I had thought to start this post with an explanation/justification of why I have neglected this blog for more than a year. But you know what? Fuggit. It's not interesting and no one cares. The glittering highs and shit-smeared lows of my recent past won't even make a footnote in The Bigger Scheme Of Things. So really, fuggit.
What's new is a solo I just made for myself in Amsterdoomed. I was there for most of June working towards presenting 10 minutes of new solo material for a mixed program in Klub X over on NDSM called Freaky Vaudeville. Despite the "challenging conditions" I think I managed to make at least a decent start in a direction I intend to push/pull forward.
The solo is called Absolutely Anything and is mostly about how language fails, how shit happens for no reason, and how you shouldn't trust someone wearing a suit. Thanks to Babs and Bunny for shooting hugely incompatible videos of the premier that I had the profound displeasure of trying to cut together into a passable registration. What I did learn is that you can eliminate colour balance issues by eliminating colour. Here's a link to that edit -

As I say, I intend to develop and expand this into something much bigger and better.
In the mean time I welcome the feedback and comments of all you good folk out there, and in the spirit of Shameless Self Promotion inherent in Social Me!-dia, please do let me know of any festivals/theatres/weddings/bahmiztfahs/funerals that you know of where I might present this work.
More when there's more. Probably.
