I write from the couch of our appartment as the rest of the company watch "Up." I have made the point before, but it's worth reiterating, that PIxar should really one day employ me and this company to do an animation for them...they just don't know it yet! On a more serious note, as a writer, I really appreciate what Pixar do. Pixar tell good stories. That's all I ever want this company to do. It's refeshing to know that and it's comfort to know there is a massive company like Pixar making wonderful films (note "films", not just "animations" - they make excellent films).
From the big screen to the small stage. Myself and Naomi were lucky enough to catch the first performance of The River People's "Terrible Tales of The Midnight Chorus." Excellent piece of theatre, highly recommend it, some lovely ideas and the music re-awakened ideas of the idea we've been mulling over for our new show... more on that another time.
Some hard flyering today also, but managed to get lots of people to book tickets - so we should have a nice number of people in tomorrow. Considering the average audience for the Fringe is 4 people per performance, we're really proud to be beating that average by a long shot! Let's hope it continues.
Looking forward to getting some reviewers feedback next week, and if our response at the Meet the Press event yesterday is anything to go by we should get good media coverage. Fingers crossed!
Looking forward to tomorrow's performance and getting into the rhythm of Edinburgh Fringe Week One.
