Anybody who came with us last year can confirm how much fun we have on there..and this year, Joe's going to ride it without his seat belt...WOOHOOOO ROCK n ROLL!!

I missed that. I was there when you got home and as amusing as that was, I do hope to join you there next year!

Oh, and I'll be there too.

As for shows that will be here next year, I do know that the lovely Julia Wilson will be back and i've heard a rumour that The Brother's McKenzie will be on during the festival and I can't remember but I think maybe the Fringe Festival Award Winning Super Happy Robot Hour might be on then (???) *looks pointedly at GM*

oooooooh yyyeaaaaah, we're gettin a posse together and we're heading out for the big fish. Joe wants us to do our show at the aquarium ride this year, THAT'S how much he loves it there!

What's wrong with groupie sex? (Tuesday is amateur night!)

You can download a Quicktime or Windows Media short about the simulator in the virtual aquariuam tour here.

Yes, it's a simulator of the simulator. You can't get much more detached from reality than that.

And as the site says:

Good lord, it's as if the Bad Grammar Fairy has been throwing her weight around the entire website.

I wonder if you could actually do that.

Me. And I know lots of other people. And you had people drive down from Canberra just to see the last show! So :P

Depending on my financial situation, 2005 could be the year for me! I am planning to go in 2006, but these plans could be bought forward a year now that I have a new job.

Only time will tell.

A late reply, but I'll be there! Not sure what dates, though.

Well THAT didn't look ANYTHING like the ride we went on! Ours was about fish. hmmmm, maybe they've changed it..YAY! Another reason for us to go there STRAIGHT after we land.

I guess I wouldn't count as a groupie, would I?

(Not that anything happened .... yet ...)

There's some photos from the show here:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thesuperhappyrobothour/

You'll have to join the group to access the photos, darn it. That's not quite what I wanted but I don't know s#it about this kind of thing.
(But it's still better than stealing MOSH bandwidth, eh?)

Whoops.

No, stuff happened. Yes. We did ... stuff. Lots of stuff. To each other. I was there, so I remember it distinctly. I did some stuff, then Dermo did some stuff, then I did some stuff on my own in the corner, then we had tacos.

(I think we're fooling 'em!)
