People who move to the inner-city and complain about noise from pubs that have been there for 100+ years are a pet hate of mine. Great that the Sando is still going with the venue, but absurd that we were close to losing it.

Something special...
Word in Hand plays host to a massively chewy treat when spoken word legend Tug Dumbly fires up the Barbie to unleash his Banjo Paterson award winning epic ode to meat Barbeque Bill and the Roadkill Café.
Tug’s tale pits the locals of a sleepy north coast hamlet famed for its magnificent meat up against a horde of nefarious New Age invaders, whose plans for remodeling the town include the removal of the famed Big Steak, as well as stifling the trade of the town’s most celebrated son Barbeque Bill – it’s cleavers at ten paces!!

Introducing Newtown What's On
I'm hoping to start a regular what's on guide to Newtown on this site. Ideally posting every Wednesday in time for the (extended) weekend, covering one off concerts as well as regular events, art exhibitions, book shop readings e.t.c.
In order for this to work I'm going to need help from you; especially if you own or run a venue or know someone who does. If you have a weekly mailing list, please add the mayor to your list. If not, please email me early in the week with what events you're running during the week.
And I'll be fairly generous with my definition of Newtown - Enmore and Erko definitely rate, Marrickville depending on my mood; Surry Hills and the CBD - no chance !
My email address is mayorofnewtown 'at' gmail.com.
Have a look at a skeleton what's on here. Looking forward to some feedback.
