The Kunda Sisters did an extract their new show Blue Black Sister last Saturday at the Royal Exchange Manchester. It was a multi media spoken word piece using projected photographic art work and motion picture.

It went really well, the tickets were sold out a week in advance! it was really hard work and we all gav it everything w had and it paid off. We had fantastic feedback and it was well worth the sweat.

Hopefully, we should be doing a full length version next year.

Best Moment:
A large glass of wine after a rapturous applause

Worst Moment:

Bosnian ex-leader caught bang-to-rights after 10 years on the run. With long beard, kind-of Moses look he was difficult to spot in his alternative practitioner restyling. All Alternative therapists with facial hair - of either sex - might instantly have started feeling paranoid. When Saddam first left the palaces and President Bush was after him etc; he'd left no official notification of his itinerary, my friend at work, Ron Limb would say 'he might be working here'.

The guys I go to see, couple of them, big enough names I s'pose, have their housekeeping in good order so to express it.

It's not just if you fancy it; it's probably vital. Everything typed-out, must be the way. When you're at a jig, gig pardon me I'm doing, the folder might well be with me everything, in it. One can 'forget' important bits otherwise

Yeah, writing these is orienting

Simply, so. The last few have been about the value of these can't help noticing

See you soon. If I write a blog I can't escape the thought I should be writing. If I don't write a blog I can escape the thought I should be writing. Simply.

See u soon

20 days or so since the blog-diary's been going; realised it's longest I've kept up a journal probably

Great exercise it's meant to be for several reasons. Always most interesting seeing these old scraps of broken-off unkept-up dairies. Got something out of it for sure

On to some work - see you soon

I was in two minds about mentioning the passer-by in the last photo, but since you ask, Ghostly! She is most likely a student- there are many around Rusholme. She looks boldly into the camera, with some amusement on her face: Why is some Rasta guy photographing an empty bench early in the morning? People told me Rusholme was full of crazies but...

Get into something Today.

Passed-up on Manky Poets Chorlton last night. Won't always do that I 'spect.

Seconds ago I hit the Banish button on an email that'd got past the spam filter. It was a CON one; where they up front say 'This isn't a get rich quick scheme'. It's the only kind I'm interested in they should know.

Naturally to get past one there's mock honesty.

Mandela's Birthday

Yesterday, might have gone to FREED UP(Poetry night at the Green Room).

Anyway, todays...

Why Energized? Newspapers I do not read. The nearest I get to their fare really is from glancing at the Headlines from Hotmail/MSN. Most intrigued by Header about Hot Metal Monk.

Certainly worth reading that. 62 year-old Monk (with a bunch of young chaps) is on his second Heavy Metal album

When he turned-up, audition-wise; they had their doubts. Dispelled in minutes. Yep, Brother Metal as he's been dubbed seems as though he's the real deal folks.

Writing a blog has brought into accurate alignment a couple of points made on different days. Not my Philosophy of Life/Living but in that area most definitely.

And, visit to Commonword yesterday evening very good

See you soon

Missed yesterday's. Busyness. Tonight's (at Commonword) looks alright; should! be there.

Cheers
