For the second year in a row it was huge, as 200 film buffs met and competed at the Espy. No quarter asked and none given — and we all had a very good time.
-
fortyfivedownstairs fundraiser
fortyfivedownstairs is an important part of Melbourne's arts, music and theatre scene and the space was packed on the night. It was great to have a live music round with Aaron Richard. Good company and good fun.
- '60s Trivia at the NGV
What a great night! Lots of laughs and food and drink — and more 60s trivia than the Beatles could write a song about. There were some wonderful prizes too. The evening was part of the NGV's Art & the 60s exhibition.
- Brains Behind the Games
Brains Behind the Games was an on-line trivia competition for corporate employees, with the top thirty scorers bringing a team from their company to town for a spectacular live finale. A great night with a guest appearance by Olympic and Commonwealth Games diver, Loudy Tourky. Law firm, Minter Ellison won the night.
- Trivia At The State Library
This free event was part of the Victorian Art After Dark Open Day programme. A diverse group had lots of fun as well-known Melbourne personality Janet A McLeod hosted an entertaining trivia night in the historic State Library of Victoria.
- Fringe Trivia Challenge III
The third Fringe Trivia Challenge packed North Melbourne Town Hall with bodies and noise as the Melbourne International Arts Festival won their second trophy in three years. There are fears that they are going to be insufferable over the coming year. A great night
A unique event in Melbourne's cultural life, the Fringe Trivia Challenge is probably the only time that most of Melbourne's major festivals and other arts groups get together socially. Competition is intense and alcohol is consumed.
Each year, Melbourne Fringe challenges Melbourne International Arts Festival, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Melbourne International Film Festival, the Malthouse, Midsumma, Circus Oz, Next Wave Festival, PBS FM Radio, the Spiegeltent, St Kilda Festival and invited arts media to a trivia contest.
MIAF won the first challenge in a thrilling tiebreaker with Midsumma then, after winning in 2004, Fringe were unbearably smug. Midsumma have left, once again vowing revenge!
