OK bloggers, quick post today.
The usual routine, up, tea, commute, work, avoid, work, avoid, work, commute, put off going to gym, home, write blog, meeting, dinner with pal, home, Internet surf, late to bed.
There it is
End
PS - Been offered the Chelsea Worlds End Theatre (reception) to start a another night or 'do what you want with it, we just want more people in'. It is a small old community centre which has been a community arts theatre for last 26 years.
It is used for meetings but I've never seen anything put on advertised or is it very appealing venue. The cafe is run by a mental health charity and looks like it has been designed by someone who missed their medication.
The rest of it has that 'day centre' feel to it. Vases of fruit, old people dribbling and a kind of spirit of medication in the air. I have no problem with that of course, but as a community theatre feels like it could be doing a lot more.
So, i have been offered a space in Chelsea, on Kings Road to do 'something' for free. It has no licence, no PA, the reception is an odd room with main entrance, toilet, open cafe and a stage. It would be tough,
But i like it. The Theatre is superb, 180 seats. Immediately it set my mind racing. Comedy, music, arts nights, poetry, spoken word, addiction festival, a Kings Road festival. And then i was off like a fucking firecracker.
Reclaim the spirit of the 60's Kings Road. A big campaign festival, movement rejecting the corporatisation of every high street in the country, to act as a flag barer for small independents doing markets with stalls, music, spirit, atmosphere, fun with regular monthly night to celebrate this. Making the theatre at the heart of the community.
Fuck me, i went from 0-160 in less than 2 seconds. After reigning it in for a few minutes i realised i have a main job (4 days a week as Marketing Manager, Stationary consultant and Prince of Dullness) own website company (not making money) , comedy club (fun) , training (sexual) and writing (blog)) - Do i have any time?
Comedy Night, Improv, Variety or Tranny darts quiz night? I just love idea of starting something in the spirit of old school Kings Road, it was where Punk started, Vivienne Westwood and it is a community arts theatre. So, i shall think on - unless anyone has some inspirational idea or wants to sponsor me to do this full time. Just think how awesome that would be - creating community fun, social, meaningful events, liaising with schools, charities to deliver serious messages about addiction, obesity or XBox 3, creating arts events, music events and bringing together local business to get behind it.
Fuck me. I should have run for Mayor of London. I would knock those pair of cunts Johnson and Livingstone off their egotistical perch. mmmm, one for the future maybe, Trouble is, I'd have to let go of the letterheads. Tough
