problemos 8 February 2009
Ah, the live show – who’d swap it?! and yet who’d want it sometimes, too…tonight we had a fairly major technical problem at the top of the 2nd half – the lighting board went down (and not in a good way…fnar fnar*) so a 2nd, new and spluckydoo and state of the art, board was thrust in (after the rebooting of the first system failed) and IT DIDN’T WORK either – the chances of that happening, believe me (in spite of the lies I have pedaled recently) are SO SLIM as to be not worth putting money on BUT TONIGHT WE HAD ‘EM. In the end, the old, nay ANCIENT, retiredcositwasn’tmodernandnew andspluckydoo board was resurrected and it put up sufficient light for us to continue. Lord love the audience, who had to sit like hostages while this happened (about 20 mintues?) but who, I am pleased to report, were engaged enough to do so.
*sorry…
I believe that in my absence from polite society (while holding over a thousand people hostage in a theatre…hmmm…that wasn’t wise, now that I look at it writ like that) the Irish whopped French Rugby Ass (or am I being too technical there*)
*I have certainly been too smug but life is shite here right now with the Recession etc so a little lift is most welcome. Pardonez moi, youse Francais?
