SAVE FBi THE FINAL FLING
The last FBi 94.5 fundraiser for June hit the Metro again last saturday night, book-ending the month long series of shows.
Dappled Cities, Palace Of Fire, Midnight Juggernauts, Bluejuice, and a ton of other bands and DJs played; everyone danced and sang and had a fantastic time, all in the name of pulling the station out of the fires of debt. They still need help though, so sign up and become a supporter. Do it!

Abstract Sweetness
These are some macro shots that I took last weekend at my final ACP Lighting class – something a bit different to the hastily-snapped, restaurant-based food photos that I usually do.
The cakes are from the excellent Adriano Zumbo patisserie in Balmain.
Smart Light Sydney
This weekend, I finally made it down to The Rocks to check out the Smart Light Sydney exhibition, on its last night. Despite the freezing weather, there was a terrific atmosphere with lots of kids, families, and photographers grabbing their last chance to snap the displays.
Save FBi – Spunk Presents Another Night On Earth
Last monday evening, Sydney radio station FBi 94.5 kicked off the first of a month-long series of fundraiser gigs as part of their current campaign to pull themselves out of financial crisis and stay on the air.
Spunk‘s Another Night On Earth was a non-stop barrage of great music, the stellar lineup featuring the likes of Sarah Blasko, Holly Throsby, New Buffalo, Jack Ladder, Firekites, Sherlock’s Daughter, The Middle East and more.
There are plenty more FBi fundraiser gigs to come over the next month or so – well worth checking out if you’re a music fan, and someone who likes having decent radio to listen to. You can check out the full roster here.
Also, if you’re feeling generous, you can also donate to FBi directly here. Help keep Sydney’s best independent community-based radio station on air.

Sydney Tweed Ride
Early sunday morning, a group of dapper ladies and gents congregated down at Town Hall in the Sydney CBD for the Sydney Cyclist Tweed Ride. It was Sydney’s first crack at the event, which has also been popular in London, Chicago and San Francisco.
Dressed in their finery, the participants wound their way through the Rocks up to Observatory Hill, over to the Domain, eventually finishing up in Centennial Park.
Clipper Cafe
Here are a few photos I took while visiting Clipper Cafe in Glebe, recently. I’ve only eaten there once, but the experience was so good it was enough to shoot the place right up into my top five favourite Sydney breakfast joints (possibly even surpassing the previously unbeatable Ruby’s Diner).
Tasty, familiar breakfast food with a unique twist; a breezy, unpretentious atmosphere and a lovely waitress (Helena, pictured below) – all boxes ticked.
