Up early to find my venue; took me bloody ages. Probably because there's a front door to it, but they're not using it - instead the audience have to walk all the way down a hill, and turn into what is effectively a building site. Seriously, if you're a venue, surely you want to get people in? It's madness, just madness, and disheartening because suddenly you realise...yep, it's going to be one of *those* runs, again.
Venue had no chairs. And my performance room is upstairs, there are no signs on how to get there, and you have to walk right through another venue to get in. It's just horrible.
First performance done; 3 people - my mate Jack, who travelled with me, my mate Adam, who lives up here, and my mate Emma, who is dating Adam. Performance was a typical opening showing, a bit jaunty, a few struggles with venue lighting (ie it was really dark) but it'll get better. It has to.
Saw a couple of friends do their shows, both of whom were great, and then hosted the music quiz. It was clear quite early on that this doesn't really count as a show, but people seemed to enjoy it anyway and got into the spirit of things. Why did I commit to doing this quiz up here?
