Midsumma Opening Ceremony
Went to the start of Midsumma last night at Federation Square. We were meant to meet up with Trudi, couldnt see her but we did see Mystery Programmer who assured us that she had seen Trudi earlier on. Apparantly she was last seen riding off in one of those white electric chariots (that look a bit like a urinal on wheels to me)

What did you think of the opening ? Is it comparible to festivals in the UK...
I could say that I always like a big opening, but that would be crude so I won't. You ask how it compares to UK festivals: I like the fact that there are so many Midsumma events here, it goes over a few weeks. Pride in London is only really one day, a march followed by a park party, then its all over. So as usual Australia comes out on top. Thats why we're here.
We didnt stay long on Friday night, my foot was still sore, and there were a lot of speeches saying Midsumma was officially opened. I think I got mistaken for a lesbian, I was wearing baggy gear (which seemed more in common with the women than the men), and was given 'the eye' by one of the laddy-women!
Last year I liked the act done by someone wearing a dress, a painted on beard and miming to Kate Bush. Who was that?
