Helloooo

I'm one of those people that makes a mountain out of a molehill, go round the block just to cross the street kinda guy aaaaand this endeavour of making a fabulous blog for you all hasn't flourished as well as I hoped.

I do not want to give up, however; so here is a collection of all the live gigs and parties (that I could find) going from Thursday to Sunday. If you can't find this post, it's the first post on BigBrisbane.au.

Currently studying Vis Arts at TAFE and no longer have the time to bring you "The Big List" so it will now be mostly live music and gigs.

There is a mailchimp account to make a newsletter of all this stuff but it took 2 days to verify the domain and I got the same feeling you get when you put down a book and you know, deep in your heart, that it won't be picked back up again.

In short, I need some help! If you're interested in doing a little volunteering and helping to bring 'The Big List' to Brisbanians all over, I'd love to hear from you. For one person, it takes about 16-20 hours to write. If others could take some sections and we could bring it all together – that would be most wonderful!

If you'd like more information about me and about the guide, get in touch.

As always, here's me paypal if you'd like to donate to the cause (or you can 'buy me a coffee' on the blog – if you want.)

It's Jazz month? Week? I'm not sure – but there is a whole bunch of Jazzy events for family or for the evening 😉

Get on it!
