So, what are you going to see? Can you recommend some acts/events that you know are terrrific and worth seeing??

I'll start, I am seeign Deadly Funny (aboriginal standup comedy); Supermarket (audiovisual immersion); The bill Hicks play (about what Hicks would think of the world today, cant wait it should be awesssoommmeee) and also, my friends cabaret show (and it should be wikkid!)...

Librarian Idol
Andrew Finegan is a librarian. He is also a man on a mission. Throughout history, there have been numerous librarians who have left their mark on the world. For generations, librarians were revered as the custodians of wisdom and knowledge in society. They were respected and held in high regard within the professional world.

They were Librarian Idols.

And yet, something went wrong along the way. Popular culture has reduced the profession to a stereotype of frumpy middle-aged women, with their hair in a bun and index finger poised in the “shushing” position.

And so Andrew begins his person quest to become a Librarian Idol for a new generation. Often light-hearted, sometimes controversial, yet ever-faithful to his profession, Andrew examines the lives of past Librarian Idols and investigates what it means to become an Idol in today’s culture of disposable pop media. Armed with a keyboard and a knowledge of the Dewey Decimal System, he has embarked on an ongoing journey to become a... LIBRARIAN IDOL.

sweet! Here are the fringe opening night details icon_biggrin

Opening Night Party

The Presets, Dappled Cities Fly, über Lingua Sound System,

One night. One massive street party. One fabulously-edgy Fringe opens with a bang.

The streets in the East End of Adelaide will closed to traffic and awash with Fringe artists, roving
performers and risky outdoor theatre, all before the main stage kicks in with live music from local,
interstate and international acts.

Your night of nights in balmy Adelaide.

Friday 22 February. 6pm – 2.30am, main stage kicking off at 8.30pm.

I haven't had a good look at the timetable yet so I am not sure what main events might interest me, but I'll almost certainly be at the opening parade with a bunch of photographers from another forum. If you're going along and see a bunch of guys all wandering around with cameras I'll be amongst them... icon_wink

I saw it a few times last year and it is amazing.

Kinda helped that the guy behind it all is originally from Adelaide and an old friend. Me thinks I need to track down his number again.
