Festival First Night
Benito arrived in Adelaide yesterday, just in time for festival first night. To show him the town we all caught the free bus around Adelaide, we did the loop, we did it twice, each time with the view to getting off at each important stop and flyering but we stayed on the bus in order to avoid the extreme and dry South Australian heat – with the plan to flyer later on in the evening. We then settled into the final preview performance. It was a cracker: we played to an almost-full house. Former reviewer from DB Magazine said “The Chronic Ills of Bob Zimmerman … was fantastic and will be a hit of the fringe! I am sorry I was not reviewing!” (David Grybowski). Then we went out on the town, Fringe Bar, Garden, Dodgem Cars and Pizza. Matt, Si and Lennie charmed the socks off a bunch of random partiers at the garden, the proof of which is captured below. It was a really fun night and ended at about 4am…
