Hey, did you notice? Melbourne's art scene has been exploding and expanding. New galleries, artists, styles. Fresh meat and fresh grills on which to cook it. The Narrows is a new space on Flinders Lane that promises to shake up the sometimes dour exhibits on offer on the street. Correct: always dour.
The concept is simply to intersperse artist-initiated exhibits occasionally interspersed with graphic design shows. Which, for those of you who've just tuned in, is arts flashy sequel.
The opening exhibit features Hamish Carr, Anna Ephraim, Susan Jacobs, Scott Miles and Saffron Newey, showing off the gallery's design and already delivers on the gallery's promise to shake it, shake it, shake it like a polaroid picture. Don't be surprised if The Narrows becomes part of city art crawls by the end of the year. |

It’s like SneakerFreaker for your chest. Even if your T-shirt obsession doesn’t rival that of the Threadless gang, the first issue of T – The Journal of T-Shirt Culture is an infectious archive of tee industry obsessives from Melbourne to LA.
Mixing old boys Paul Frank and Stussy, with local kids Nique and Schwipe, and online players Threadless and Monday to Friday; the niche publication positions the common T-shirt as a modern canvas of printed, stencilled, graphic and hand-drawn art.
With T-shirts for the thinking person, the evil person and the cute person, even the most blasé person will find something that suits their taste. |

When ThreeThousand was hungover and excited about YumCha last week, we didn’t expect so many of you to be hungover and excited with us.
Over the past seven days we’ve been frequently channelling Homer Simpson as suggestions of meaty sui mai, prawn and chive dim sum, and dumplings stuffed with everything from yam to spinach have flown to our inbox with a scrumptious ‘ping’.
To everyone who sent suggestions, we thank you whole-heartedly and promise to test your tips every weekend for the next two months. Results are below, and as promised, we’ve even made you a pie chart.
The results…
Most popular city: Shark Fin Inn, 50 Lt Bourke St

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
