Framed is ‘an exhibition by purveyors of fine BMX’, and first and foremost we would like to congratulate the curators, Urchin Associates, for putting the words purveyor and BMX in the same sentence.
To be honest, we don’t know much about this under-rated form of transport, but like Nicole Kidman before her role in the 1983 film BMX Bandits, we are willing to learn. What we do know is that BMX’s and their ‘purveyors’ are the antithesis to lycra wearing, oh-so-serious cyclists, and we will support that in any way possible. |

Maybe stationary fetishes are packaged in with puberty. Pens, pencils, clip folders and post-it notes create control in an otherwise turbulent time and, as a result, we begin to form a dependence on them. It is hard to let go of such needs, especially when stores like kikki.K are there, to not only help you control the madness, but to make you look great as well.
With a philosophy that is grounded upon well-being and a keen eye for aesthetics kikki.K is office management for the Mac generation. Unlike what you’ll find at bigger retailers, kikki.K has things that actually match in colours rather than in the dullest shades of grey. It stocks quality paper, picture frames, bags, animal shaped elastic bands, and anything else that may possibly make you a more organized and inspired person. Unleash your inner geek. |

NowNow. It's what your mum would say when you were young and you’d had a run in with the footpath or the foot of your brother. It's what she'd coo as she smooshed Vicks VapoRub into your achy chest. It's also a way of saying tisk tisk without sounding like a wanker.
And, as of today, it's the name of our sparkling new blog NowNow, a kind of evil triplet of the TwoThousand and ThreeThousand sites. It is the Frankenstein emerging from the lightning bolt of a previous software malfunction. Bigger, stronger, more unpredictable and, more than ever, something to keep an eye on.
Although we don’t know exactly what will be included you can certainly expect an offbeat ode to city life -- to music, art, gigs, shop hopping, pop culture, high culture, low life, gossip and everything in between. Good, bad, sublime and godawful.
Information provided on this page might occasionally be useful, but that'll be just a happy side effect, rather than our big intention. Mostly, NowNow will be about what diverts us. What peeves us. What turns us on. What it's like to live, breathe and most importantly, to play in the NowNow. |

ThreeThousand is a weekly snapshot of Melbourne's subculture, fired by email into the loving arms of people who realise that the best things in life are often hard to find. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of writers, stylists, designers, photographers, sub-cultural attaches and a large troupe of monkeys who enjoy working for peanuts.
Without editorial independence ThreeThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it – not because it's paid for.
Advertising Partnerships:
ThreeThousand is funded in full by one advertising partner per issue. We warmly invite advertisers who see the benefit in speaking to Melbourne through a trusted and targeted medium to contact Francesco at frunch@rightanglepublishing.com
Editorial Submissions:
The editorial team at ThreeThousand may know a lot - but they don't know everything. Feel free to send information on events, venues or anything else to chris@threethousand.com.au
Feedback:
Heap praise, sling abuse, ramble inanely – if you have anything to say to us please send it directly to talk@threethousand.com.au
