More Fringing

[caira]

Luck is gimmicky, flashy, as random as the name implies, occasionally deliberately grating, and loud enough to drown out two dozen V8s being driven hard just down the road. It's a show about Vegas, it had damn well better be. The woman in the one-woman show couldn't have done better with her (tricky) set requirements if she had designed the theatre

I've been pretty lax with Fringe attendance this year, other than the whole being in it thing and occasional jaunts in the Garden. (Which is closing on Sunday and I'm sad because nobody wants to go this weekend, boo!)

Between that and the Clipsal, I'm actually starting to wish that we could go back to the whole 'quiet city' thing. Can't get a bloody park anywhere these days, and there are first-class bogans in Ford shirts and mullets hanging out in Rundle St.

I don't think I've ever heard a Zombie Jesus crack. Care to share?

Awwww. Nothing wrong with going stag. Unless, of course, the stand-up comic you're seeing singles you out and pumps you for sordid details of your not-quite-a-divorce-yet. (Um, on second thoughts, want to join me there? ;o)

That's actually why I kinda love the Clipsal: no to go to, not to go anywhere near, not because they're on Rundle St per se---just because there's an infusion of bogans into some of Adelaide's least bogan-tolerant suburbs. It's fun to watch the Burnside types shuffle along in fear. (Um, nothing personal.)

I don't do stag, really. At least not in places that involve me having to entertain myself for longish periods (restaurants, movies, town... the Garden...). It's a thing. *shrug*

I pretty much live in Boganville, if you haven't guessed already from all the 'we have feral crazy neighbours' posts. No Burnside snobs here, dude. I think the honkin' great police station on the corner puts people off any real bad stuff, though. (That's just no fun)

I have the urge to go to Burnside Village tomorrow in my best attempt at boganwear and try to scare some snobs. (Wanna come? ;o)

Dammit! I had to go out and throw out that threadbare Ford shirt, didn't I?

(Random note: when I was younger and precociouser I once asked my father, while watching the news, how come there were so many bogans in Adelaide if Bo(u)ganville was in Papua New Guinea.)

So Ben Folds wrote a song about our lovely city. Check out the lyrics at 0:34. :D Incidentally, we're taking this one overseas to Canada with us on the choir tour, rearranged for acapella women's voices by... someone. ;)

Also... Ford? Really? Heh.

Hell, somewhere I used to have an honest-to-God boater hat . . . with a ribbon in Port Power colours. Burnside might be a little bit too new-money to get it, but I'd probably cause heart attacks along the better streets of North Adelaide.

You're going to Canada? Olympicsville? Lucky little . . . ;o)
