I must say that Edinburgh is rather a nice place. The entire concept of putting a castle on a hill, building a huge train station next to it, and then trying to fit all the other usual town stuff (shops, roads etc.) around it on not-exactly-level ground is quite an amusing one. It's not exactly very warm, but that's good, because that means more people come and see our show.
If you're in Edinburgh at the moment, you want to be going to C venues at about 2:50 on any day of the week between now and September. We're in the -1 venue (basement) and will try not to take very much money off you.
The flat I'm in with about 5 other people is rather nice, quite large and everything in the kitchen works. Problem is that it's on the 3rd floor, which is a pain for getting stuff up the stairs. That said, the views are quite good.
As far as the show itself is going, we open in about 2 hours. After flying to Scotland at a stupidly early time, we arrived to do a tech rehearsal at midday. With a timeslot of 4 hours, and a charge of £10 for every minute we went over, I came to the rapid conclusion that the tech would be a bit inadequate. As it turned out, we didn't get everything done that we needed to, and so the dress rehearsal (yesterday) was a bit shambolic. Still, today should be interesting.
Add to that I'm on holiday (again!!!) in a few days :)
I'm in Amsterdam. I'm not quite sure how this happened, but I suppose it went something along the lines of getting on a plane and coming here. Quite hot and sunny here, and a good break from the rainyness that was Scotland. Off to find "cake".
Edinburgh station is the most peculiar railway station in Britain. It makes absolutely no sense, and it should be a river. The platforms are numbered entirely randomly, so that it's impossible to predict where platform 20 is, becuase it probably isn't anywhere near platform 19. I'm musing on this subject because I have about an hour to wait for the next London train, which will probably be both full and late, and I won't get a seat.
Besides that, the show's finished and made a decent profit despite nasty reviews, so I'm mildly happy. Photos from here and Amsterdam will be up shortly. Promise.
The only things I now have left to do in my life is find a house, a job, and lunch, two of which aren't necessarily easy. Should be interesting trying though. Bah.
