Bomb Harvest

Over 35 years ago, during the Vietnam War, American bombs rained down on Laos in the 'Secret War', leaving it the most bombed country in history. The deadly legacy of this destruction continues today, with the country still scattered with unexploded ordinance. Bomb Harvest is a documentary film about one volunteer Australian and a team of Lao Trainees working to disarm and destroy the endless bombs still embedded in Laos soil. A film that transports the viewer to another place, a place of both hardship and joy, Bomb Harvest is a highly emotional film that is a must see. I checked it out today and was left feeling touched by the lives of the Lao people, and the children who unwantingly uncover dangerous bombs while "digging for crickets to eat".

Bob Dylan Completed

Just finished the next in my recent collection of musicians. Bob Dylan has just been finished and (hopefully) sold to a buyer of one of the Hendrix works. Not sure what i will work on now, possibly have to do another Hendris for a lady but if not i'd like to do something different... you will just have to wait and see I guess

A Night of Burlesque

Going for a night out at Sydney's 34B burlesque club has been on my 'things i should probably check out one day' list for quite a long time now, and I finally managed to make it down on Saturday for the Belladonnas de lux performance. A mix of acting and striptease, the night was far more humorous than erotic, but that was what we had in mind anyway. I wouldn't say that the show was amazing, but it was definitely entertaining and well worth the measly $15 entry fee. I'm not sure that i will be returning for another night of burlesque anytime soon, but I think i'll have to stick around at the Great Escape music festival next year and catch some of the performers on there...
