No Fun

[ltmurnau]

From today's paper, I'll spare you the full quote:

"The demise of Open-Air adds to an already-gaping hole in the summer arts schedule. Organizers recently cancelled both the Latin Caribbean Festival and FolkFest, which TNT also produced for the Inter-Cultural Association."

I'll bet Luminara gets cancelled this year too, or at least has another funding crisis. See http://ltmurnau.livejournal.com/68027.html from 2005, when it was almost cancelled.

[edit from an earlier story: Symphony Splash apparently did get another sponsor, so it looks like a go]

Anyway, as I said a while back, Victorians are always up for a party, as long as there are significant amounts of other people's money involved. Otherwise they'll stay home and complain about how there's nothing to do.

I was just saying this morning how it was looking like this would be the summer without festivals. It's odd... but these things go in cycles.

I usually don't go to festivals, even Luminara wasn't much fun last year, but I don't sit at home complaining either. It just seems to be all of a piece with how Victoria makes Victorians.

I wonder if the Inter-Cultural Association itself is falling on hard times.
