Aug 12 (Day 10) Priorities, Fosters and Funny Women

I should have been doing my washing today but priorities, people. Priorities. And those priorities are 1. Comedy. 2. Free Stuff. 3. Hot Women. So when you join Comedy WITH Free Stuff AND Hot Women, I would push an old person down by the face to get me some of that action. Unfortunately there were no old people hindering my access to get into "Rom Com Con", so I cant prove to you just how serious I am about sticking with those priorities. Instead, I will tell you about the show. 

So Lizzy Mace and Juliette Burton - two young, attractive, intelligent women struggle to meet men, so they go to Romantic Comedies for ideas. Ideas such as how they should look, how they should act, where they are likely to meet men...all that stuff that we see Cameron Diaz, Julia Roberts, Katherine Heigl et al go through half a dozen times a year in cinemas. Only these two decide to put the theory of these films into real life situations. What they go through is a series of events with varying results, all of which they have catalogued and are prepared to (regardless of how embarrassing the results might have been) share with us. This premise is hilarious and Mace and Burton are totally honest about their successes or lack thereof. They take us on a journey through make-overs, first impressions and "fake" dates and come to some realisations of their own that the Rom Coms they have tried to emulate seem to be lacking. You can make your own mind up about what the girls have learned by the end of the show but on the way you will have had some seriously good laughs. And probably learned something about women.

After this I went to a place called Oz Bar and got to watch some cricket where the Poms smashed India (mixed emotions about this obviously) and then saw an AFL game and felt right at home. Except that I was drinking Fosters, which I wouldn't be able to do in Australia because nobody even sells it.

I also downloaded the free Fringe App which has a couple of really handy features, including being able to see whats on next whatever time of day it is and a GPS based map which helps you find exactly where you are going. I have now formulated a plan to use this App to spend a whole day seeing Free Fringe shows end-to-end. Should be awesome.
