No point counting down: LONDON CALLING!

Hello peepsy daisies and poopsie dozos,
yes, now, the time is near, the last minute packing and shopping for the necessary necessities like cup noodles, mints, batteries, biscuits and other important ration. The important accessories like up johns?, the long johns, beanie and gloves. We are not going there as MUSE or Radiohead, so there won’t be any hospitality as such, we need to find our way to the hotel ourselves, it is somewhere near Hyde Park, off Kensington and Chelsea. There’s no reason to complain, They are putting us up in a 4 star hotel, ‘The Millenium Gloucester’, what can we say, we have to be indie.

Lan has been spending sleepless nights, burning the CDRs, while I have been running up and down the hill at Fort Canning (home of Theatreworks), settling some last minute logistics, flight tickets and the very last session at Bob’s.

As my body belongs to both KYTV/Tiramisu, (how wonderful if I have tentacles), I have to think of myself as David Copperfield, the magician. (yes I know very 80s)

There were many days as we thought, this day was like a dream, when suddenly it came slapping, how we realised the difference between reality and fantasy. But sometimes we get stuck in between or just floating around. I had a conversation with Lan the other day, he said the night before he played in KL, he couldn’t sleep, he felt this huge responsibility playing in front of a foreign audience. I understood what he meant, let’s just hope this trip will be a fruitful and mind-altering journey for all of us, you, me, us and everyone who have witnessed us on stage, as friends, foes and laughed together. We will bring each and everyone of you with us, in our hearts, our minds and our souls.

I will try my best in finding free or cheap internet access, so that we can update you with the situations, complications, joy, grief and experience, not forgetting the weather report. Those of you who are or will be in London this week, grab as many Singaporeans, businessmen, steward/stewardess, technopreneur, doctors, students, social escorts, pimpsters, drivers, maniacs anyone, And you Singaporeans who are in London, grab as many Korean, Japanese, Jamaican, Spanish, French, German, Icelandic, Zimbabwean and any different nationality of friends, come to the show at ICA.

Tentative gig timing:
ICA Theatre
Friday 25th February : 11:30pm-12:15am 12:30am-01:00am
Saturday 26th February: 11:30-12:15 12:30-01:00am
Sunday 27th February: not sure yet, but maybe earlier.

There will be a major change over right after Ong Keng Sen’s play ‘The Continuum’. So we are not sure of the timing, so be prepared for the waiting time.
