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.

You'd think I'd be all theatre-d out by now...

But I'm not!

Last night I went to see Precarious' The Factory at The Zoo (a different theatre venue). A bunch of us went and couldn't help but compare The Zoo to C Venues. I was amazed that they only had one box office window. We have six in C Main and its always packed! They have a Cabaret Bar too but their's looks like a café whilst ours is an actual bar.

I also went to see Happyland (odd), Dragon Lady: Being Anna May Wong (I didn't have a clue who AMW was before I went it, I really should've done some research), a college production of The Rat Pack, Live! (good keyboardist. He looked really young to be that good, which is impressive), Darning Jilly (insanely creepy and terrifying. I want a copy of the script to pour over so I can digest it better), What's Wrong with Angry? (good play, very much of its time with the whole Section 28 and controversy thing) and You Need Me's How It Ended (stunning, simply stunning post-war romance which ends sadly. Heart-warming and heart-breaking and wonderful).

Last Sunday was Fringe Sunday, a sort of Day-in-the-Festival at the Meadows (large patch of green). As I was on a night shift, I spent a few hours of the afternoon down there. Essentially, there were loads of street (grass?) performers and performance tents.

Here are some pics, I'm quite pleased with the one where I caught the hat mid-toss from toe to head.

As you can see, it was actually sunny. It rained for over 48 hours a few days ago. You wouldn't think it was meant to be summer.

Once again, I'm in the Urban Garden box office on my own. Most FOHBOs hate it out here as its outside and therefore can be cold or rainy, but I think its worth it. It's quiet and calm. I have the internet, a kettle, a large box of teabags and the occasional visitor.

Sooo, back to chilling out in my little hut (the one I "built" a while back) and just having an easy day.
