Roller derby tix

As alluded to here and here, there is some roller derby action coming up!



Conveniently it is at the Horden right after the AFL (below) so couldn't be easier.

Tix are $20, doors open at 5.30 pm, 7th August.

I'll be buying tickets probably this weekend so let me know if you're in.

Iron Designer

This event sounds fun -- combining two of my favourite things: Iron Chef (love that show) and design.



IRON DESIGNER
6 August, Friday, 6pm for 6.30pm - 9.30pm
Powerhouse Museum, Coles Theatre and Foyer
Cost: $30 adults / $26 powerhouse members or students or groups of 8 or more.

With a nod to the legendary Japanese cooking show, Iron Designer introduces a cast of design disciples who battle head-to-head on stage for the coveted crown. This live, action-packed event reveals the intricate thoughts and visual approach of architects and designers.

In this live, stage event hosted by ABC media presenter Robbie Buck, a cast of designers go head-to-head to create a piece of work in the space of 20 minutes. Teams from design outfits including: Frost Design, Digital Eskimo, Blue Sky Design Group, Sixty40, 4Design, PIDCOCK Architecture + Sustainablity, UTS School of Design and Tribe Studio will compete for the coveted crown.

Iron Designer reveals the way designers think and how they translate that thought process into something tangible. The night is run in two rounds with four teams competing per round. The winners of each round then play off for the Iron Designer crown as the night’s thrilling grand final. Iron Designer is produced by Melbourne’s Studio Binocular.

Who's in?

There are also heaps of other great events on as part of the annual SYDNEY DESIGN FESTIVAL.

As requested by Jenny and Carmel

Who: Swans v Hawks
What: A possible entrée to Roller Derby
Where: SCG
When: Saturday August 7 at 2:10pm (all done in time for Roller Derby next door at the Hordern.)
Why: Carmel’s new scarf needs its cherry popped
Also why: This’ll be the fourth to last game of the 2010 season but with Swans sitting at 6th on the table, some finals might be in store! Hawthorn are currently in 7th and last time they played each other (back in May), though they stayed neck and neck through all 4 quarters, Hawthorn were up 2 points by the final siren.
How: Lemme know if you're keen
How much: $20
