Yesterday I tried to be a good Inner West local by exploring what the neighbourhood has to offer. I saw this event from @cherry__rype , so I arrived at 2.15 pm.
This was my first time at Lazy Thinking. It’s located in Dulwich Hill and only a six minute drive from my home. The artist selections yesterday were curated by @aeddancc . I found so many talented local heroes that I hadn’t seen before. I think you should definitely come to this venue next time to see what the locals have to offer.
As usual, I talked with everyone at the venue as much as I could. I was in the mood, as always lol. Hope you enjoy my adventure so far.

I literally went out last night because I got bored just sitting at home collecting dust lol. Then I saw the event on IG, so why the f**k not go out at that point, even though I didn’t know anyone. I like the idea of taking a deep dive into the unknown.
When I arrived at @sneakypossumbar , the first person I noticed was @tawny.myers . I swear I’d seen her playing bass for @_katemoth at the Push Mag Issue 07 launch. That became my conversation starter: “I think I saw you playing bass at the Push Mag launch!”
I also talked with @juice.tain , quite a long conversation actually. We agreed that finding connection requires courage, especially in a new environment.
Suddenly, @migumind came up to me. He said he really appreciated that I stuck around until the event was finished. Of course I did. I love being part of the community. Why not.
He also said he wants to do more of these events because he loves the idea of gathering people in a speakeasy environment.
There was one person who looked very familiar, but I wasn’t sure who it was. When I talked to @setwun , I asked him why she looked so familiar. Turns out it was @casually.ciara . I’ve seen her play a few sets at @club77sydney . I literally told her, her playlist is ruthless, and I love it.

I met Sasha at the Push Magazine Issue 07 launch the week before. I was doing my usual on-the-spot cool baby curation, trying in my head at least to channel a bit of Bill Cunningham (RIP I love you man).
When I later checked her feed, I realised she is a painter, and a serious one at that. At first glance, her work echoes Edward Hopper’s (Nighthawks) and Grant Wood’s (American Gothic), but it does not take long to see that what she is doing is distinctly her own. The references dissolve quickly, leaving something unmistakably Sasha Hart.
She was born and raised in Lismore, on the Far North Coast of NSW, and moved to Sydney a few years ago. We found some common ground straight away. Both of us struggled to find a real connection when we first arrived in the city. We agreed that time does most of the heavy lifting eventually, quietly shaping where you land and who you become.
This was also my first time interviewing a painter, so consider this a mutual exercise in curiosity. Expect a bit of yapping from both of us.

Went to the Push Magazine issue 07 launch for the drinks, the printed mag (because I didn’t have one yet), and the vibes. Ended up talking to half the venue because, apparently, I’m a yapper lol. I kept telling people they looked nice BECAUSE THEY ACTUALLY DID.
Also snapped a few portraits because everyone’s drip was sick.
Ran into @kayqra again after a while. She said I’m very extroverted. Maybe she’s right lol.
