This is the title for a "new theatre writing" festival thing in Manchester. For "new writing" read "amateur". Went to something last night in the basement of a record shop. Apparently some of the actors had been in Coronation Street. Its pretty hard to find an actor in Manchester who hasn't been in Coronation Street though. It was entertaining enough but a little amateur for my tastes. Went to Zinc bar beforehand (very busy and very hot) and The Moderne afterwards (cooler and less busy, well virtually empty actually - I don't predict a long life for The Moderne, which is a shame in some ways since its about the only bar in Manchester one can get into late night and be guaranteed of a vodka martini and a seat).
Not much planned for the rest of the weekend (which is good since still catching up after Tuesday night (I know, it takes time these days!). Currently unable to take a shower or do any washing on account of my water having been turned off (United Utilities are doing something outside the flat). Got Mrs T staying on Wednesday night (although I'm in Birmingham all day) and it will be really good to see her. DD is popping by to say hello so we'll probably have to save the dancing round the flat in our pyjamas until later on (since DD doesn't own any pyjamas - I know, how does she survive?). That's all.
