after at least 3 years of discussion, 6 months of planning, 14 weeks of building, and more than a few nights of freaking out, last night at 9.45pm we got to witness another one of raph’s obsessive idea’s come into reality.
after all that it was quite surreal to see it parked next to our house. i had feelings that swayed from “of my god – what the fuck are we doing?…” to “oh my god – look at this amazing thing we created – what the fuck are we doing? ” (actually not dis-similar feelings to that of at the birth of our kids – but possibly on a less epic scale).
so please let me introduce the newest member to our family – BEATBOX KITCHEN!!
raph is already up at meredith setting up for the first day of trading tomorrow in the international food court – so if you are lucky to have scored a ticket (pharoahe monch/animal collective/middle east/eddy current – wish i was going to be there) go say hello!
meredith menu includes – shroom burger, chicken schnitzel rap, grilled provolone and tomato piadina and also first (of many) co-labs – eddy current “cool ice-cream” sandwich – premium vanilla ice-cream sandwiched between 2 slices of my secret-recipe brownie. even though i have now tasted it a few dozen times i would still call it a taste sensation. and it comes with a free limited edition magnet!!
beatbox kitchen is also now on twitter and has a website (although not much on it for now – updates soon!). it also received a sweet write-up on three thousand this week (thanks max!).
anyway now the hysteria of finishing the beatbox is over, i might actually have time to put some of my new work and other news on here… (that is once i get past my single-parent weekend) post of that sort coming soon. til then… stay fresh!

Looks amazing and the food sounds great, when will it be zooming around Fitzroy with my dinner?! Congratulations
thanks susan! we are still speaking to each council to find out exact rules regarding food vendors on the street. we know we can do city of moreland and port phillip and most other suburbs, but city/fitzroy area is sticky… worst case scenario is you might have to trundle up to brunswick east and eat dinner in the park – not so bad hey? will def keep blog updated as to where we will be
Looks amazing! Great concept. Any chance you’ll get over st kilda way?? x
Loved your show in pakington st BTW. Great to see your presence over this side of town. (Trams are fab too!)

Home from Meredith. Went for Oh Mercy & Beatbox Kitchen. Oh Mercy had 5000 people in front of them…. luckily Raphs que was shorter. Chicken rap was amazing. Can he bring the truck to our Xmas picnic? x
looks absolutely awesome. You two are so clever…and I know where I’d be buying my food if I was at Meredith.
You can park it at our place, just behind Theatreworks on Acland St, whenever you want…YUM! Xx
I just got stuck on the brownie icecream sandwich idea! Yum!
absolutely wicked!!! totally genius – love it!
I think that is one of the best things I have EVER seen!!!
