Wednesday 5th – 12th July
Regardless of whether you have a Pokie problem or not, life is a gamble. There is a constant risk of loss, yet undoubtedly, the biggest loss comes in the form of wasting your time. Time, unlike hair, is a thing that you can never get back; in fact, every second you live is like the laser-removal of your very being.
So rather than waste your time with the bad, ThreeThousand Issue 062 points you in the direction of things that will enrich, rather the ruin your life. We feature the non-architectural exhibition expresso < expressway from architects Denton Corker Marshall and Michael Winterbottom’s new film Tristram Shandy: A Cock & Bull Story. We help you find peace of mind in Midlake’s The Trials of Van Occupanther and provide some highlights from the Melbourne Design Festival’s exciting program like the Ready Made Market. |

You could have a lot to lose this week, but you won’t find it here.
ThreeThousand Issue 062 – a safe bet

It’s functional, it’s Swedish born and it’s not Ikea. kikki.K does office in style, without resorting to the mundane mass of Officeworks.
If, like us, your virtual office rotates between a café, the pub and the studio – you probably (yes like us) have work-related crap sprawled from here to Heathcote. Enter kikki.K. The label’s functional office pieces are designed to look better than Sven Goran Eriksson and withstand everything from tram grease to coffee stains, so you can feel organised but look stylish in the process.
While they’ve been hidden away in back alley Melbourne Central for the past few years, kikki.K has just christened a temporary pop-up shop in the heart of Bourke St – it’s decked out Scandinavian style (clean), and could disappear at any time, so get in quick. |

We could say that ‘size doesn’t matter’, we could also say that ‘good things come in small packages’, but we would rather throw away the clichés and show you first hand how to squeeze over 60 designers into a space the size of a toilet block.
Nestled just over Swanston on the fittingly titled Little Collins St, Little Salon is a pint-sized space packed with a plethora of accessories, streetwear and bits for the home.
Both little and crafty, the store is a haven to Mingus’s critter pins, knitting needle rings by Lisa Kearns, not to mention a huge range of fairytale-inspired ‘love’ necklaces, alphabet hair pins and even snug mittens by store owner Geneine Honey. Pair with an Elkha tailored wool jacket or Monk House Parisian tee and you’re all wrapped up in a nice little package. |

The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman by Laurence Stern, (upon which Tristram Shandy: A Cock & Bull Story is based) is a ‘post modern book written before there was any modernism to be post about’.
From an 18th century gentleman to a contemporary movie star, Tristram Shandy skilfully weaves ideas of storytelling and conceit, and with Coogan’s self-deprecating honest humour delivers its punch lines from point-blank range.
Directed by Michael Winterbottom (24 Hour Party People) and starring Steve Coogan (24 Hour Party People, Around the World in 80 Days), Tristram Shandy is a film that is so over the top and self-referential in its humour that it shouldn’t work. However, through clever casting, sharp wit, and blatant stupidity, it has managed to side-step the banana peels of a novel that was said to be impossible to adapt. |

Unlike ready-to-wear, which parades bizarre designs that are never really that wearable, The Melbourne Design Festival’s Ready Made Market features a huge range of wearable (and functional) pieces by local designers citywide.
Shop, chat and soak in the inspiring energy and crazy ideas of the design-obsessed, from students and emerging designers, to professional businesses. This year fashion favourites Alice Euphemia, paper people PaperPoint, Studio Round and lighting designer Geoffrey Mance take part. And, unlike visiting the Vic Markets with a Sunday hangover there are no fish merchants to make you want to vomit on your shoes.

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
