How Early is Too Early For Barry White?

Answer: 8.03pm on a Wednesday night is too early to be playing Barry White.



Last night Lisel invited me along to the Fringe Festival opening. I was astounded that we knew (almost) no one in the audience, apparently actors aren't smart enough to hang out at art openings or something. It was also boggling to realise that anyone could wander off the street, past the bouncers and down the stairs of Billboards and help themselves to all the free grog. Anyone! Amazing. They even provided food. L and I found ourselves sharing a booth with two fellas from a community radio station. They had lined up a remarkable number of drinks in front of them in anticipation of the free bar ending. When asked what they were doing here they looked at their drinks and replied "getting pissed". How exciting to find kindred spirits...
