* Express Media are a special bunch of people who publish the works of young writers, poets, cartoonists and photographers in their Voiceworks magazine. On Sunday they launch the newest edition at a reading featuring David Bridie and Kieran Carroll at the Lounge (243 Swanston Walk, city, 2pm). There will also be an open reading taped by
Triple J. The first five people and their partners to walk through the door with a clipping of this paragraph get in free.
* RMIT's student union is a healthy little campus hotbed of the arts, and this year they've got right behind film in their popular series 360 FliX. On Monday night see the next installment of Australian film showcase 360 FliX - Female Trouble, seven films by seven Melbourne-based female directors (6pm, Kaleide RMIT Union Theatre, 360 Swanston Walk, city, $4.50/$6.50, no bookings necessary). To win one of three double passes, call 9925 3086, between 10 and 10.15am today.
* She's a powerhouse vocalist and a funny gal to boot. Christine Sullivan returns - with special guests The Lovers - to The Continental on Wednesday before bunking down in the studio to record her next album. To win one of five free double passes call 9645 7200 between 11 and 11.10am today.
* A place in the Sydney Olympics Theatresports tournament is up for grabs and the pressure is on for players to hone their skills and prove their worth in the 1998 Melbourne premiership season. If you want to watch silly people making complete fools of themselves, call 9534 7907 for a double pass to Sunday's performance at the Universal Theatre (Victoria Street, Fitzroy, 7.30pm).
* They promise to fuse the color of jazz ballet, the movement of rock opera and the stench of a taxi driver's armpit. Crud - Triple M night-time perversions Julian Schiller and Tony Moclair - are emerging from the radio studio to perform four rare live shows at Collingwood's Prince Patrick Hotel, tonight and tomorrow night and 3 and 4 July. Tickets at the door and from Ticketek, $18. The boys sold out shows in 1995 and 1996 on the back of their success at 3RRR, and tickets are sure to go quickly this time. To win one of five double passes, call 9537 1744 between 10 and 10.30am today.
