BLOWN FUSION! IT COULD HAVE BEEN A NIGHT OF CELEBRATING GREAT YOUNG FOLKS DOING POSITIVE THINGS IN A CITY THAT DESPERATELY NEEDS YOUNG PEOPLE TO DO GREAT THINGS. But it was more a night of old people telling young people to take scads of public money in a huge dump truck onto the old Herald site and burn it in a huge, pointless bonfire. Metaphorically, of course. BRIGHT, FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Once the green flag was waved, it was a slow start, with Premier Dull Dexter zombiemoaning between belches about the “mess we’ve inherited” and how not building a new convention centre was “not an option.” Mayor Peter Kelly, with his foot a little firmer on the gas, and a slightly less symmetrical face, said he’d give anything for one night alone with a new convention centre. Stomachs churned. We’ll list the awards in a little box somewhere, and you can get as much entertainment from reading them as we got spending an hour hearing them. The horrible crash during the event happened when Parker was stopped because he’d gone so fast that the people running the AV material needed 10 minutes to catch up. He joked awkwardly about them sucking at their jobs, stood 24 ATLANTIC CANADA FRANK DECEMBER 7, 2010 Franken-Derek Simon (left), lawyerwith BurchellHayman Parish and Fusion’s legal beagle, charms one guest and seems to horrify another. quietly for three minutes, asked the AV team if they were ready, then started a joke about a woman running horrified from him because she thinks he’s going to rape her, and he thinks they’re having a foot race. True punchline: hilariously tepid response to a rape joke in an event for an organization that seems to be mostly young women. The AV club figured out their presentation, more people won, and I longed for a fifth beer. At the end, the event organizers went up and got teary about their pride in the organization. Director of events Bobbi Jo Hawkes cried when she was talking about setting up the GO event. Co-chair Leslie Chandler played it cool. Monica Njoku knocked Leslie Chandler’s champagne glass off the podium, spilling broken glass and champagne everywhere. He didn’t say it at the end, but I think Parker summed it up best when he said: “Everyone Uh, hahahah, like, isn’t Fusion, sooooo, like, great?!? here is here for the free food. Nobody cares.” Not many laughs for that one, either. Maybe because the food was iffy, and maybe because jokes that ring true can cut deep.
