Newsletter | #211 | What's On this Week

Welcome to this week's Melbourne events, exhibitions, sports and community guide for Tuesday to Monday, January 18 to 24.

This week... there's a chance to make good on the New Year again if 2011 hasn't been your cup of tea so far, and all you need to do is trot along to the Victoria Street Lunar Festival and take a leaf from the Chinese calendar as we enter the Year of the Rabbit. If your year's going swellegantly, however, feel free to join others who'll be blowing their own trumpets at the Eltham Town Jazz and Blues Heritage Festival - yes, it's a big name, but it's also a big festival offering two days of music, fun, food and frivolity.

One of the things that I often notice, while scrounging together the comings and goings of Melbourne's finer events, is the growing trend for extended event titles. There's just as much Chimerism (just a fancy word for Heinz 57, which is just a colloquial word for 'mish-mash') with many festivals also blending more and more each year into their programs.

You'll often now find Country Music festivals incorporating Opera, food festivals that feature theatre and outdoor cinema, film festivals that incorporate gourmet dinners, etc and so forth. And more power to them, I say... those unseen elves that cobble together our grand soirees, while us humble patrons are tucked away in bed.

We're all children at heart, so why not hedge our bets and have as much fun as possible by cramming all the goodies together. It's a philosophy I've been more than privy to over the holidays, watching as three kids merge their interests into one, combining Super Mario Brothers from the little chap, Star Wars from the junior miss, and the more morbid world of Zombies from the very bored teen sir.

It's nice that it keeps them entertained, but it does get a tad odd while cooking pasta for dinner only to have a blanket-swaddled girl wander in, calling me a lowly peasant in the gruff, choked tones of The Emperor, only to sweetly break character when she needs me to fix the clothes peg on her gown.

It goes without saying, however, that once the peg's in place I'm a lowly peasant again, struggling with the pasta as The Emperor casts electricity at my legs. It's normally around then that the little chap would run in to smack my butt with his Super Mario Fire Flower, complimented by Ninja Turtle pyjamas while the oldest drifts by, pretending he's just decreased the Zombie Horde with a loud "chick-chick-boom"before asking for something to eat - completely oblivious to my efforts to make pasta, I might add!

I'm sure some of you might understand what I'm on about, most likely those with children (you comic collectors who still live at home don't apply - this tripe is your bread and butter), others are probably frowning at the chaos I've described. And yes, I'm starting to go bananas, and yes the pasta was on the dry side, but in times of war and school holidays you fill the time best as you can.

And like a diva singing at Tamworth, it somehow all works out okay, no matter what's thrown on the stage.
