If you are wondering what the *%*$& happened to the Dr Sketchy Brisbane Myspace..
Without warning, without reason, and without any reply to our many many many emails, Myspace have deleted our profile.
Yes this is bad - but at Dr Sketchy's we like to see the silver lining in the cloud.. so instead of bitching and moaning about it (though we do reserve the right to mutter horrible horrible swearwords into our cider) we have instead done the following:
We've got our own domain!! www.drsketchybrisbane.com - it links back to our LJ community (which will in the very near future get a SWANKY facelift! Whoo hoooo!)
We ALSO have our very own Flickr group - so you can now upload your sketches etc and we can see them all.. LOVELY!!
In more exciting news.. We have taken note of everyone's feedback, and have taken on board the advice that a room with a BAR would be ideal, and preferably one without lots of stairs to climb.. well, beloved Art Monkeys - your wish is our command! And from Wed 19th September we will be running Dr Sketchys in our own room at the Elephant and Wheelbarrow Hotel in the Valley. We think this will make an AWESOME new venue for Dr Sketchys - with 25+ kinds of beer on tap (and my favourite, Bulmers Cider) along with a range of other food and beverages right there in the room! Our Sat afternoon sessions will be on hold for now until we find an equally awesome venue for the weekend gigs. (Anyone that owns a licensed cafe/bar/space who wants us to visit on the weekends, let us know!!))
We are also running a little competition where you can win free tickets, art stuff and other fabulous prizes - and all you have to do to enter is send us an email completing the following sentence in 25 words or less "I love being an Art Monkey because......" Most amusing/thoughtful/astonishing/worthy answers will win! :-) Feel free to forward the comp to whomever you wish.
We now also have our very own section of the official Dr Sketchy's Bulletin Board! Yes, Brisbane is spelled wrong.. but that doesn't stop us and our shenanigans, oh no!!
If you know anyone else out there who would love to hear about all of this, please do encourage them to email us at drsketchybrisbane@gmail.com so that I can add them to the mailing list, and get them to friend themselves to the Livejournal. All the cool kids are doing it!! www.drsketchybrisbane.com
