Jason and Dave in Melbourne

Photos from a hectic two days in Melbourne.

It was great to have Jason Brown and Dave the Happy Singer in Melbourne.  On Monday the 20th of June Jason spoke about Skeptical Activism at our regular Skeptics Café. Jason showed how the internet could be used effectively to combat nonsense.  If I had to summarize the talk in a few words I’d say it was practical, informative and inspirational.

The following night (Tuesday the 21st) at The Clyde Hotel Carlton, Dave performed an excellent set of songs that made you think, laugh and sing along.  Later that, night both Jason and Dave did a live recording of their new podcast In Vino Veritas.  The new podcast is well worth a listen; find it here.

George Hrab at the Clyde

I should really have put this post up weeks ago but, sorry I’ve been busy, with work, blah blah…. I’m sure you don’t want to hear about it.  Anyway this post is a not-very-good attempt to re-live a great night, a bit of a pat on the back for the organizer, Catherine D and to show some nice photos.
And what a week TAM Australia Fringe was in Melbourne, with events on successive nights.   Beginning on Tuesday the 30th of November, George Hrab put on a great performance at the Clyde Hotel.
Self confessed “suit guy”, podcaster, composer and musician George Hrab was pleasantly surprised to find that he had so many fans in Melbourne. A crowd that numbered around 150, knew the words and joined in with enthusiasm.   What a fun night, lyrics that resonate with skeptics and rational thinkers, music and laughter – good stuff.
I recall talking to Terry Kelly after the event. He said:

That was great. I can’t believe it was a free event – I would have paid good money to see that!

(hint, Terry, don’t tell Catherine).
