#2 fedorapirate Feb 14, 2010 10:55:38	Are you talking about Tripod an australian Comedy trio (yes there are only three of them), who sing about general nerdery and have shown themselves to have an interest in D&D a few times (just look at their website) in the past. You can find there song all about the topic at www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IgVPnhmVNE Also just fixing up a few things (as an Australian I feel obliged to, sorry). Sydney is spelt with a y, and tripod are far too small to play at the opera house regularly, they generally play at moderate sized comedy venues. Edit: Just had a quick look and Tripod vs the Dragon is by the same guys I mentioned above; you can find the trailer for it at www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjzI-3iDje4 Currently tickets are avalible for folks in Adelaide or Melbourne - blog.3pod.com.au/?p=53 Luckily I live in Melbourne and jsut booked my tickets so thanks Monstro for the heads up.

Yes, that was them.  The show was incredible.  I think they probably should have sold tickets by order of height though.  We sat down in front of 2 12 year olds.  It was like putting ogres in front of hobbits.  Eventually, we switched our seating arrangement to make the show more kid friendly.

#5 monstro Feb 14, 2010 16:48:59	Not to contradict you, but I think they are playing the Sidney Opera House later this year.  Go to www.sydneyoperahouse.com/about/program_s... . Just FYI.  I'm in Massachusetts and pretty far from Australia.  Although, as it's 20 degrees or so here (Farenheit), does it count if I wish I were in Australia?
#6 fedorapirate Feb 14, 2010 18:45:22	Oh I know they've played there in the past and will probably play there again, but it's not their regular showing grounds due to the sheer size of the venue; when they are there it's generally a "for one night" only type deal, where as other locations they might do a run lasting a couple of weeks. But this is now very off topic with something that hardly matters, can we admit that either a) we were both kinda right (or right enough) and/or b) it doesn't really matter in the end?
#7 monstro Feb 15, 2010 9:27:36	Oh yeah, sure.  I just thought you'd like to know about them at the Sidney opera house in case you lived near it.
