Our national arts festival is in town. During this time our sleepy university town almost doubles in size. Police are shipped in and new electricity grids are hooked up. I arrived in the middle of it all on Saturday after returning from ISSA. I have seen very few performances as I am currently trying to write my thesis, although Hostile Takeover deserves a special mention. There is some great coverage of the whole event by Daniela and her New Media team mates at their Grahamstown Festival page.
