Waterway to travel.

Canal between St Andrew's Junior College and St Andrew's School.

This boat faithfully trawls the canal between SAJC and SAS to pick up litter and leaves on a regular basis (every week or so, I estimate).

Based on this, I’ve had some students who’ve suggested using this waterway as a transport route as part of their Project Work [1].

If students can do it, what more adults?

That’s why I think it’s possible for our urban planners to come up with more creative solutions to solve our transport woes instead of just razing buildings and fattening roads [2].

    “When we say, poleaxed, ‘What’s that perfume? I really like it,’ here’s what we mean: Stealing a kiss in a cab, drinking a Manhattan, which I have never drank before, in Manhattan, where I have never been before tonight”.
     
  • Found Someone’s CD Collection On The Sidewalk | Thought Catalogue
    “I’m a child of the 90s. I remember what it meant to build a CD collection: spending hours at Sam Goody or FYE or Tower or some other vaguely intimidating mall record store buying albums one at a time for $16 a pop, reading the back of the jewel case for 10 minutes, trying to decide if the band’s other nine songs were as good as the one you heard on the radio, knowing they probably weren’t, and buying it anyway”.

If you’re interested, please e-mail Lynn or text her with:

  • The date(s) you can make it for filming.

PLEASE:

  • Like partying (all ages welcome)!
  • Come dressed to party like it’s NYE!

  • Bring an extra set of party clothes as we’ll be doing multiple shots.
  • Bring an extra pair of shoes – comfortable ones so you can wear them in between takes
  • Have dinner before you come (there’ll be a bar on set).

PLEASE DO NOT:

  • DO NOT wear white (all other colours are fine).

Some perks to thank you for your time:

  • Each extra will get a ticket for one free entry into Butter Factory at a later date.

  • We promise an absolutely fabulously fun time with the cast and crew!
