All of the events listed here are running over the entire four days of TiNA, so we thought it best to bunch them all together so you can see in a snapshot what events you can take a little breath for.... and plan when it suits you to visit them.

Pre-TiNA Events
There were a few sneaky events that did not quite make the four day time-slot of TiNA. However, we thought you should still know about them.... so here they are.

TiNA kicks off today. Make sure you get along to The Terrace Bar from 6pm to help us celebrate the launch of TiNA for 2013. Then choose your own adventure for the night as the festival starts to unwrap around Newcastle and get along to a range of events and performance to complete your first taste of TiNA. But don't burn the candle too much..... remember there are still three huge days to go.

Day two and looking good. Hope you've had your weet-bix! Today is jam packed full of all sorts of experiences just waiting for you. So come on in... the water's fine. Literally. From evening performances on Newcaslte Beach with Crack Theatre; to sleepovers with the National Young Writers'; to late night readings; all ending with the Critical Animals tenth birthday celebrations at The Terrace Bar, which will feature live bands, DJs, parlour games and the launch our Anniversary Journal, Critical Animalia, it's going to be a challenge to come out the otherside. Oh and BTW, you will need to dress up as your Spirit Animal. Of course...

Ok - now you are really in the thick of it and your time management skills will come into play. Saturday is about the ability to move through a maze of events, performances, panels, workshops, forums, trivia and more and come out the other side..... ready to cut loose at The Terrace Bar for the National Young Writers' Paranormal Formal.

Ahhhhh.... Sunday. The day of the rest. Also known as the day of the massive hangover. You will however need the strength to pick yourself up and get over to the Zine Fair at the National Young Writers' headquarters, the perfect place to get a strong black coffee, chill and recover for the more relaxed vibes of Sunday, but.....(wait for it).... we forgot to tell you Electrofringe will be hosting their one-day showcase, like all day, and then to close off the night, they are hosting the closing night party at Silk Hotel down the West End part of town. Still hanging in the East End though? Don't fret, Crack Theatre's After Party at the Crack House will be well underway by 8pm and you know it wouldn't be TiNA if you missed this.
