MIKE FIELDING AKA NABOO @ VILLA NIGHTCLUB, SUNDAY MAY 30

Dear Cool Perth Nights,

The following letter was intercepted on 31/05/10 by postal administration due to a large quantity of sequins attached to its envelope packaging being deemed potentially hazardous.


Following close inspection the item was found not to be a threat; however, we elected to forward you this facsimile as it appears to detail what may potentially be considered a ‘Cool Perth Night.’ Our experts were unable to quite make sense of it – perhaps you will have better luck.


Regards,

Philip P. Philately,

Media Stunt Gone TERRIFYINGLY Wrong?

So howzabout this crazy Israeli attack on the aid flotilla huh? Kinda heralds the end of the world a little bit huh - or at least the continuation of where it’s really at.

I have always been confused about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, knowing only that both sides consider Jerusalem to be their holy land, and want it for themselves. In the past I've attempted to figure out just what the hell is going on over there, but I couldn't see past both sides getting really angry at each other, with the Israelis having nuclear weapons to back up their aggression if it came down to it.

Today I spoke to a friend who is doing a Middle East Politics unit at Deakin Uni, and asked for some perspective on the whole thing. She explained that it is an extremely complicated, long running conflict, and for a beginner like myself, it's impossible to know where to start. I didn't get much solid information, only a rant that I will try my best to summarise

Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens)

June 10

The reclusive Yusuf Islam, who now simply goes by the name Yusuf, last toured Australia in 1974.

The legendary singer/songwriter will perform in Perth at Challenge Stadium on June 10.

As Cat Stevens, he sold millions of records in the early 1970s, fuelled by such classics as Peace Train, (Remember the Days of the) Old School Yard, Where Do the Children Play?, Father & Son, First Cut is the Deepest, Wild World, Moonshadow and Morning Has Broken.

After converting to Islam, Yusuf gave up music at the end of the '70s. He reappeared at a benefit concert in Sarajevo in 1997, and has since slowly become more active, recording a children's album, performing at Nelson Mandela's 46664 concert in 2003, and then releasing a song to raise funds after the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami.

The Myth of Julian Rose - “The haunting begins June 9…”

The Blue Room Theatre

Mondo Di Corpo and The Blue Room presents the world premiere of new Western Australian work The Myth Of Julian Rose at The Blue Room Studio from 8 – 26 June 2010 as part of The Blue Room Theatre’s 21st birthday season.

Marisa Garreffa returns to the Blue Room to direct Daniel Kershaw’s debut work following the success of multiple award-winning Motortown in 2008 (Equity Nomination - Best Director 2008, Blue Room Awards - Best Production 2008).

Julian, is a man with a disturbing past that surfaces with a vengeance when a Minotaur begins to stalk his family. The Myth Of Julian Rose boldly portraits the effect of maternal child abuse and the fallout of suppressed trauma. Giving voice to the unspeakable, the resulting story is emotive, tragic and chilling.

“The play addresses the fallout of suppressed memory and challenges the notion of confession as a means of healing. If memories are not confronted, they will find a voice elsewhere, in this case, a ten-foot tall Minotaur” – Marisa Garreffa

Starring James Helm, Glenn Hall, Jo Morris and Sarah Nelson with live music and sounds by Tristen Parr, expect a (un)healthy dose of magic realism and contemporary performance infused with circus art in this powerful collision of genre.

Produced by Christina Yiannakis l Visual World created by Karen Cook, Ami McDonald, Bobbi Jo Divitini, Rosie Martin and Colleen Sutherland l Artwork by Deon Schafer

The Blue Room Theatre
June 9-26. Tues-Sat 8.30pm
Preview Tuesday 8th June - $15 tickets.
