1. Become ‘Robo-pope’

3. Not be criticised for urging AIDS-ravaged Africa to avoid condoms.

Anything else?

Mr. Factory

I’m thinking that I might change my name.

I’d always planned to, ever since those early university days when Arnold Lee used to call me Mr. Factory. I like Mr. Factory, I’m just not too sure on the other two. Obviously a Kilbot or something has to be in there.. Mr Paul Kilbot Factory? Mr K. Bot Factory?

Amazingly it seems quite easy to change your name. The Law Institute of Victoria offer this advice “If you are over 18, you can change your name simply by consistently using a new name. You can change your name whenever you like, as long as this is not done for criminal purposes.” I have been using Paul D. Kilbot for years, but I never thought I could get away with just consistently using it… surely it would be worth splashing out the extra $17.50 to get it on a certificate.

In typical blog fashion I would like to hear any suggestions for a first and/or second name. In typical “poor-kilbot-looking-for-the-next-scam” fashion I am willing to offer naming rights if anyone wants to make a bid, I’m particularly interested to see if my parents will jump in and offer a bid for me to keep my name… I mean, how keen were they really on the name Paul?

Band-Aid Post Poned

Hola,

I will soon be contacting various artists individually to inform them that Aid for Asia will be pushed to April.

Due to the number of tsunami related fund-raising activities going on at the moment, we figured it would be advantagteous to stage our event in April – when there will still be a pressing need for funds but less publicity surrounding it.

We still intend to distribute funds to Red Cross, Oxfam and Sewalanka. It looks likely that the Hyde Park Hotel will be the venue.

Thanks to Ando, KL, Nuno Van Damdam, Voyager, Micadelic, Cass, Badger and all others for their pledges of assistance. Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. I will be in touch shortly regarding the renewed schedule.

Forget the West for all the relevant news in W.A. I noticed this article on page 2 of the 27/01/2005 edition of the South Western Times. Full story for the accompanying article.

Tsunami Appeal Benefit Gig

On the night of Saturday, February 26th, me and some colleagues of mine will be running 'Aid for Asia' at an as yet to be determined venue. We are seeking the Flying Scotsman and Velvet Lounge, as they were an excelent partner in our last pro bono venture, Sounds for Sudan (which I had only a little to do with).

All proceeds will be divided amongst a number of agencies working on tsunami-effected areas including Red Cross and Sewalanka (a Sri Lankan NGO). We are yet to decide on the full list of recipients. I am also planning a film night fundraiser at the Luna from which all proceeds will go to the same agencies.

To date, three acts are confirmed: two for the Velvet Lounge – Micadelic and DJ KL, and one for the Scotsman – Voyager. In addition, I am awaiting confirmation from The Funk Club House Band (for the Velvet Lounge) and one of Felix Jeppe's projects – possibly The McCarburetors, possibly The Salt Flats Trio. Unfortunately The Panics are unavailable as they will be on tour at the time. I am going to call Cheeky regarding Downsyde, and will no doubt have to discuss the matter with Paul Sloan at some stage.

As you may have gathered, the plan is for funk, hip hop and decks to operate in the Velvet lounge while varieties of the rock music operate in the Scotsman. My thinking is five acts in each area.

We will be doing radio promos on 107fm and RTR (at least), issuing press releases to The West, Sunday Times and all metropolitan community newspapers. There will also be some postering madness all over metro WA once most of the details are confirmed.

If any of you Westsiders want to help, contact me, Narges Razavi, Debbie Guest or Sunili Govinnage. (Just in case you know one of them and don't know or don't like me). We'll need people for postering teams, door work, band contacts, media contacts, promo ideas etc etc

FOR THE RECORD:

Narges Razavi and I set up 'Cooking With Gas' in March, 2004, when we ran Bands for Bam – a gig that raised $2040 for the Red Cross Bam earthquake appeal. Since then we've done Cargo for Congo (July '04) and Sounds for Sudan (October '04). We've raised almost $5000 for causes including Red Cross and Amnesty International. All bands and all people working on Cooking With Gas events are volunteers.

Calling all cars

We have been going craft crazy here at the Kilbot Factory in preparation for the Meredith Music Festival. About a week ago I had the hair-brained notion that we could sell t-shirts to fund the crazy insanity, so I have sunk all my money and a little bit of other people’s money into the production of 40 shirts. It occurred to me that a much safer bet would be to invest my money in the drug market; it would have been less work, greater profit and an almost certainty of selling anything I had to offer… anyways, too late to turn back now. We have a flag (left), plenty of shirts to wear, a truck load of cheap wine and one Loafa’s-New-Years-style Casino Royale play board.

One thing we are lacking is a car. Fancy and Kirsty had planned to drive but their car has suffered fatal road injuries (Fancy or Kirsty may expand on this later). That leaves us kinda in a pickle. If anyone on the eastcoast has a car we can borrow for the weekend, please give me a call… history will remember your deed kindly through a power-ballad I shall pen, tentatively entitled “The Car That Saved Christmas”.
