Anyone else think it’s suspicious that the temperature just dropped by 10 degrees now that King Charles has left the country? Theories welcome. Read on for Thursday's happenings.

The Headlines

• Daybreak festival has announced it is holding a one-off event called 'The Garage' in a secret car park location on 9th Nov. With a line-up of DJs we are clearly not cool enough to have heard of, and the promise of some classic day rave vibes full of op-shop clad Brunswick boys. Tickets went on sale yesterday afternoon, and early bird tickets are already sold out so if car park grooving is your thing, get those tickets secured.

• No one has wished for an $8 million lottery win more than a backpacker willing their way out of another week in Nomads. Well, if you happened to purchase a ticket from a CBD newsagent this week, you might well be in luck—there's an unclaimed winner on the loose. Hot take of the year from the newsagent: "I can imagine they'll be super shocked when they check their ticket."

• Yo-chi is known for a banging partnership every now and again. This time they’ve coupled with Melbourne-famous pastry shop, Tarts Anon. The treat in question? Smoked Pecan and Butterscotch Tart topping. Whether your bowl is $5 or $15, absolutely no judgement here. Enjoy it.

Where to Eat and Drink

It's the first day of the Asia Street Food Festival in Alexandra Gardens on the Yarra running all weekend, and it's set to be a good one with live music and Hoi An-style lanterns. We all know just how good Australia's reputation is when it comes to authentic Asian food, and for one weekend only you can find it all in one place. No need to endure that painful decision between Thai, Vietnamese and Chinese anymore—you can have them all.

Where to Live

This St Kilda flat is up for grabs for six months from the 15th of December. It comes with pretty cheap rent, some Van Gogh-inspired paintings, and some limp fairy lights lining the window. Your future housemate loves a good hike, so if you’ve been wanting to escape the city more, this could be your time to shine.

Core selling point: pre-installed flyscreens ready to catch the crawlies.

Where to Work

If you're missing your pooch (or kitten) back home, have we got a vacancy for you. Yuroke Boarding wants to pay you to chase adorable dogs around a kennel for a living. Sounds like the perfect cure for any homesickness you might be experiencing. The ability to understand dog body language is desirable, naturally.

Where to Go

Another day, another pub quiz. Boys, look away—Melbourne Working Holiday Girls is hosting a trivia night at Lona St Kilda tonight. With a glass of wine on arrival thrown in for good measure, Dutch courage can equip you for a night of icebreakers and socialising with other gals. There's set to be six rounds of quizzing, and it's a great way to meet people with plenty of people heading there alone. This link gets you 10% off the entry price, too.
