Costumes: Nat came as a belly dancer; Daniel wore lederhosen; and Katie was the Girl from Ipanema.
The Conversation Pit with Nat: The topic du jour was 'Do you speak a language other than English? And if so, can you tell us how to say "Fancy a shag?" in that language?' Katie speaks good French and passable Japanese; Nat has a smattering of French, German and Japanese; and Daniel knows some German. Listener contributions included Paul from South Melbourne, a former tram conductor who knew how to say 'Hello' and 'Thank you' in Japanese, Greek, Italian, German, Hindi and French; and a woman whose Turkish girlfriend had taught her to say 'I love you very much' in Turkish. Awww.
Katie's Clutch Purse: Information about the origins of some of the songs on the night's playlist.
