Words from the Deep End
Thu, 28 Oct 1999, 09:19 amGood morrow one & all.After an absence of some weeks from the site (due to the somewhat transient nature of my computer access), I am somewhat buoyed to find that Change is Not Necessarily Inevitable, and that theatre folk still bitch and moan over the perrenial problems of trying to enjoy oneself with the aid of carefully placed sticks of greasepaint.Or not as the case may be.Despite valiant efforts to swing the conversations to the left of reason, the obsession continues- as does my disappointment with the tone of discussion. I've said previous that I'd love to be at the party where all these warring factions meet, because I'd guarantee noone would rage fulsomely face to face, but keep it "smiley smiley Mr Politenessman".I will return, and I expect improvement. Should you fail in this request, I will retire.The Lowdown Eliot.PS: Meddoes, I'm not ignoring you, but I have been in techno-wilderness. Welcome back.

> smiley Mr Politenessman".The trouble is, I suspect that it would be a small turnout - with about four or five people in a circle of chairs (a'la a first read-through) going "I'm John, and I play Bill, Rob, Edward, Jennifer, Alice, Juan, and the guy who says 'fuck' alot". Anonymity is a can of worms IRL. Such is the wonder of the internet - it's a schizophrenic loner's paradise.> PS: Meddoes, I'm not ignoring you, but I have been in techno-wilderness.You mean you've gone all human on me? Shit, things *have* changed.> Welcome back.Thank you, kind sir.
