   Finally have a little time to rest.The Electric Head shows went so well! They sold 28 tickets the first night, and 52 (two over capacity!) the second night. Not bad for their very first shows! People seem to either love it or don't get it at all, which can only be a good thing. I was doing lights as well as taking photos, Natalie did sound and lobsters. Pat, Pip & Dom came on friday, as well as Lydia and a friend (who seemed to think Pat was someone famous). One of Cy's friends was just in disbelief that it was Al's first ever performance. Pat said he "dug the shit out of it". Managed to make it back to Cy's friday night despite their drunken tube navigation. We lost one of Cy's friends on the way though, and when we found him again he seemed to think we'd lost him deliberately because he said he didn't like the show. Showed them the video then slept, then back into London early to meet up with Wendy, Lee & Dave for some wandering. Had a stroll around a market and saw giant mushrooms, sampled juices and olives, and discovered that apparently, "cheese never sleeps". Wandered round the South Bank, looked in gift shops, and saw a woman with an adorable soft puppy-head poking out a bag! She said it was only his second time out. I stroked him and she told him "see it's ok, everyone loves you!". So very cute. Looked at an exhibition about cities in the Tate Modern, then headed to the bar to meet up with lots of people before the show. There were 32 tickets pre-booked and we started getting worried that all our friends wouldn't get in!Al & Cy were more confident the second night, naturally, but it's weird how some things get big laughs one night but not the next, and vice versa. They were both fantastic though, and I'm very proud of them both! Needless to say, they'll be doing more shows in the near future.Went back to W's Saturday night, taking lots of the props with us. Then Sunday we went to a nearby car boot sale and got lots of super cheap things! I remember why I love car boot sales so much...I got clothes, books, a cool phone, food and a toastie-maker all for under £5. Wendy bought many books and teapots. Then Lee had to go and they said my idea of making a fake Lee and pretending he was still there was creepy, so we had tea and toast and played Once Upon a Time instead, with stories about talking cheeses. |
