The actual show begins tomorrow. Tech was yesterday, and to be honest I did quite well considering it was a tough crowd.
Things learnt from Edinburgh began today, as John Robins taught me the perfect tactics for an all-you-can-eat Chinese Buffet. Apparently the key is avoidance of starch. Having lauded his experience, he managed a meagre two plates and ended up with egg-foo-yung all over his face (metaphor rather than actual).
The flat is empty of people, food, computer and telly. It feels like prison. Being first to arrive, I thought it polite to take the smallest of the rooms and leave the larger for my pending flatmates.
Then I thought 'fuck it' and am now comfortably positioned in a room big enough that it would take about ten seconds to run a lap.
Judging by the previews, the show's in pretty good shape. I'm actually looking forward to the whole thing.
