Why, hello there. My name’s Estelle. I’m going to be blogging here throughout MWF. Here are a couple of things about me.
1. I like edifying works of literature and wall decals of deciduous forests.
2. I dance like this.
3. I love books like this, this, this and this.
See you around!

Hello, a nice selection of thises you have there. When you work on the programme for the festival next year, perhaps you could persuade them to include something to do with mathematics or science non-fiction or something like that. Some writers write about mathematics. This was proved in a radio review of The Lifted Brow and the knot theory article it referred to.
See you around the festival,
Slime Jim
Hi Jim
One of guests this year is renowned theoretical physicist Lawrence M. Krauss. He will be appearing in Life, the Universe and Nothing at 8pm on 23 August in the RMIT Capitol Theatre.
Cheers

Cheers Thomas, I must not have perused the programme very well. It sounds good – I will have to go!
thanks again!
nice dancing lady!
Yay. It’s nice to finally put a face to the blog (and radio show). Now I can stalk you at the MWF.
*evil laughter*
Quirky.
I didn’t know there was a show on SYN called Textual Fantasies; i’ll clearly have to organise my Saturdays so that i’m handy to a radio at 1PMs (or is that 1sPM?). It sounds fascinating, based purely on the title.
And hey, your blog; would you call that pink, or fuschia? I’m a little colour-blind, so it looks pink to me.
I’m pretty sure it’s best characterised as ‘baby-mouse-innards pink’. I’m pretty sure that’s what the Pantone people call it in house.
We have Michael Williams as a guest this week, and next week: Wells Tower, US short story writer and Lisa Dempster, local publishing hero and author.
