Day 14 - Our influence spreads (well, maybe...)

Evening', all.

Today has actually been a largely uneventful day, so this blog post will be quite short (quiet, you lot cheering in the back).  After running around seeing lots of shows yesterday - as you were all well informed by Naomi - it's been quite nice to have a relaxing day.

So, this morning Ronan's sister came to see the show, so there was a little family reunion there - she also used to live in Edinburgh, but I doubt she ever saw anything like 'Norman Shadowboxer' whilst she was here!  Much of the day was spent flyering, and whilst the rest of the company went to see the excellent 'Bane', I spent some time updating the website - particularly to include our reviews.  Huzzah!

Whilst out and about today, though, I did spot a couple of interesting things in shop windows...

The house model is made of cardboard - and inside is a lamp, incredibly similar to the shadow boxes we use in the show.  Unfortunately I didn't make a note of the shop this was in the window of - but it's pretty close to our venue, so I'll pop along again tomorrow to find out, and take another look.

The cityscape is also made up almost entirely of cardboard, and is one of a number currently on display at Schop  - an art gallery based just off the Royal Mile in Edinburgh.  The attention to detail is fantastic, and is yet another reminder of just what can be done with something as simple as cardboard.


Anyway, the reason I'm showing you all this - other than showing the amazing things you can build from cardboard - is because the childish part of me is imagining taking Norman to these places, and acting out a Godzilla-esque scenario where our hero towers above the world he inhabits.  If enough of you think it's a good idea, I'll pursue it


To be fair, that's probably as good a time to end as any.  Mainly because my delirious ramblings are suggesting I need to sleep.  Goodnight, world!
