Didn't occur to me that uh my paypal account delivers to bloody Kent. 10 days should be long enough for them to be delivered and Cal to send them up here shouldn't it?
I thought nothing else could go wrong today. How wrong I was :frown:

Why you worrying about delivery? You collect the tickets on the door, so paypal aren't sending them anywhere :p: Hope that's ok and thanks for buying some tickets - which performance are you coming to?

See that's ok then. But it didn't tell me that. And everything else has gone wrong today so it seemed logical that that would too. Me n Sam now coming on Thursday night, so at least you'll have SOME audience hehe!

It tells you on ticket page before you order that you have to collect them on the night (bring some form of ID with you) :p:

Thurs night is proving quite popular at the moment (along with Sat night)...they're selling the best out of all the 4 performances :smile: Anyways, convince all the other people at Jesus to come too!

I personally didn't go because I consider "Arts Festival Bar Crawl" to be an oxymoron. I sat in Lincoln, throwing paper planes at crawlers - paper planes crafted from the seventy-eight billion How To Succeed In Business... flyers they'd put on the table, between the four of us.

Umm..excuse me, there were a group of Lincolnites at the TSAF launch party at QI and we came to Jesus and also Lincoln's bar! We couldn't come to Escape as we have rehearsals all nights this week til very late for the musical so needed to get a reasonably early night on Sunday.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr - I was wondering who'd made MY flyers into paper airplanes!!! And there were not 78-billion flyers there since I only orderted 5000 of them :p: Glad you're well aware of the production though - clearly my marketing strategy is working!

Slightly off topic - well not really since it's in keeping with the title, just not Chloe's original post - but at 2:30 today and tomorrow (i.e. only matinees) Artist Descending a Staircase is being performed @ Exeter in the Saskatchewan Room. It's about an hour and a half long, tickets are £3 for concessions and our very own Che Guevara is in it... And my flatmate's the director...

"Three Avant-Garde Artists: friends for over sixty years. Two of them begin the play listening to the tape recording of the third's death, while accusing each other of his murder. As the play progresses, we go back in time to see the events and relationships that have shaped these people's lives. Along the way there are musings on Art, Life, Love and Causality. It is a largely unknown work from Stoppard's opus, but is still a masterpiece from one of the foremost contemporary British dramatists."
