The Home Buyer and Property Investor Show will be on in Perth this weekend (Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 March).

It's late Friday afternoon in Perth, and while the din of traffic quietens in the city as office workers head home for the weekend, things are just getting started at 45 St Georges Terrace. The best brains around town are gathered together at the co workspace SpaceCubed to gear up for the Perth Start up Weekend.

Last night my partner and I were fortunate enough to snag a couple of seats for Circus Ronaldo's performance of La Cucina dell'Arte as part of the Perth Festival for 2013.

The shows have been selling out, so we weren't surprised to find a large mass of people milling around before the show opened in Russell Square at 8pm.

While waiting for the show to begin, the crowd was serenaded by a busking didgeridoo player, whose stone-age sound contrasted nicely with the Renaissance style art of the Circus Ronaldo billboarding.
