And so I return. Apologies for the absence but I have been a travelling bee - and then I've just basically been trying to figure out where the hell to start with what's been going on.
Soho Slam
So yeah - the Slam was rocking fun. Particular favourite pieces for me were "Does The Pope Smoke Sope", "The Interview" (belonging to the multi-talented RocketLeafSalad), "Adventures in a Yoghurt Shaped Pot" (which won, darn it), and "Bus Stop" (poetry at its best). Yeah, arrived to discover there was a whole voting system - which only served to increase my sweating rate. Seriously, I sweat so badly when watching my own stuff - it's weird. I'm not a naturally sweaty sweaty person. But my piece went down well, which left me breathing a little easier, but the sweat thing has a tendency to continue once its started. Especially since we had a whole row of ASBOs behind us (yeah, heckling youths - always entertaining in a theatre). Was nice to find that the writer of the winning piece (AIAYSP) said he voted for mine. (I'm afraid I couldn't return the sentiment, as me and RocketLeaf entered into a disgraceful vote swapping scheme, but he seemed like a jolly nice bloke). I also discovered that I was only one vote behind the winning piece. This wouldn't be a rather amusing piece of info if one of my party (Mr Goulden Moments, ahem) hadn't decided to vote for another piece he felt sorry for. Tut. Actually, it's fine, cause the ASBOs heckled the winning piece (they wanted their mate to win), and I don't think I could've handled the critics!!! Anyway, thanks out to Momo, Popo, Sianodel, Mr Goulden (Ahem), Small Yappety Dog and Filmy Alex for making the journey over to see the show.
Next day saw my driving back up north with Momo and Popo for numerous northern Sunday activities. Sunday morning held the auditions for Waking. If not a little predictably we cast the fabulous Tom and Rachel - both of whom played Julian and Louise in "Technically Speaking" last August - for those of you who saw it, below is a reminder:
 . Me and BronTOne also made a decision to sneak the 5 minute version of "Keeping Annabelle" in, following on from its "Soho Success", casting the lovely Mike (another Technically Speaking talent in the form of Paul):
and hopefully also Comedy Sportzer KT, who we haven't had performing on the Chorley stage for far too long (what with being an Oxford boffin these days):
 .
Sunday evening was Mr Gregorian's 30th birthday jubilations - and since it was his 30th, of course I had to give him children's toys. There's no other way. Also finally got to meet the delicious Southern Bird, but unfortunatly she and Stig could not stay long as their poorly dressed mate couldn't get in the bar (only the most exclusive bars for Gregorian's birthday dontchaknow). Spent a lovely night and brunch with Tall Boy - cut irritatingly short by my need to travel back to London to return a dumb ass skirt that was broken.
Break here - a Cheesy reunion, more auditions and holiday fun to come!
