The weather is glorious, the smiles are wide, and October is bringing us fun, frivolity and a seemingly endless parade of amazing things!

Let’s get into it, shall we?
Food Glorious Food

Would you like some bagels, beers and beats? Head on down to the Helm Bar October 5th.

Have a marvellous excuse to drink wine on the Monday of the long weekend and enjoy a love affair with Pinot at Pinotpalooza at Carriageworks on October 7th.

Talk about the future of food and discover some awesome foodies and food events in the process when Think Act Change presents ‘The Future of Food’ on October 8th.

And Good Food Month is on in Sydney and it is absolutely unreal. Choose form chef events, family friendly, classes and a whole lot more. It has to be the best way to taste your way around Sydney in spring.
Unmissable creativity

The genius of the Siren Theatre Company is distilled in the amazing tale of Penelope by Enda Walsh. Held at the Tapp Gallery in Darlinghurst, this work by director Kate Gaul gained rave reviews from both fans of theatre and the very hard to impress theatre making public. It’s in its last week. Go now before you miss out.

Climb inside the atmosphere of Sydney post rockers Marosi di Buriana as they draw you into a world made for the darkest cinema of the mind. This 4 piece outfit has an amazing following for the little curious kittens in online worlds such as Stereomood for their haunted dreamscapes, inky violet sounds with over 2000 fans in Europe and USA. Join them for a rare show at the Agincourt Hotel, Broadway, October 23rd.

Love music? Remember sneaking a few drinks in the 90′s? Relive the sound you grew up with when you see Screamfeeder, Smudge and the BREEDERS(!) at the Annandale Hotel! Yep- the bands that everyone had a crush on are back playing with The Majestic Horses and Sounds Like Sunset. We’ve got our gym boots on and ironed our flannies, have you?

Oh, and for creative bar happiness, head to Newtown and check out the Japanese themed Tokyo Sing Song. It’s designed to make you feel like your turning Japanese. Opens mid October on King st.

You can see photo exhibition Boys with Guns at Gallery 2010 and ponder why so much of young male play is tied up in one of the scariest tools in the world.

And if you are a maker, why not register to be in the first ever Sydney Mini Makers Faire in November? Applications close October 18th.
