a somewhat tattered fringe

The Adelaide Fringe is almost upon us again, and these are the shows that I'm going to at the moment. If anyone wants to join me in the queues, or perhaps to have dinner beforehand, please feel free to contact me. Lawrence Leung and Andrew McClelland's Somewhat Secret Secret Society Show Thursday 23rd February, 8pm Pluck - The Specialists Saturday 25th February, 7pm Wendy Rule Sunday 26th February, 6:30pm Rod Quantock's Australia! Wednesday 8th March, 7pm Corinne Grant - Faking It Thursday 9th March, 8:15pm Tripod in Self-Saucing Tuesday 14th March, 8pm [This looks like being the official URGA excursion for this Tuesday.] All the sessions are at special cheap preview prices, so if you want to come, you had better book early. I'll probably head off to see a few more things, if there is stuff other people are also interested in going to. Oh, and they really should have gotten someone competent in to design their booking system. Putting in the name of a show or actor had a less than 1 in two chance of finding it. Be prepared to wait while booking tickets. Still, I'm rather disappointed in a lot of the Fringe. The comedy line-up is quite good, but a lot of the other shows/groups I was expecting don't seem to have turned up this year (although I am already hearing rumours of dissatisfaction/personality clashes with elements of this year's organizers and various artists). And Sound And Fury are doing the Arizona Renfaire this year. Edit: Just realised I might not get to see Pluck afterall, especially if Cyoakha Grace from Land of the Blind and Wendy Rule are playing at the Spiegeltent that day. Anyone that has an album titled Unknown Music from Dreamquest of Kadath has half sold me already. Hmmmmmm. Edit2: I'm going to Pluck on the 25th now (at 7pm), and Wendy Rule on the 26th (at 6:30pm). I've changed the listing above.
