For the last 18 years, one way or another, I've gone up to Edinburgh during the festival. Most years I'm there for the whole month but this year I was thinking I might have to miss out.

But having got back into the country this last week and having looked at my diary and all I have to get done before September it seems like I'll be okay to get up there, albeit only for a few days. Luckily I've been able to find some decent accommodation at this short notice and a cheap flight. So I'll be going up on the 17th for about a week.

In other news, I'm quite happy with my new profile picture. Don't know why I didn't think of it sooner.

yeah ive actually heard of the trachenburg family players, and buse of child labour laws. the dad looks like one of those guys who is in the paper for all the wrong reasons, and unruly readers of the paper will be bricking his windows and write 'perv' in big letters on the side of his house.

i was thinking more 'venice shoreline chris' actually. who they?

to be perfectly honest, the only reason i've heard of them was because of an article in the Guardian a couple of weeks ago biggrin but i was sufficiently intrigued to download some MP3s and a crappy little video (I'm on a dial-up whatever ), but that was enough to convince me of their greatness! (if you look at my previous journal entry, i actually mention them, coincidentally enough). i'd love to see them, they look very entertaining.

have you heard of the Red Elvises, by the way? someone on SG introduced me to them. they're like a cabaret Russian folk/ska/rock-n-roll band--- sometimes on the cheesy side, but they'll put a smile on your face! lots of (free) live MP3s from their website
here. smile
