The Long Drink Between Gigs

What am I drinking?
Well time really.
It's November and the last THMC gig was February but it's takes a while for things to get going.
So, two more sleeps until the next gig isn't a problem, in fact the hiatus hasn't been a problem either.
Time to make other stuff happen, pay some bills, travel, live life, survive living, and build some stuff to happen after all the current stuff has happened and will soon happen.
Am I being vague?
In short,Tawdry has had a digital revolution and is geared up to go touring and getting all of that done while he's not paying his way with this show, requires a lot of other work and life stuff to foot the bill and make the necessary changes he's made to THMC.

What do I know about time?
I can't hold it in my hand or control it any more than I can put a lid on it or pace it to suit my needs.
Nonetheless, on the balance of payments, it's been good to me.
The long drink between gigs has been quenching a thirst I was probably not fully aware I had.
Thanks time.

So, in two days the CANWA 25th birthday celebrations and hopefully I can tease out some juicy secrets from the world of WA community arts practice, well me or the flowing Champers!

Then it will almost be Xmas break and before I know it, the pre-flight check begin for touring in March 2011. In case you haven't heard, Tawds is touring Tassie as part of the Ten Days on the Island festival and also setting up shop at WOMAD in Adelaide. Very exciting....

Hopefully the folks in those place are up for getting off their collective chest and into some well typed words that will make us laugh, wince, frown and grin...

Time will tell.
