Well I did it, went and committed myself to organising a Fringe Festival show. It means staying around Wellington for the summer, so this is going to be my attempt at crowning off my time here.
The show's called Ascension Band - Electric Symphony. The dates are:
December 18th, Newtown Community Hall
February 25th, Happy
March 4th & 5th, Newtown Community Hall
I guess I was convinced by the jam we had on Monday night, where we hoisted the music to a new level above & beyond what we'd done at Meatwaters. So that DVD is going to be outdated by the time it arrives. But it's an album and therefore a freezeframe.
I'll put up more information as it comes to hand, maybe start a whole website for the band. Things are looking good.
On the other hand I can't run away too far from Wellington. I went and got a haircut today, now that I've got a timeframe to work around I can start on jobhunting in earnest. I'll spend the rest of today at the flat - the garden went to seed while I was away and the vege patches are in the pull-everything-out-&-start-again stage - most of the plants have bolted. The paths are closing up with long grass on either side and the lawn's become a prairie. We're on the cusp of summer, where not just the flowers but the weeds & insects burst forth. There are some strawberries ripening though, and we can expect sweet peas and tomatoes by January. It's a matter of trimming back some clutter to provide a psychological boost for getting out of the doledrums. Couldn't have a repeat of Overgrowth now...
