partying 18 April 2009
Ah yes, it was just asking for trouble to say we cannot party like we used to – that’s clearly why the entire cast and Dublin crew of OCTOBER ended up in a Cork pub last night dancing to 80s tunes…then went back to the giant drink-selling hotel they live in and talked and laughed more. The dancing though was SUCH fun – disco will never die, I am delighted to say, and neither will we while it’s being lashed out for our delight. Of course my first remark on entering the bar was ‘this music is way too loud – I’m staying for one then leaving’ – CUT TO: two and a half hours later jumping around to ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’ – well they had their fun those girls alright and then had to face into 2 shows today. It’s between performances now and all a bit odd – the set is being sold off from under us (I kid you not – our stage manager has found new homes for EVERYTHING when the show ends) and I have a vision of the garden chair being snatched away as my fat ass gets off it for the last time and things disappearing during the show as they get their last run out!
