Silliness - Fringe-Lympics, anyone?
So, it looks like we’ll be getting quite a bit o’ Fringe in this year. On Sunday at the Festival Club @ North Melbourne Town Hall we caught Ollie Olsen & friends Fading Fires doing a pretty impressive set accompanying some interesting surrealist movies including murderous women with keys that turned into knives, and mysterious flocks of bowler hats … and a half hour montage of gulf war oil fire footage, which was fascinating and terrifically saddening. The music was quite good, very experimental, evocative. Well worth heading down - and even better, it was free!
There is more neat Fringe stuff coming up - we’re checking out the Tenth Stage tomorrow night @ the Toff, and there’s a couple of things we kinda wanna maybe see, such as Danceathon 6000 on Friday night [free] and possibly more amusingly, we rather fancy the idea of Fringe-Lympics hosted by Dave Callan [also free] - if anyone is game to get a team together, perhaps? It could be amusing indeed. Or embarrassing. Or stupid. But I like Dave Callan, he’s funneh 
Here’s the blurb:
Fringe-lympics - Hosted By Dave Callan

Be a part of the inaugural Fringe-lympics! Pub trivia, group games, karaoke, double-dare, physical challenge, primal scream therapy and the Commodore 64 meets the world’s dumbest art competition.
Bring a team of friends or just come along for the fun.
Art is a race. Let’s cheat.
Anyone game for this? It’s next Wednesday 8th October.
