OUT is a guide to gigs, parties, studio sales and other events in Perth. It's what tourist brochures call nightlife but to us it is simply life and so we also include events that refuse to be categorised. We believe that good, clean fun is a contradiction, that a bottle of beer should never cost $10, and that a queue is our cue to leave, or at least lie about being on the doorlist.

I like to play Mind Boggle. Mind Boggle is just like regular Boggle only the Boggle board is the mental playground inhabited by you and your BFF. One says a word, like ‘start', and then you go back and forth from there like, ‘tart', ‘star', ‘tramp', ‘stamp', and so on.

Whoever said a picture speaks a thousand words never saw the glut of photos on FB that seem to say "I'm hellz drunk right now, wooooooo!" With all this skankiness about, it's sometimes easy to forget that photography is an art form. The beauty and skill on show at the IRIS Awards is the perfect antidote for any photographic cynicism resulting from a long session of ‘face-stalking'.

Minute 36 (+Schvendes, Hayley Beth, Davey Craddock)

How much:
$10
The best thing I ever saw was Amanda Palmer sticking her hand in the toilet bowl on a Dresden Dolls documentary. I can't remember why she did it now but, since then, Girl Anachronism has always featured on any one of my angry chick-themed play lists. Minute 36 aren't chicks and I'm not sure if they're angry but they certainly share a penchant for sidewinding, off key rhythms, not to mention the chick on the album cover bearing an uncanny resemblance to Palmer - JK

Feast Your Eyes Arts Festival
Where:
Fremantle Arts Centre, 1 Finnerty Street, Fremantle
When:
Sat Sep 4, 6pm
How much:
$5 from Heatseeker /$10 door
I once yelled at an ex for carelessly tossing a chewy wrapper out his car window. Littering is not sexy. Give me a boy who recycles. Revamp, reuse, recycle is the theme of Feast Your Eyes, a night for unveiling some superb art, music, and showing off the ridiculous talent of fellow Perthites.

WA and Cali are tight. I mean we've got so much in common; sunny weather, East Coast rivalry, ex-action star leader... wait a second. Anyway, given our shared outlook it's only right that the 150th anniversary of California's establishment as a state should be celebrated by Cali's West Coast (some would say Best Coast) compatriots Down Under.
