MCV 258 – Wonderland
It’s a Wonderland life
JOSH DARE does his best to get fired.
In an effort to be the super speedy journalistic type that, deep down inside, I know I should be; I thought I could just bang out this article in one long hit and perhaps call it art. So the first thing that came out was naturally a typo. "Wonderload". It made me giggle and think of porn. The distraction then made me forget what I was going to talk about, so I ended up googling coz, you know… beats working.
Aside from the obvious, did you know that our favourite little club night shares it name sake with not one, but three theme parks? One here, one in Canada, and one called ‘Dutch Wonderland’ that’s oddly in Pennsylvania’s Amish country and owned by the Hershey company. Then I saw they’re throwing ‘Dutch Winter Wonderland’ and… ah yeah! Remembered what I’m meant to be talking about.
Get set for ‘I’m dreaming of a Wonderland Christmas’ from our very own Melburnian Wonderland. After tonight and next Friday’s usual parties, there’ll be a small rejig of night just for the festive season. Wonderland’ll be closed on its usual Friday nights for December 23 and 30, instead opening on Christmas Day night (which sounds a little Katn and Kim-esque, but it’s Sunday December 25) with plenty of Santas Lil Helpers – including Mr Wonderland himself Jono Francisco. So if you need to escape that pitiful medley you call a family this Christmas, there’s no better place to be.
