Back on the bike and riding with no particular destination in mind, which means I keep finding myself in scary bits of suburbia like Bexleyheath, a place which holds a special terror for some of us. Here's the much more welcoming Aylesbury Estate, where I lived for a while, just next to Burgesss Park, which was holding a Vietnamese festival at the weekend.
Shelly's animation night was a great success and raised £215 for Resonance. The films went down really well, with 'Panic Au Village' being the popular favourite of the night and deservedly so, for truly it is a work of great genius and extremely funny to boot. However, the dark profanity of the last two films - 'Who I am and what I want' and Episode 1 of 'The Christies', may have alienated some of the audience a little bit. In our enthusiasm for these two films we perhaps forgot that they're not everyone's hot beverage, but fortunately the collection boxes had already gone round in the interval and no-one asked for their money back. Michael marshalled the whole evening with great aplomb and plenty of references to crack cocaine and bodily function. Mercifully he didn't carry out his threat to tell his Michael Jackson joke.
Rehearsed with the Bentleys last night for our three(!) sets at the Lambeth Country Fair this weekend (rain permitting!). Ric was very impressively soldiering on with his thousand instruments in spite of a suspected fractured rib sustained in a go-kart accident. As if that wasn't challenging enough, we were also in a particularly smelly room. It seems that one downside of the smoking ban is that the rank odours lurking within rehearsal studios once concealed by the sweet aroma of fag ash have now been given free reign to rise to the surface. Yuk.
