About Me


I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4DANKSTA DOWNUNDER NOW HAS A BLOG AT THE SUNSHINE COAST DAILY. Numero Uno Sir Dude Danksta Downunder, a.k.a. Hamish Danks Brown of Noosa Heads, is the founding heads-and-tails of the newly emerging microstate of Danksta Downunder. This is a realm devoted to performance poetry, writing, music, experimenta obscura, idees trouvees, and the playful place of eccentricity and growing older feeling younger and disgraceful. In 2007 (or Year Mk.#..1 in the Danksta calendar) Danksta Dowunder is celebrating a half-century of maverick existence in his little corner of the world. While the geographical territory of Danksta Downunder is primarily on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland, the boundaries of this unica amongst micronations tend to alter according to daily whim, the caprices of the 9 muses, and the geopolitical situation, and other such factors. Somedays the Danksta stays ensconsed in his retreat, but some nights the Danksta makes an advance! MOTTO: La seconde que je vis est la second que je demeure (the second that I live is the second that I live in) - Italo Calvino 'Time and the Hunter'.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

/AGeorges Perec and the rest of OuLiPo, Franz Kafka, Benoit Mandlebrot, Jose Saramago, Tom Waits, Rachel Berdach, outsiders and eccentrics everywhere - artists, writers, performers, musicians, philosohers, designers, travellers, all kinds of people.
