Tango3: Love and Melbourne

For Tango3, Adam Possamaï helped me write an arts grant submission to the City of Melbourne, which was successful. The money was used to pay the contributors for their work.  This issue was edited by myself, Adam and Jo Waite.

The Backword featured a quote from Marcel Proust, and the book was launched at the then-new 'double o' bar, down one of Melbourne's laneway labyrinths.  The launch was sponsored by Baitz in the form of fizzy colourful 'bottled cocktails', now referred to as 'alco-pops', and by the end of the night everyone's teeth were stained blue.

In this issue

Trams, Prahran, the Punter's Club, beer, public sculpture, coffee, Pablo Neruda, karate, sneezes and a knife.
