Aha! Faces to names...

Some kind but misguided soul sent me a vid of the last ABC event, so youngest sprog and I (after much cursing due to mutual inability to hook up video) sat down to watch it.

Well...so now I know what you all look like! Larf, or what (sorry folks, nothing to do with personal appearances - well, not much anyway)! Nobody ('cept Liana and Fishcake, 'cos I already knew what they looked like) looked anything like I'd imagined. More detailed description can be optained by sending a blank cheque and a grovelling email to...

The readers were brilliant, especially Liana, Barenib and Eddie (oh bugger, there WERE only 3 readers), but what I found remarkable was the difference it made listening to the poems (many of which I'd read here) as opposed to reading them on the screen. Eddie and Barenib's stuff cracked me up (I hope it was s'posed to!) and L was VERY...er...dramatic (loved the piercing, by the way).

Liana will no doubt be delighted to know that I'm on the way to becoming a convert. Well, a slight exaggeration, perhaps, but I WAS highly impressed.

Ta, guys, an extrmely entertaing 45 mins...

Oooh, and thanks for saying 'hello' as well - I was dead chuffed and Sprog thought it was hilarious.

Don't go getting upset Ralph, you ARE on the video in full technicolour. I actually taped all the abc lot and a couple of earlier contributors, the pair who played and sang and a 'reader' of indeterminate origin. The camera work was a litle bit suspect at times, partly because the operator had to contend with having his @!#$ pinched by an anonymous taler! I didn't edit anyof it because there was only 45mins of tape in all, split between the Poetry Cafe and the pub on the corner. The end result was brightened up considerably by some creative camera work contributed by a fishy person.

Huffily withdraws from all conversations, as there were 4 women present at the said abc event. Fish and Liana always get the fame, whilst us other two are ignored yet again. HUH.

Whatever did happen to the photos that were taken by Tony (Diana Bird's Tony) a few months ago? I distinctly remember posing with Mr. Dartford.

Would that be one page between you or one page each? Just trying to ascertain whether your respective modesties are half page size or whole whole page!

Next time we need two cameras. One for the official version of events, and the other for a "making of the film of the official version of events." Coppola has made an entire career out of that very notion. Why not us?
