The Grahamstown festival has come and gone. Artists from all over the country braved the cold, the rain and the lack of posters to come together and show people there art. Since I couldn't go my only way of knowing what happened there is what I read on tweets and the like. From what I gather though, four artists in the comedy section won Standard bank Ovation awards. These awards are to ways to acknowledge artist for their excellence in the fringe section of the festival. There was only twelve (seven silver, two gold and three encore awards) given out so receiving one is no easy feat.
The Four artists are Rob van Vuuren, Stuart Lightbody, Martin Evans and a person I only know as Deep Fried Man. Make sure you check out these guys' shows if they are ever playing in your area. Congrats dudes!
On another note, office life is the bane of almost everyone's existence. Well, at least those that experience it on a daily basis. The mind numbing TPS reports do little to inspire and entertain. So we find ourselves browsing the internet for whatever entertainment we can find. One of my favorite hang outs is the webcomic, Bug. Updated five times a week this comic will give your brain a much needed dose of random humour it so rightfully deserves at 15:00 on a Monday afternoon. Give it a gander next time you feel the meaningless of you existence slowly fade away.

What? That hint of despair is normal for this time of year.
