Festival of Dangerous Ideas.

Drumroll! Presenting....the Festival of Dangerous Ideas 2011. Isn't it so fabulously titled?

I missed the Sydney Opera Houses's inaugural FDI last year but I certainly don't plan on being left out this year, not when one of my absolute favourites - Jonathan Safran Foer - will be jetting over the seas.

Throw the 'world's most dangerous man' Julian Assange and everyone's pretend favourite mad uncle, Alexander McCall-Smith into the mix and it's shaping up to be a ripper weekend.

Festival of Dangerous Ideas, 1-2 October 2011
