The Peace Train Goes Choo Choo.
Some months ago, we got a call at our office, saying that this group of people who run an annual festival, wanted to have a look at a tape of our play, Creeps.
Now Creeps is not a brilliant play. It has its moments, but its not the best thing after a freshly cleaned stage. Still, we sent it.
Then, we got a reply, saying tehy are very much interested, and will get back to us. A couple of months passed, no news. We thought it must be dead and gone by now. Then, out of nowhere, an email.
Dates. Sponsors. Visas. Tickets. Damned Indian Airlines. (eep. sponsor. scratch the damned.)
Things happen in a sequence of events. A chain. One moment, you're sitting in your office, in midst of a fishing village, wondering when the play'll maybe go to Germany, and whether you'll get to go as well, and the next thing you know, you're figuring out how to get Indian Airlines to give you 8 free tickets to Lahore.
So here's the scene. Today (technically), I, plus 6 others leave for Delhi. We meet 1 there. Then, the 8 of us leave for Lahore, Pakistan. Till the 28th. Lotsa numbers!!! WooHoo, I is thrilled. Or I am pretending to be.
Anyways, will be performing on the 25th, 26th at the Allhamra something (sorry, can't remember, hugely sleep deprived) in (where else) Lahore, as part of the THIS (it is too long to type thank you). And before you get ideas into your heads, I am the lights designer and the lights operator. It's cooler than acting, hmph.
But still, Gee, now you know who what why where when how.
Anyone who knows what to buy here, post comment, will try and check.
Anyone who wants something from there, post comment, will try and check. In case what you wished for is not bought, will pretend lack of computers in Lahore.
P.S.>> Saw Ralph Fiennes in the newest Harry Potty instalment. Delish. More importantly, brilliant, vile, evil, serpentine, beautiful, beautiful, effortless. I fall for him everytime. Ever since English Patient. Don't mind his brother either. Quite the dish too. Daniel too. Nice meal, that.

I'm not sure exactly when I'll be back. Mostly Dec 2006. If I'm lucky (and get my arm twisted badly enough by a marrying friend) then Jan 2006.
I just re-read your profile. Alfons Mucha. You like Alfons Mucha ... Holy crap all over again!
