Arj Barker for the win

Th last Fringe show I attended (on Tuesday, 3/8) with Jon and Katie was definitely the most famous act--Arj Barker. Arj is a comedian of some note for his role in several movies and, perhaps most famously, the wonderful show "Flight of the Conchords." If you haven't seen this show, you simply must. It is one of my all-time favorites.

Anyways, Arj has apparently garnered a fair following here in Australia, as his shows during the Fringe were at a massive venue and his tickets were not as cheap as many of the other acts. But Jon said we should see at least one major act while the Fringe was in town and we chose to see Arj. We weren't disappointed and he kept us laughing nearly the whole time. As with all comedians, however, he relied a bit too much on colorful, vulgar humor to get a laugh. This was expected, but still a bit off-putting. I did enjoy the show though. Here is picture of the man himself (the one signing autographs...not the butt to the left of the picture):

It is nice being in a bigger city than Hillsdale with a fair bit of shows, activities, festivals, etc. happening all the time. It is nice to drive a few minutes to find great entertainment. I don't think I could ever live in a city much bigger than Adelaide for a long time, but I am enjoying the benefits of city life while I am here.

In Christ,
