  if you see the Ask khem thread, you'll know why I spelt it wrong :P

Yeah, I know. I was just having a laugh...

what else ya checkin at the fringe?
highly recommend Jason cook. Was funny as fuck last year
Adam hills wasnt as funny as id hoped

Im not too sure, just wanna see as much as I can... love it.

 

I'll allow it though, mainly due to its jocular nature.



[video: www.youtube.com]

wow! that was so feral. full of underage pissed geared up idiots everywhere. was only there an hour or so and that was enough.

It was ok, I especially enjoyed some of the casual and jocular conversations that I had.  Agreed, there were certainly some wankers about though Tim.   

 

didn't mind it, but got in early and left early enough too.  thankfully didn't have to hear that pa la vous francais bullshit!

Words cannot describe how much I hate that song.

same i loathe art v science and to see the crowd reaction as they smashed into par le vu was just depressing

I do not understand how anyone can like it. It is terrible "music"

I'd listen to dubstep over Art vs Science!

I guess this is now the Fringe & Festival thread.

Went to see a few things with the kids yesterday. They were desperate to go to Amococo and it was really good. Best part of it all was at $2 a person it was friendly on the wallet as well. Definitely worth checking out.

Also took them to see this mentalist/magician guy who was also fantastic.

Man I love March in Adelaide. All I need to do now is find somebody keen to see CW Stoneking with me.

Oh, is that who the Art vs Science people are? I didn't even know who they were

Wow that's pretty trippy. Acid anyone?

I would rather cut my balls with rusty scissors then subject myself to seeing him.

really looking forward to checking that thing out.

Choose a cool day if you can because on we went before midday on Saturday and it was already like a sauna inside.

Where abouts is that maze? Does it cost much to get in?

I'm heading to this:

this

i really hate that guy.  and don't get me started on the jjj movie review dude.

My cousin's effort in the fringe this yr:

http://www.talkfringe.com/index.php?view=act&id=686   

I got told it's $2 per person

I'm guessing it's in the Garden.. I really want to go in it

its across the road from the garden and costs fuck all

Anyone else going to ALittle More Light in Victoria Park on Saturday night.

Basically it's a free show by French pyrotechnic crew Trouppe F. I imagine there will be a million people there but it looks awesome.

Also, those who missed it last time, the Northern Lights are back this year on North Tce and they are amazing. Runs every night for the entire festival from this Friday.

Get along to see The Wheel Of Frank Confession if you can...8pm tonight, not too sure about other dates.

A friend of mine is in it, here's a quick review to give you an idea of what it's about:

and then cruise down to rymill park for fuse with Delt's and staen 1

I went to the Little More Light festival launch tonight and it was amazing. One of the the most incredible things I've seen in a very long time.

Hate to think how much a show like that cost to put on. Only negative about it is I'll never be able to enjoy fireworks again - nothing will even come close to that.

Huge crowd as well. Wouldn't be surprised to hear there was more than 100,000 there.

So incredibly good.

It was pretty good, wasn't it? I really enjoyed the music and I was also lucky enough to bump into friends who had a primo spot.

So glad I rode in though!

Wrong thread.

Little more light is part of the Adelaide Festival

I even saw a news article (on Australia channel) over here about that (and the Northern Lights). The French guys who put it on were worried about fires given the dry conditions.

I take it nothing broke out?

I thought we were using this thread for both festivals. I know I have been.


Surprisingly no. Amazed there weren't any fires as the parklands are very dry and there were sparks raining down on the ground on more than one occasion.

Yeah the guy said on the report that they were going to be wetting down as much of the surrounding area as possible, so I'm sure that helped.

Went to see Zeitgeist last night. Didn't think it would really be my thing but got dragged there by mum, it was fucking amazing. Still have 2 days left to see it if you want to see something awesome and worth every cent. I'll see it again if I can convince anyone else to go.

P.S. You get to see boobies.

went to man walks into a bar last night. some pretty funny shit. Some drunk cunt picked a fight with one of the comedians, while he was on stage! he was promptly escorted out as he approached the stage to box on

 

BUMP, its back! very very soon...

can we move this back to upcoming/current events Khem?

cheers.

should probably post a new thread since everything in here is a year old
