Southbank

In heavily sanitised Southbank, there’s at least a little protest against the opals and other expensive Australian tosh they’re trying to sell tourists. Have hardly noticed Japanser one though. All Chinesers in the shops these days and all Aussies hitting the sauce in the eateries outside. Haven’t seen one graffiti knob yet either.

The Can Opener

This is straying onto the turf of another hyper local I hope to meet, Fitzroyalty, indolentdandy.net/fitzroyalty
But I couldn’t resist. The conversation with the dude who came out:
So you like the Can Opener?
Me: No
Dude: Really? It rammed a whaling ship.
Me: Needs more blood over it.
Dude: Thats not blood. It’s paint. We’re non violent.

For general Melbourne observations and comments.

Vibeless

More empty vibrancy promises seen by Tristan H. Vibrancy is getting very cargo cult-like, as if by saying it enough, the gods will drop a laneway bar on your head.

I hole you!

A worst by Orbea. Altone Park Golf Course, Swan Valley. Moderation may be delayed a few hours in the middle of the day, as I will be on a plane to Melbourne. I’m thinking Southbank will be worst heavy, especially with U2 playing near my hotel. Don’t forget to work on your submissions.

The toilets at the end of Bell Supper Club

A change from the usual Weekend Worstoff. Since today is the Arrondissement (Beaufort Street) Festival, and we have been discussing The Peter Bell Supper Club, here is a shot by Vegan which beautifully takes in the vibrancy as a high tec public toilet also nears completion. It’s almost a Granny Flat to “Enders”. I hope it’s one of those public toilets that plays music, so the bogans inside the Bell End will get snatches of muzak versions of Hey Jude and The Lonely Bull. Might see you down Teh Arrondissement today.

Arrondisement Festival

Tomorrow is the inaugural Arrondissement Festival, AKA Beaufort Street Festival. I will definitely be attending. You may well see Cameron Zombie Cave, Comrade Bento, Bedford Crackpot and many other elites. Take your camera. Promises to be Derridarian. Public transport highly recommended. Or ride your fixie down.

Sidewinder

You’d think that the bottom would have been reached vis a vis concrete cock graffiti, but no. A worst by Pete F, seen at Cowcher way East, Medina. Touch of the George Grosz, Weimar Republic about it. No wait, of course, Otto Dix.

Submissions

Was remiss of me not to give special mention to the Tiki Sunnies and other bar accessories provided by Krazy Kim and Outrage Cohen for Bar Lazy’s opening night. (As well as piss glasses from WAtching.)
Now, have already had some nibbles from several wanting to do guest posts for while I am away. I’m looking for something perhaps a little different. They can be serious if you want. They do not have to have images, but if they do then original please. They can be longer than usual posts. They can be poems. You can promote your website or other activities if you have something worth showing to thousands of people. You cannot libel. It can be off topic.You can be from another country. Email to perthworst@hotmail.com and include a link if you want to use one and your preferred name.
