Whether it's stewarding at a festival, writing for a magazine, or producing works of art, volunteering for creative projects is bound to get those juices flowing.

Hello, C Venues Box Office, how can I help?

I've spent all day in the Box Office Admin area downstairs, manning the phones. It's been ringing nearly non-stop since 9am this morning and its only just gone 5pm.

Two nights ago, C Venues had a traditional Scottish night with a Ceilidh band and free whiskey. About 30 members of staff turned up and we all attempted to dance. It was great, if only because I'd never been to a ceilidh before.

My roommate Kim says she's going back home this Saturday; she hasn't enjoyed herself here. I think its her first time away from home, etc, etc. Danni has moved into our room; thankfully she comes back as late as I do, so I won't need to creep back in anymore.

Since I last updated, I have been to see Three's Company's Auditorium (very different), Maximum Entertainment Productions' The Great American Trailer Park Musical (amazingly professional performances and great plot), EHX's Trangression (an amazing freesports show), Dancing Brick's 21:13 (amazing beautiful piece!!!), Poison Whiskey Theatre's Who's Afraid of Howlin' Wolf (sexy, interesting and with some great lines, loved it), The Boom Jennie's Shindig (some sketches were funny. I'm really hard to please with comedy though. This means most people would probably love it), WitTank's Sexy Pudding (funnier than the Boom Jennies cos more of the stuff was relevant to my life) and Drumcat's Dream of Cats (six amazingly beautiful Korean women who can dance and drum amazingly well at the same time. Very intense performance and insanely cool).

Finally, I went to see Little Shop of Horrors for the first time ever. I thought it was very good but incredibly odd. They did the plant by having clothes yanked off the victims and they joined the first plant-man in green skin tight suits. Incredibly odd.

Yesterday it was my day off and it rained. It rained, and rained, and rained and so, I didn't get to sightsee Edinburgh at all. It's still raining today, I think it may rain forever. :(
