So this weekend was spent mostly at the Fridge Festival. The Fringe has been going on since February 19th in Adelaide. It is the second biggest Fringe in the world second only to the Edinburgh, Scotland one. For those of you who don't know what a Fringe Festival is, let me tell you. It is essentially a giant festival for the arts. Comedy shows, short plays, music, street performers, puppets. You name some sort of arts related thing and it is there.
We went on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night. All very different shows. Thursday was a band called My Friend the Chocolate Cake. They were great!! They had a piano, violin, cello, bass, mandolin, and drums. Their music was really beautiful. If they were selling CDs I would have bought one! On Friday we saw a two man show call There. It was weird! Justin and I left having no idea what we just saw. The show was in like a tractor trailer crate. I guess it was acting or performance art. Very strange. On Saturday, we saw a show called Up Skit Creek. It was a bunch of comedy skits. It was pretty funny. Two of the skits had the Australian mythical creature, the Bunyip, in it. Which Justin and I thought was pretty funny since we had been talking about it so much with my dad and Theresa!
Sunday, we went over to one of my co-workers for lunch. It was fabulous! She fed us very well! We were stuffed! She had some great cheese and fruit platters and then a great Aussie barbie! We also went to church Sunday night. It is sad because we only have a few more services to go to until it is time to go home! :(
That is about it from here. Tomorrow Annie, Amanda, and Brooke my friends from back home arrive in Adelaide!! I am pretty excited! I get to leave work early to pick them up! They have already been to the Great Barrier Reef, Sydney, and Uluru, so I can't wait to talk to them about it!! We miss you all!
