Train Strike, mixed feelings, guilt and ALL LEVELS Salon Details

What’s the word for the feeling when you support worker’s rights and collective action, but also there’s a train strike on all this week and you have to get to a show in Leicester?

What’s the word for when you deliberately booked few shows and previews so you could find the balance with travel and mo...

Tea With Alice Salon 62

I know this was caused by a pest but it looks like beautiful lace.

I’ve been living on a boat in regent’s canal for the past week, and other than a rough start with arriving to find the septic tank full (as horrifying and stressful a process to solve as you could possibly imagine), it’s been very cool ...

UK Fun, Tea With Alice Salon 61

I’m loving reading the submissions to the D’Ancey LaGuarde literary tribute competition. The initial ridiculous idea grew out of an emailed bit of LaGuarde fanfic spontaneously sent to me by an excellent Patreon who I will leave unnamed unless they want to volunteer themselves in the comments section below. I c...

Arrived in London: Tea With Alice Salon 60

Hallo from the Zaltzman house in London. We are arrived and safe in one piece and boy are my arms tired. 24 hours of travel is a lot of travel and I am a shrivelled raisin curled up like a prawn. I feel like I need a massage, but I’ve only had one Post-pandemic, and it was a half hour massage that I got in Perth on an impul...

Balance + Tea With Alice Salon 59

So, my run of Australian tour shows of CHRONOS are done. It was doable but I’m very tired now. I didn’t want to be dramatic so I didn’t do a big social media agony about it, but I’ve been really thinking about whether it’s worthwhile touring live shows with the baby, or whether I should just settle back i...

Mothers Day

It’s Mother’s Day here in Australia. My first one as one, and it’s weird because I’ve spent the last years flinching away from it.

I’m not sure how I’m going to feel about Mother’s Day in the future, and I don’t know if I get to decide, but I think how I feel is maybe at least a little bit unde...

Debate Transcript (on the proposition, Everyone Should Write a Book, for the Negative). Salon Time Change (one hour Later)

Hallo, a few of you lovely Patreonites asked for the transcript of the other night’s debate (given that it wasn’t recorded. I have stuck it below, in all its stream-of-consciousness-airport-disaster-glory)

Also, salon tomorrow is moved to an hour later! Which makes it 7am Wednesday for US East Coast types...

Horrendous Travel Day, Debate and Star Wars Day Salon Details for This Week.

I flew back to Sydney from Melbourne a few days ago, and boy are my arms tired. Because of carrying Laser all around the airport for five hours. It was an absolute travel nightmare - good practice for the long haul to England next month I guess? To look at the sliver of silver lining.

My flight was delayed t...

D’Ancey LaGuarde Fanfiction Competition

Hallo, this is the launch of The Gargle’s D’Ancey LaGuarde Tribute Literary Competition. I could have done a website page, but could I?

RULES:

You will write one chapter of a LaGuarde novel that hasn’t yet made it into this dimension. It must be a chapter of one of the books advertised on The Las...

Who Gets to Be In Society / Festival Wrap / ALL LEVELS OPEN Salon this week

As a society, we carve out ‘outside’ or ‘safe’ spaces for old p...

Festival in Progress

Hallo all! It’s been a hefty week, fighting off Schroedinger’s covid (feeling like crap, testing negative, maybe it’s just not enough sleep with the baby, baby gets first fever, extra no-sleep, test again, still negative, should I cancel the shows anyway? Big reviewer coming in, etcetera).

Anyway, the u...

Melbourne update, plus Salon details.

Right oh! The clocks have changed again, so I’ll have to figure out better times for the salons. If you like attending the salons and have a time/day that’s most or least convenient for you, drop it in the comments and I’ll try to factor in as many people as I can when planning the new times.

Chats & link to server

Dad: I saw some ads for the Melbourne comedy on the television.

Me: oh lovely

Dad: But they never have you in them.

Me: No

Dad: but the podiatrist said she’d look you up. She likes comedy.

End scene.

Today’s salon was lovely. I’m thinking o...

Moving On and Salon This Week (Change!)

Salon’s moving to Thursday/Friday this week, because on Tuesday/Wednesday this week I’m moving house. Or rather packing up my flat, and reducing everything back down to as close to a suitcase as I can get it because I’ll be spending the next four or five months on the road. It’s quite a satisfying exercise ...

Doing Things For Free

I’ve got a friend who’s an art curator - she helps hang paintings in galleries and figure out where exhibitions should go and how to engineer the displays of big complicated works so people can see them without getting crushed to death etc. It’s one of those odd super specialised skill sets that you’re unlikely to thi...

Adelaide Roundup and Salon Tomorrow

Hallo lovely Patreonites - I have returned from trying to do the live performance part of my job in Adelaide with the re-re-re-written CHRONOS. The show by now is such a palimpsest of new-show-on-old-show that the name CHRONOS has aquired an increasingly meta level of self commentary.

Doing this test run wit...

Next week I’m going to Adelaide. I have sold 35 out of 400 tickets so far. Which is either due to people’s current unwillingness to commit themselves to things in advance lest the norm suddenly go flop again, OR due to the fac...

Death and Social Media, (and this week’s salon details)

I’m watching cascades of memories and photographs on my timeline, and feeling completely unable to find the words to add to them. It’s good to see people connecting over shared and different stories, telling each other what was good, what was special, how they felt when they first met, or when they last saw. I ...

Distances and No Salon This Week

Hallo lovely Patreonites.

I’m writing this in the early morning of a sleepless night spent waiting for someone on the other side of the world to die. It’s a uniquely modern version of an age old sadness. A very helpless feeling, being kept up to date with life and death by messages, at such a vast distance. Though ...
