Stand-Up at the Civic Pub
Tonight’s gig was another mixed bag. Dayne Rathbone and Aaron Pakula had some great material, with Rathbone getting some big laughs. I feel sorry for Kale Bogdanovs; he has one good Guess Who joke at the start of his act and then it’s pretty much crickets, yet he gets up at almost every stand-up gig in town and does the same philosophical intellectual material that completely misses the mark with the audience. Maybe he should stick to gigs at Mensa meetings and post-grad uni revues. Good thing Herbie and the Coleslaws were there to round out the night with their crude but hilarious songs.
Stand-up at the Civic Pub is on the first Wednesday of the month.
Brodburger on NCA Agenda
Canberra’s little red burger van that could – Brodburger – is on the agenda of this year’s National Capital Authority Public Forum at the Australian War Memorial theatre tomorrow night. This may be one of the last chances to voice your opinion on whether Brodburger stays or goes from Bowen Park.
It’s part of agenda item three, which is scheduled to kick off at 6.20pm. Agenda item three has eight community-nominated topics to discuss in 40 minutes; just five minutes each if the timekeeper is fair.
The Brodburger crew put a call out for supporters to join them at the forum:
We would like to encourage you to register to join us at the NCA public forum, as we will be discussing the future of Brodburger at Bowen Park. If you are able to attend registration can be made from the link below:
www.nationalcapital.gov.au/publicforumThank you again for your support.
I’m travelling and probably not going to make it back in time to attend. If you go along, I’d really appreciate an update in the comments as to how the discussion goes. Better yet, try and get some audio and/or video.

Gov Poo Point Oh
Last week Senator Xenophon raised an idea up the flagpole. Prime Minister Rudd looked up and smiled, but didn’t go so far as to salute. Xenophon’s proposal was to establish an ombudsman to lobby social networks in cases of public offence or outrage.
The EFA advised the government to ignore the trolls. Comments submitted against articles by the ABC and The Australian were dismissive of the idea, but I think there’s some potential here for easy money, so I’ve written to Sen. Xenophon and PM Rudd to apply for a job. After all, what’s hard about being told “no” all day?
