Top 10 things On in Brisbane this week 18/11/2018
From Florence to Israel to Italy to Britain to Latin America, this week of worldly cultural delights will truly prove that we, as Australians, should have never ever have produced Kyle Sandilands.
10) AgFutures Innovation and Investment Forum
21st November

9) W A Lee Equity Lecture
21st November
The QUT Faculty of Law invites you to the 18th Annual W A Lee Equity Lecture discussing “Equity in an Age of Uncertainty: Big Data, Confidentiality and Fiduciary Liability”.

6) Beirne Brunch Club Launch
18th November
Beirne Lane presents the Beirne Brunch Club. 3 hours of a bottomless brunch featuring a smorgasbord of brunch delights, beats and live performances, circus artists, naked models and a beauty station.
Because there’s no better time to get your eyebrows plucked than after 2 hours of day drinking, with a stomach gurgling with cider jelly, blue cheese and cream cannoli and some guy’s dick in your face.

5) BHC Itzhak Movie Event
18th November
From Schubert to Strauss, Bach to Brahms, Mozart to…Billy Joel, Itzhak Perlman’s violin playing transcends mere performance to evoke the celebrations and struggles of real life; “praying with the violin”. The premiere of this documentary explores Perlman’s life as a polio survivor landmark musician.
Polio? Nigh-on dead geriatric violinists? Disability? What’s not to love?

3) IMA Annual Party
24th November
Coinciding with The Commute, this year’s annual party celebrating the Institute of Modern Art will draw on the exhibition’s relationships locally and across waters, through song, dance and spoken word.
The night is full of dancing, drinks, food, and all the social credit of going to an art gallery without actually having to think of as many synonyms as you can to describe a work of abstract art consisting of a single dot on a canvas.

2) Polo In The City
24th November
Brisbane will be bringing the old sport of polo into the 20th Century with horse racing, fashion events, games, dressage, drinks, and of course the game of polo itself.
We may be all grown up as a country now, but we’ve still got that little plastic horsey given to us by our austere, violently abusive father that we like to play with sometimes.
