a saturday in northbridge

what a fantastic day... started off wandering through a little church fete. had i known it was on i would've arrived earlier, before all the lamingtons and scones had been snaffled up.


then just a few short blocks away...


i wandered around the area, waiting for the shows to start and marija & stu to show.

came across a few odds and ends.




this next pic is of the gastropodia, which reminded me of the snail from never ending story but mixed with the wish dragon falkor.




the strange fruit ensemble were just fabulous.





main stage: adam hall and the velvet playboys and the swingit! dancers.




then fliptease on the high trapeze... well parts of it were sort of high. and then other parts... i will just say, contortionist... eek!!










vulgargrad was a lot of fun. "old songs of the russian thieves, punk of the perestroika era and a dose of st. petersburg ska".






i went and got some dinner during vulgargrad and returned not only with a chicken gozmede but this...


strange fruit was up again after the russian gig. these are a melbourne-based group, who are just mesmerising.
















i went home not long after that... i was disappointed with the krumpers - though melis and al said they did improve. :) but i had a super day in all. thanks northbridge.
