Just back in my room at the Ramada Birmingham Oldbury and typing this on the tiny keyboard of my new toy. But all this is mear tangental obfuscation, the real substance of this post is as follows.

Pilot 15 was a wonderfully mixed bag of performance styles. Kicking off with the a more traditional offer from Untied Artists, ladies and gentlemen- A Play no less. The best thing about these extracts from The Glassworks was the swearing 10 year old and the other worldly segments featuring him and a mirror. www.jakeoldershaw.com

That's right:

"I've heard good things about The Wonder Club, one of Bristol's resident companies, which is staging a piece called At Tether's End for just four performances [this] week."

The Wonder Club have been mentioned not just once but twice in the past month on the What To See This Week posts on Lyn's Blog.

So if for some unknown reason you haven't got yourself a ticket yet then do so today (via the Tobacco Factory Box Office on 0117 9020344) for the excellent At Tether's End by those lovely folks over at The Wonder Club. They've been up all night for the last week getting it all ready, the least you can do is turn up and enjoy.

My best bits of advice are to explore the building there are plenty of people and situations you can get involved in and the only way to make the most of it is to really engage with them.

Well it's probably not worth blogging but i have dumped my Myspace profile so if you want to be my friend then you'll have to do it via that other social networking site just search for my name and take it from there. Alternatively and indeed additionally you can subscribe to the RSS from this site for full updates on whatever i think is important enough to write about.

Well now I really feel like I'm living in the 21st century. I have just gotten myself the new G1 phone from T Mobile / Google / HTC and what a wonderful gadget it is. Running on Google's Android operating system this little beauty now means I can surf the web, check prices via barcodes, listen to and identify music, plan my day, pretend to be Mario, play the drums and annoy my girlfriend all at the same time, whilst walking down the street.

May we all bathe in the blueish light of low level radiation together.

It has been an interesting few days. I have had a whole bunch of thoughts about work that i want to make. First of all i'm going to make a short film. The basic idea will be to present ten short second allegorical scenes each one being a single short held for a duration of 30 seconds. It will be made for online release only, because of the limited tricknology i will have access to, and the ease with which it can be released.

Well now, i have just got this module on my site to work properly so now, (if you have flash installed) you will be able to listen to the sound of my voice, without me actually being present or talking to you on the phone. Lucky old you I say.

Well that was interesting, I did a performance of The Middle Bit as an almost totally audience driven improvisation session. It was interesting but might have had a tendency to become white noise rather than a symphony. Next time, as every time, I will do a few things differently. I learnt a lot, which is the idea, this time it was the more subtle suggestions that, on reflection, were the most interesting. Namely John Arbuckle seeing his own death and having a happy thought.

I'm looking for suggestions about what treatments i should try out for my rubbish back that won't stop hurting down the left side and in a band across the base, and i am seeking these suggestions from you, dear reader of my blog. Please add them as a comment to this post.

It's all about me, no really, it's just me that's all there is. Theatre Bristol has just launched their new site and the old listings have not been transferred so right now I'm the only person who makes theatre in Bristol. Kudos to me!
