Hey Lliam - What’s been happening since July 31st? I hear you ask... well, I’ll tell you nosy:
Aug 4th - Impro
Each year (like Impro Melbourne) IA holds a massive night of Theatresports peppered with celebs from all over. A portion of the proceeds go to the Starlight foundation and there are massive raffled prizes etc. It’s always a big production and this year was no exception. Being 2007, the directors Nikki Parry and Jon Williams went with a James Bond – style theme (007 geddit?…also brought on by Jon watching a spotlight dance around a stage reminding him of the opening credits of the classic Bond films)
They asked me a couple of months ago if I would like to design the poster/postcard for it and being a fan I whipped up a design.
Then came time for the production and they asked if I would like to Judge along with Benita from Playschool and local impro guru Lyn Pierce – I said yes of course (I was going to be in Sydney that weekend anyway). Fates twisted a string and Jon rang and asked if I would like to play instead – so on Saturday the 4th I hit the Enmore Stage in the team 'Casino Royale With Cheese' - Lee Naimo, Jordan Raskopoulos, Clare Hooper and myself won the night after a game of 'everything replay' that involved the 'Velociraptor of Christmas Past'.

We were monster pudding... or was it jelly? Dan looks on with his heroic beard

We won… I had to kiss Jordan's sock... but we won. On to the After party and mooching, drinks and laughing all good fun (apart from the fact that I was in the grip of a terrible cold – curse those airborne beasties)
Aug 5th – My sister Zoe’s little girl Asha had a birthday – she turned 5 and I forgot it (BAD UNCLE) then on the 8th Zoe had her opening at the MARS gallery – loads of fantastic sculptures and beautiful pieces.
More Corporate work – I don the Suit costume once again and take the elevator to financial gain. Thank you Performing Matters and ABT.
The car is sick and needs a new gearbox and clutch. $1600 jumps out of my bank account and scampers off into the distance. I find life is much harder while my car is in the garage.
AB and Susie leave for OS. Have fun chums (and they do - as the photos don’t lie)
Here endth part one…
