From the ACT impro website: Impro Theatre ACT’s players are always hyperactive, so we figured we’d feed them too much sugar and see what happens! Sugar high is a completely improvised show where teams of performers will compete in short scenes to win lollies for you, the audience. Sure to be hilarious and hectic, Sugar High is playing for one night only at the Street Theatre, 7:30 pm on the 25th of February. Tickets $18 ($15 concession).
Due to an enviable amount of truly dull spam-type comments against our posts (>50 in a couple of hours), i’ve added some words to the blacklist (yes, censorship!) and made it so you need to put in an email address to post. Rest assured, it’s words you’re very unlikely to use unless you’re posting about your online pharmacy, and that we’ll do nothing with your email address (legitimate or not). We’re too lazy.
If you haven’t heard of tropfest you must be from Brisbane. Tropfest is the worlds largest short film festival. Tropfest is held in outdoor cinemas in capital cities across Australia on the last Sunday in February each year.
More details on the Canberra event will be announced when they come in. In the meantime check out http://www.tropfest.com/
UPDATE: Scheulde and location announced. Tropfest will be help at stage 88 Commonwealth Park. Festivities start at 5pm with the first film kicking things off at 7:45. Bring a rug and a pillow for your bottom, its sure to be a great night.
If, like many PANTSters, you like fun, then this may be just the ticket. At 7:30pm next Sunday Feb 25, you can see the antics of “Sugar High” at the Street Theatre.

Thanks Matt!
This is my most anticipated event on the Multicultural Festival calendar. If you haven’t been, then get on it.
Garema Place, Saturday 17 February 6pm
Do you fancy freezing your nuts off watching people smash each other into walls whilst a chasing a hockey puck? If you do, then read on.
All jokes aside, ice hockey is a fantastic spectator sport and a great afternoon out in the Canberra Capital in Winter. The Canberra Knights have just announced their playing schedule for 2007. So if you are interested, get the dates from us, as their website needs a bit of work.
PANTS tips on watching Ice Hockey:
Schedule for Home Games at Phillip Ice Skating (all games start at 5:30 unless specified):
With February almost passed, and March approaching quickly, I thought it might be a good idea to highlight upcoming fun in case it’s missed on our very average calendar on the right side of the page.
PANTS endorsed:
Also, some of us have enrolled in CIT courses from the iconic ‘yearn to learn 2007‘ post. Flying lessons and African Drumming. Can there be a better combo?
yay. Add to the list in the comments, or even better subscribe to PANTS by email. It’s what all the cool kids are doing.

[Updated: LukeO Review]
It was claimed to be the best idea of summer 2007. I bet the question everyone is asking ‘did it deliver to this hype?’ Well in the words of a fat Australian, ‘I’m excited’ to bring you the news: Deliver it did!!! To sum up the amazing race in one word: Fantastic.
It had it all. Drinking; driving; drinking; bowling; gambling; security guard chases; drinking and a mad dash at the end. Well more of a slow mosey at the end, but even then we seemed to go from 4th spot to 3rd, as the other team called into the TAB to place a bet!
I am glad to announce that the PANTS team came in 3rd or 4th (not sure as the team that won it had 7 members, so I guess that’s two teams).
Seriously it was fun had by all. 9 teams entered and all finished in various states of intoxication. Certainly by the time everyone left the last pub, everyone was shit faced! For the amazing race photos check out below in our photo section or http://www.flickr.com/photos/95671457@N00/ for the photos from the event organisers. For full details on the events and run down will be posted on www.amazingcanberrarace.com in the future, so check it out.
PANTS team highlights:
Team Sipowiz getting detained by the Labour club security squad.
Some great driving by DaveO to sling shot us from Last place to 3rd in an amazing dash from Belconnen to Wig and Pen
Overtaking Team Sipowitz on every car leg of the race
LukeO wasting no time in sinking a ball off the break in the first shot of pool and performing a Andy Bichel celebration jump
Megan taking a grand total of 5 attempts to get a breath-a-lizer machine to work
Kate being able to have over 3 beers, a shot of schnapps and a shot of vodka and still being able to blow 0.000 on the breath-a-lizer machine
Watching a mini people boxing match and not realising it until the ref came into the ring
Copious drinking at the final destination.
There is promise to be more amazing races in the future, so be ready for the call up.
I saw these guys back when Canberra had its own blues festival. To say they have their own style of music is to say Australia have a good chance of winning the one day cricket. Its different, its energetic and they certainly rock.
Get down to Civic square on Friday 9 February at 11pm or Garema on Saturday 10 at 2pm or 11pm.
