However, despite our best intentions, in our endless wandering and moans of ‘what should we do?’, desperate, we end up on a mate’s couch doing a Game Of Thrones marathon with a hand in a bucket of chicken. Why not change it up with the Changing Lanes festival? Now in its second year, the fest draws together the best local talent across music, art and fashion. This year the hit list includes PVT, Gareth Liddiard, Papa Vs Pretty, The Vasco Era, Beni, The Last Kinection, Oscar + Martin, and Juggernaut DJs, plus artists Numskull, Beastman, Ears, Houl and loads more. The festival is also hopping over from last year's Newtown to Devonshire Street in Surry Hills, meaning that it's a mere skip from Central Station - no excuses now! Afterwards, roll along to the official after party at The Standard and kick on into the night with Pluto Jonze, Myth and Tropics, Alison Wonderland and others. Packed to the hilt with stimulation of all sorts, it’ll definitely get you off the couch (and away from that nasty bucket of chicken). Culture hit? Tick and tick.

One wrong spin, and we might end up cowering in the corner of a deadbeat house party clutching a warm beer, accosted by that too-loud girl and desperately planning our escape route. So the promise of something a little more substantial to do with our weekend is always welcome. FBi is coming the rescue with their new Pot Luck. A tantalising mix of zine stalls, bingo, art installations, readings, skits, film, crafternoons, bands, DJs and more, it’s the ultimate pick ‘n mix for a Friday night. You never know what you’re going to get (pretty sure there’ll be a healthy dose of F-U-N, though). Roll down this week for launch night, which includes a live Renny Kodgers Quiz Hour, set by band The Preachers, stories from Penguins Plays Rough, free drinks for the early birds, and loads more.
