Well, what do you know?

I've been elected the new Chair of the Board of Melbourne Fringe. This should be interesting...

Pardon my ignorance, Richard, but what does that entail? And I take it you've been involved in the festival previously?

Richard, after your recent comedy marathon/personal endurance test, no-one could ever question your commitment and true dedication to the arts!

Well done!

Look at you, Mr. Arts Melbourne!

congratulations, lovely. With all your hard work and champining of all things arty in Melbourne I couldn't think of anyone better!

Paul - it means I've become the Chair of the festival's Board of Management, which oversees and guides the organisation. It's a visioning, long-term-goal attaining, speech-making, sponsor-schmoozing sort of role.

avi, donald, elaine, kp - you're too, too kind. let us drink french champagne together some time soon.
