Good luck with whatever it is you've got planned after august
But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

Big decision. Lots of luck in whatever you choose to do in the future.
So, what you gonna do after the summer?? Get a proper job and go to work in a suit and tie? *shudder*

The comment I made about "get haircut & get a real job" was a joke, honestly!
Hope everything you do goes well.

Whatever you do next, I'll bet good money it's just as inspirational as your work with the te Pooka gang.
You could always come hang in Cornwall and put yer feet up.

so; here are some plans and movements, and potential plans, etcetc....
5th May
leave edinburgh; drive to sheffield and pick up the fluffy one
and move her southwards away from the grim north celebrate birthdayness (not mine)
11th-16th(ish) May-
Streets of brighton
with Orkestra del sol before going to play at the wedding of the guy who runs lost vagueness in devon somewhere...16th(ish) for a week
go to brissole for a weeks rehearsal for the ubershow that me, ros and laura are going to perform through the summer...
last week may:
relative bothering in wales
first couple weeks june
last bits of prep for summer tour
17th june(i think)
go to summer solstice festival somewhere near glastonbury
(i'll find a link) to perform the new show for the first timewhich conveniently finishes the day before
PLAY
we love you dunc + co.
then its a bit hazy for a week or so, before heading over sometime in the june/july crossover to go to Germany and Austria to perform and teach at
Full Moon
Pflasterspektakel
La Strada
UbEurope
Streetlife
and anywhere that will accept a van full of hippies performing a shithot fireshow.
then we get to august, and it all goes a bit uncertain. I've got lots of ideas for things to do... the one that is making me smile most of all at the moment(totally subject to change) is to go to the festival del sole in tuscany, hook up with PK and family, then find somewhere in Italy to hang out for a while and get a job teaching circus in schools, performing for pennies, etcetc... til the next time i feel the need to go a-running away
but there are loads of other equally cool options for things to do around then.. including coming back and working on a big project with the pooks, but just as a performer with no overall responsibility
and a short term contract or anything in between (including running away to australia again, or possibly india if the fluff stamps her foot )so... there you have it. well, some of it.
smiles, and odd grins.

I dunno how you hippies do it.
That kind of lifestyle would drive me nuts.
But I'm honestly thankful because I'd never have the fun if you kids weren't creating all sorts of joy and happiness wherever you go.
Thanks for inviting me up to Pooksville years ago. My life has certainly improved since.
Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.
