Edinblog Days 8 & 9

Finally feeling a bit more confident in my show, and having taken the last of my antibiotics, I’ve decided to start to go out a bit, rather than sticking to “just the work, ma’am”.

Many people say the main work of Edinburgh is done in the late night bars, which is mildly stressful for me, given that I don’t feel that Late night bars are my natural environment. Few of them serve tea and people are usually shouting and hustling. I quite like dancing, but the business of late night Edinburgh is more sort of subtly boasting about your show in a way that will make someone important come to it, which makes me feel like my elbows are just collection of sticks strapped together in a bag.

That said, I’ve now been in the industry long enough that I can find someone I know and like to chat with in a corner for at least long enough to arrange a normal human chat at another time. Also, if I repeat in my head “remember, people are people” I can avoid feeling weird when I talk to people who are meant to be important. This is a good thing to remember as a general rule as well.

Tomorrow is my day off MYTHOS and I will fly in the morning to London to record the last episode of season one of Stranger Than Sci Fi. I’ll also get a chance to hang out with my brother and dad and sister in law and my glorious baby niece, so despite the trek, I am looking forward to it immensely.

Back on the wagon on Tuesday.

Kisses and hugs.
