Lyn Mills’ social event of the week

FLIX in the Stix brought a good crowd to the Eucalyptus Lawn at the Botanic Gardens for another of those evenings where the trudge to the venue requires you to load up with all the comforts required, on this occasion the paraphernalia for a predicted shower.

We’re getting good at it and while the crowd was probably less than anticipated it was a night where the juggernaut that is Flix in the Stix put on a great show for an audience happy to sit back and be entertained with this eclectic mix of flix curated by the lovely Deborah Mailman.

“My Friend the Chocolate Cake” performed as did “Tripod” and the crowd meandered, lined up for the beer, cider, coffee and free popcorn, to go with the pizza and pulled-pork buns or their own tasty gourmet picnic fixin’s.

The reclining was on the now ubiquitous Commbank yellow plastic blow-up back rests or beanbags in the expensive-seats section.

It was a night of exceptional international short films and constant social media communications to find out if the Socceroos won, if the LNP lost and if Serena is still number one. All in the affirmative!
