National Gallery of Victoria, Palace Theater, The Prince of Whales, Degraves St. & Cathedral Arcade.

Recently I went to see an Art Deco Exhibition at the Nation Gallery of Victoria.  This was first time I had been inside the museum even though I live practically next door.... its a beautiful space, I went on a wednesday night, which is their "after dark" and student night. I had a great time with the girls and seeing all the extraordinary design from the 1920s.

 You weren't permitted to take pictures inside, but of course I couldn't

 resist ;)

Last weekend I went to see a band, PNAU, at the Palace Theater in the city.  The venue was amazing and the show was really good, so incredibly loud that my ears were ringing a solid 24 hours afterward. 

The ceiling and balconies in the Palace, the disco ball is gigantic. 

Last evening I went to a show at The Prince of Whales which is a venue in St. Kilda, a suburb of Melbourne, by the water.  The show was really fun, we saw Ladyhawke and Van She, I really liked how they had DJs mixing before, in between the bands, and after the sets, keeps the party going :) Jacqui and Liz came over to my apartment before the show, my first visitors except for Neal and Pete... we had a great time.   

Another cool spot that I have been frequenting is Degraves Street and the Cathedral Arcades, which are right by Flinders Street Station but easy to overlook.  

As you can see I have been busy and am already more familiar with the city than most of my coworkers, haha.
