Friday night and the lights are low …

An offer of $1 billion couldn’t bring the original members of ABBA back to the stage. Damn, that’s a lot of Swedish meatballs! But the next best thing, Bjorn Again – the  number one ABBA show on the planet – is guaranteeing a good time.

Break out the disco shoes, mood rings and maybe that old karate outfit that you’ve only worn twice and head downtown for some 1970s action. Oh, and the chocolate at the bottom of this sundae is the fact that the fun-loving Old Romantics is playing as support act to the dancing queens.

They’ll be cranking out their comedic retro 80s classics to bring out the big hair or mullet in you. So that’s a good couple of decades in one night, Mama Mia!

WHAT: Bjorn Again
WHERE: The Palms @ Crown
WHEN: Friday, November 18 and Saturday, November 19

DJJ says relax!

 

Relieve yourself, cornflakes, clean shirt, tram pass, work, sandwich, work, home, thawed chicken, TV show where you don’t have to think, floss, bed, phew! I’ve noticed that people seem to be getting busier, except those people who spend all their time telling you how busy they are!

From Friday, November 18 to Sunday, November 20 there’ll be 200 exhibiters at the Melbourne Convention Centre to help you get some “me time”. The MindBodySpirit festival is touring around the country leaving its incensed aroma and positive vibrations all over the convention centre.

So if you’re keen on learning how to not pull all your hair out with stress or if you’re keen to learn how to grow more hair, do yourself a favour and get on down to the festival, or get a hat like Molly Meldrum!

WHAT: MindBodySpirit Festival
WHERE: Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre
WHEN: Friday, November 18 to Sunday, November 20

Meet the winemaker

 

Going out Thursday night is just so sneaky isn’t it, and drinking on a Thursday night just makes it even more fun! Martin Krajewski from Chateau de Sours is taking wine buffs on a magical rosé tour.

Now I just know rosé as the dancing juice that can’t decide whether it’s white or red wine but I’m guessing there’s a bit more to it.

Throw in a slow-roast pork roll (I’m currently drooling on my keyboard thinking of the one I had there a few weeks ago) and add some celebrity chefs from the Melbourne Storm behind the spit and you’ve got yourself a not-so-shabby school night. Enjoy, but you can’t blame me come Friday morning!
