hitches 10 February 2009
Hitches were there none this evening – none! huzzah!
Seems this blog makes news, though, as whatever I say here gets filtered into The Newspapers – e.g. apparently an evening paper this evening in Dublin declared I was PRAYING for no hitches on tonight’s OPENING of ‘October’ (we open Wednesday) and said that we’d had a POWER FAILURE which plunged THE AUDIENCE into darkness on Saturday night (not QUITe what I’d reported but Interesting/Inaccurate and, hey, it made The News and had a photo an all of me and Vic Smurfit – all publicity, me dears.
Great show tonight, I am happy to report, and more to follow, we trust.
I am tempted to print a HUGE LIE now to see how far it disseminates but cannot think of an interesting enough one…leave that with me – a bit of mischief is always welcome…
I don’t think the builders will be done by Saturday, as newly scheduled, by the way…NOT GOOD
Such shocking stuff from Australia – poor people fleeing and still being caught by the fire. It does a strange thing to me to know that this may have been maliciously started, in that I really do understand that punishment will never solve the awfulness of this for those who have lost people. I don’t believe in Capital Punishment but I can see how it gains currency in these dreadful and incomprehensible times.
