Thanks! Personally, I prefer the term ‘silly’. But it’s great that you understand. I was worried that that it would be hounded by the kinds of people who say thing like “Monty Python makes no sense. What rubbish”.

Sad to hear that the poster is not your cup of tea. Personally, I love it. It’s by a local artist who graduated from the ANU School of Art with first class honours. http://robbiekarmel.wordpress.com/
If you’re having trouble reading the band names, I can organise a ‘safe’ poster for you. Like those phones with huge buttons old people have.
P.s. And whoa whoa whoa, I never mentioned anything about the event being ‘funky’.
kind regards to you and your gang of 12 year old prodigies,
Bloviate
I was thinking that if you need your dad to pick you up then you are probably too young to be at the Phoenix.
In addition, the logo thing looks like bunyip skull.

huh?
“theer”? “There”, for goondess sake “there”.
It’s enough of a conceptualist pun without me adding to it.
The poster is actually very clever, looking at the title it actually reads;
“Heydad, can you pickme up from Josh’s, other wise It’s like two buses”
You don’t have to be Sherlock Holmes to work out the crafty hidden message theer!
Here’s the opposing POV: what a stupid name for a festival. Not to mention the illiterate-looking design of the poster. The event might be cool, but the advertising certainly gives no hint of that being the case. Nothing wrong with being funky and quirky, but I know 12-year-olds who be embarrassed to produce something looking like that, especially since you can’t even figure out the performers’ names.
More bands added. R_____ K_____, Love Shy and Killing Birds.
More to come in the future too
