Okay so we’ve got you connecting online in our Facebook group (yes it’s true), but are keen to know if any of you have stories of having made connections in ‘real’ life through Dumbo feather. We’ll start the ball rolling shall we.
Our current train of thought was prompted by the following email we were forwarded…
“Hi, thanks for my ‘Dumbo Feather’ (where does the name come from?) I’ve been meaning to write for ages (sorry). The magazine arrived the day after I saw you… I just had a great experience - went to my local (favourite) cafe with a pile of things to read (had a kid-free arvo) and I made a new friend just because she saw my copy of Dumbo Feather. We got talking and she is a fellow single mother and has been following the mag for a little while and is quite intrigued by it…. All consistent with the ‘pass it on’ philosophy - we exchanged numbers too!…

Hello, this might not be the right page to post this (I’ve lost my way exploring the website) but I’m just wondering if there are any fellow Dumbo Feather readers up here in Newcastle NSW who would like to start a ‘mook’ club like that mentioned from NZ? I’ve seen copies walking off shelves so there must be fellow inspired readers around town and the hunter perhaps?
Thanks again for a stellar mook. I’m eagerly awaiting the next edition!!
em :)
yeah i’m keen. i started reading dumbo feather at estabar and now i’m hooked. however am going away for a month or so and then will erratically be in newie but i’m definitely in
I work at estabar - so many people LOVE dumbo feather - they steal copies all the time!
They must be doing a great job! Maybe the Mook Club wants to meet at estabar? My boss is in Peru at the moment, but I reckon she might be interested in hosting a Mook Club night - what do you girls think? should I ask her?
i’d love to meet other novocastrian dumbo featherers - bring it on! estabar sounds great.
I would be interested in looking at this. I don’t know where estabar is. It would be fun.
I neither know what nor where is estabar, but think this is a fantabulous idea. I’m in.
I think it’s a great idea, I have Dumbo Feather in my cafe- Vincent’s in Mayfield everyone loves it
Hello fello Novocastrian and Estebar goers! Wow, I just checked this page and its just awesome to see other people keen to catch up! Estebar is on Newcastle beach and would be an excellent spot, Tahnee if your boss is keen that would be great! It would be nice to meet like minded souls… Lets use this page to swap some ideas and maybe meet up for a coffee there in the next couple of weeks? em :) (a very excited em)
cool, but i’m not back in newie until 3rd december so will have to postpone my visit until next time if you guys are meeting before then
I’m working on it, will let you know via email.
tell your friends :)
oh, yeah, estabar is on Newcastle Beach, on the corner of shortland esplanade and ocean street. it’s really groovy, we specialise in gelati and coffee with some delicious food stuffs and cakes…
thought i’d get a quick plug in (Vincent’s in mayfield is tops too though, very cool cafe)
