Day Two -
Categories: I have decided that titles are redundant and so each Edinburgh day will be listed much like a war journal. Only with less violence. However should you choose to read all of these from here on as though I am in camo gear and typing while avoiding enemy fire, please do. It makes me seem cooler.
Our first show is tomorrow, and all my lines are solidly in my head I think. This will be tested tomorrow. Sadly however I will have to stay u a large proportion of tonight learning my lines for the kids show I'm in (Green Meanie at the Green Room. I am the meanie fo sho), which could mean that by tomorrow all scripts clash and everyone loses out. We can but hope for the best.
On the plus side, we started flyering today and it went surprisingly well. By that I mean no one spat at us and we managed to give out about 200 flyers to an empty road on a rainy day. One point to us. However, the rain took its toll on the crappy bowler hat I wear for flyering which is now ruined by day one. One point deducted. We also gave a flyer to a very enthusiastic 12 year old and her mum. The 12 year old really wants to come to the show, but has no idea that we have several rape gags, and jokes about cancer. One point to us.
For the kids show I get to wear a huge green suit. One point. We got two free drinks at the Underbelly press launch. A further point. Everyone's show snippets at the launch seemed really polished and I got very scared. Point deducted. Our posters are bloody everywhere and everyone likes them. One point.
Which all in all leaves me with two points for a whole days work. Ultimately these points are much like supermarket club cards where I will add them all up but they will amount to nothing except self disappointment. And either way, my last two points will now be lost by only having a total of about 6 hours sleep in my first two nights here. Once the hallucinations kick in, this may well become more like a war journal.
