In what is probably my last festival gig for the year, I’m going to be speaking at the Brimbank Literary Festival. This festival goes from 13-24 September and it has some good events in the program. The ones that especially caught my eye: Ana Kokkinos featuring in the opening event and a narrative in comics workshop.
(In case you don’t know, Brimbank is in the west of Melbourne, close to where my old stomping ground was before I went all uber-inner-city. Think Sunshine, Sydenham, St Albans, etc.)
Here are the details of my gig:
Wednesday 22 September 2010
6.30pm-7.30pm

At one of my events for the Sydney Writers Festival this year, I participated in an interview that was structured around a bunch of songs I chose that were of significance to me and my work. The beginning of each song was played, and then Matt Levinson (the interviewer) and I discussed its relevance to my life and fiction. I never got to play and talk about all of the songs at that event… so I’m thinking that I’ll do the full set at my talk (minus the interviewer). Yes, it’ll be me DJing. On the wheels of steel. Keeping it real. Or maybe just pressing “Play” and “Stop” on a portable CD player. Anyway, it should be a fun way to round out my festival participation for the year so feel free to come along for some cock-rocking good fun.
