Well we're on. We're running. Fringe 08 has begun. Friday saw the first day of the monumentally massive 2008 New Zealand Fringe Festival, although quite a few shows already had a head start on the others (Sleep / Wake, we're looking at you!) and then we really kicked into gear over the weekend with a packed-to-the-gunnels gig Surfin' on the Fringe, featuring more surf rock than you could shake a tail feather at. The other big event for Fringe Central was the launch of the All New and certainly improved Chit Chat Lounge. The Chit Chat Lounge runs every night (except for Sundays and Mondays) from 10pm at The Paramount Theatre and hosts Derek Flores and Vinyl Burns with band the Flavour of Yesterday bringing you the essential oil, the inside word and the absurd birds for all things Fringe. It's a talk show, and it's damn good. Saturday's show saw 90 people lap up the bastard child of Letterman.
