Hey all you Surfers groovers and movers!

The countdown is on for the Surfers Paradise Festival which kicks off this Sunday with Launch It just South of Cavill Mall. Yves Klein Blue, Bertie Blackman and You Am I will all be there, so get your boogie boots on down there from 1pm to party like a rockstar!

And Launch It is just the beginning, with Lisa Mitchell appearing to put a coin in your laundry (Coin Laundry is the name of her most popular song for all those who haven’t kept up) on May 5 at a Beergarden performance. I don’t know about you guys, but I am just far too excited!

Now, for those of you who have religiously checked out the Surfers Paradise Festival website (http://surfersparadisefestival.com) and have been wondering what the heck “fringe” is, here is a a little definition for all you non-arty-farties…

Fringe (n.) : unofficial; not conventional in form.

So, the part of the website devoted to “The Fringe” events, is all those eclectic performances coming somewhat from left-field. You can call them alternative, contemporary or eccentric, but they are sure to hit you with the wow-factor and will be happening all throughout May and June. Definitely not to be missed, Fringe events are by far my favourite. I can’t wait to hear your responses from those of you who hit them up!!!

I know, billboards, posters and bus adverts for the SP Festival have shot up all around town recently, so none of you have got ANY excuse to miss it!!!

What else has been going on around Surfers in the past week? Come on, fill me in, give me some feedback, ask me some questions! That’s what I’m here for…

See you all on Sunday at Launch It
