Whether it's stewarding at a festival, writing for a magazine, or producing works of art, volunteering for creative projects is bound to get those juices flowing.

Who's up for a morning hike?

Belt Up! Theatre company had a party in the Red Room for staff and company two nights ago and we finished off the night by clambering up Arthur's Seat at 4am to watch the sunrise. It was just bizarre because there was such a random mix of people, ranging from the Belt Up! crew to the C Venues staff, the Bastard Children of Australian Folk (a band playing at C Central's Cabaret Bar), and one half of Max and Ivan (a comedy duo at C Cubed).

Danni, Victor and I eventually made it back to our flat at 7:30am and I had to be at work for the day shift at 8:30am. That bit was awful but the entire night was incredibly awesome.

As C Venues have a deal with a few other theatre spaces, Sadie and I went to The Zoo to watch Samurai Spirit for free. Halfway through, she was called up on stage to try out her samurai moves:

The last few days have been a bit manic. The Fringe festival itself ends today and everyone is celebrating. Quite a few people are leaving to go back to the real world but I'm still here for another 4 days.

Yesterday was the final day of performances and C Venues had a staff-and-company party at the Cabaret Bar and it was absolutely packed. Everyone was looking a little worse for wear this morning.

It was also my last day as a FOHBO. No more ticket sales, refunds or phone bookings to deal with.

Kim, my roommate is a technician and she's been doing completely different work to me. She had to sit in during shows in case something goes wrong and was responsible for cleaning her theatre space. This involves a lot of sweeping and mopping but not anymore, as its get-out time now.

All the theatre companies are gone, we're no longer open to the public, lots of C Venues staff have headed home to university or work or just to avoid getting their hands dirty and so, C main is incredibly quiet. However, there's no time to rest, we are working 24 hours, in shifts to clear everything out by the 29th.
