragon dances and fireworks every night from Tues - Sun at 7:00pm . Saturday is just packed with things going on.

Sunday at Southbank dragon boats are going to be racing up and down the river - I'm looking forward to that!

The Livewire bar(Elizabeth St side) in the Treasury Casino is showing free movies for the Chinese Year on Tuesdays from 7pm : 8/2 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - 15/2 Shanghai Noon - 22/2 Accidental Spy

Random

How to Make a Monster - QLD Museum - Now until April 25 - see how special effects are done. Adults $8/Conc $6
