Berry Open Call - Parade

With the Tree Veneration Society I was in a parade in Berry last month. Berry is a sort of small town with one street and two pubs, so typically Australian. In the parade we all wore bird masks. The parade was led by the Femmes Fatales.

I stayed in a motel with two cockroaches and no charge cord for the phone. To charge the phone I sat in the car for two hours in the carpark. It was my fault the charge cord was missing I had forgotten to pack one.

There was also a workshop led by some people from Sydney. I'm not sure what it's about but something to do with writing to MPs regarding climate change. Actually after getting back to Sydney I planned to attend another session but unfortunately had no time.

The parade was also neglected. I am not sure the message was clear. Something about trees, nature and the arts. There was no media. The organisers did a great job though bringing together so many people.

The Femmes Fatales are quite fun. Burlesque has for a while been popular in cultural scenes around the world. Personally I'm not a big fan but then again I find it hard to distinguish between heavy metal and Mozart. So I'm probably not the best person to judge music of any kind.

I only stayed for one night. The accommodation was adequate. The footpaths are a bit dangerous when it's raining though. A couple of times I had to catch myself before falling.
