7pm 23 Dec, 2006 Clayexpression 's Cindy Koh and two students dragged their potting wheel and high spirits over to Indie Scene Cafe tonight to demo to a small group of people the intricate art of potting. Most would blatantly murmur 'Ghost' and hum the song from that hit movie. I did. Then there was Frank the t-shirt designer who so kindly offered to come demo to us how silk screen is done. We'll post the pictures soon. Meanwhile, thanks to all who attended! With the carollers singing outside, it was quite surreal watching Cindy carve out large bosomed ladies in yoga positions while Frank stamped butterflies on his tees.

Launch of IYARI 7.30pm Friday, 22 December Sharanya Manivannan's Launch of IYARI. Followed by open mic for singer songwriters & poets. Free entrance. Purchase of drink appreciated. View reviews on the launch: A room full of poets, parents and pumpkins who quickly scurried away soon after the evening ended. It was lovely. Pizzas from Piccolo's L'Opera were lovely. The salmon on a bed of crusty flour. Some readings were 'soft' some were 'loud'. But I'd bet most of us returned home that night with Sharanya's 'You bring out the Sri Lankan in me...' reverberating at the bottom of our guts. How amazing this world is when a group of people simply get together to talk. Tonight, give thanks to the efforts of one lady of 21 years, in her black sari with gold trimmings (quite like her chapbook design). Thanks to all who attended. We must meet more! Regards, Jaz Bibliobibuli , Faridah Manaf

Hello there! It's nearing the end of the year and it's time to look into that little book of 'to-dos' and do some spring cleaning! Well, in case you haven't heard, we've opened up an 'impromtu' cafe at Piccolo Galleria in Bukit Bintang just behind L'Opera restaurant and beside Planet Hollywood. As this cafe will only have a very short shelf life, there will be a flurry of events from now until the end of the year. We only have the space courtesy of Piccolo Galleria Sdn Bhd until 2 Jan 07. Afterwhich the entire block will be re-gutted and converted into The Piccolo Hotel. 7pm, Friday 8 December Open Mic with Ariff Akhir and The SOFA SESSIONS. We've had our air-con technician pop by to play a coupla songs, Fikri the famed Bodega singing waiter, a boy named Ninja who plays the harmonica and even Ritchie Castro - a very talented performer who basically 'stumbled' upon the cafe upon his arrival. Since then, Ritchie has been busy on the circui...
