Day four
Went to a shorts screening in the morning. Several really good ones, but Blake’s Junction 7 stands head and shoulders above the rest. Find info about it here. There’s even a trailer, though I don’t know if it works.
After that, I had lunch at a very nice vegan restaurant I found in Soho. Had a nectarine I bought off a street merchant for dessert. Wandered around a bit, caught another shorts screening. Again, some crap, a few gems.
Got a haircut!! It’s good times. Will post a picture if I can. The stylist was named Nino, and he was from Macau (spelling??) which he said is the “Asian Las Vegas.” It’s near Hong Kong. He was Portugese, though. And he had a lip piercing.
Took in The Producers to wind up the day. It was all right. I felt sort of like I felt at Reduced Shakespeare: lots of cheap jokes. I was annoyed. The singing was great, the music was fine. It was overall an OK show, I guess. But not up to my standards, sadly. I’m not sure what I’ll catch the matinee of today, but I’ll let you know tomorrow.
After that tonight I’m heading to Exeter. Must go now, my time’s expired.

Yeah, I hear some crazy things about Macau. Alice has been there, I think. Lots of casinos and resort type places.
