Flippin’ eck
Blah blah blah JOSH DARE blah blah blah Flip It.
Since Flip It flipped open its doors last Fliptember (otherwise known as August), this veritable Sunday night has flipped over weekends as we know it. And why wouldn’t it? Sunday night is the best night of the week to catch all the industry insiders – from bar managers to burger flippers – who have a whole weekend of partying to catch up on so are totally ready to flip out.
They’re not the only ones: PST (Pussy, Tabitha and Swish) go all out as well. While other clubs may force their acts to flip flop around silly rules about they can and can’t do, Flip It gives them free reign - so much so that both Pussy and Tabitha felt comfortable enough to flip off their wigs last week and flip them into the crowd. Don’t forget about ticket flipper Sue Ridge on the door, disc flipper Shawn King behind the decks and special guests and performers in the flip tank. Erm, I mean – fish tank.
As if that wasn’t enough, they’ve been flipping free goodies from their sponsors to lucky punters – everything from latest CDs from Sony BMG to free perfume to glow sticks.
And you can only expect it to get better as head Flip It honcho Miss Jane approaches her 10 year anniversary in the community this year. There’s sure to be many nights of flipping through the memories of Dome days to present to come, so make sure you flip off to the Peel every Sunday night until then and flip it all the way.
Flip It @ The Peel, every Sunday, 10pm-dawn.
