Concrete Playground

While it is possible that Even Books might be wrong about this being a 'first', they've definitely gotten everything else right. This well-timed weekend extravaganza focuses on the essential element in all writing: the reader.

Friday kicks off with a loving home, in the Clubhouse at Performance Space, for your unpublished creative genius. In the tradition of Richard Brautigan’s The Abortion, all sketches, notes and stains are accepted into the Library of Unwritten Books, where tequila will also play a role in getting the creative juices flowing. Saturday night shifts into film format, as FBi host and Playground-writer Kate Jinx curates an evening of flicks, pillows and BYO popcorn to be remembered, in the cosy confines of CuriousWorks.

On Sunday, readers reclaim the streets of Redfern in a wandering read-a-thon. Bring along plenty of pillows, blankets and books — this could be a long ride. Ongoing features include another killer Even Books zine and reader installations, to be published on the blog. Write, read and get involved!
