The voice of the people has spoken! We have a spontaneous charity auction coming up!! In today’s RAPS post I asked you what to do with the Chop shrine, and the answer was more or less unanimous – auction it off for charity. No sooner had the first feedback appeared, when our one and only…
With UATSC receiving a second chance at the coming weekend – enthusiastically billed as “World Premiere” by Newcastle International Film Festival *ahem* hello? The first ever showing and hence the world premiere of Urban took place two and a half years ago in Leeds, if you please. I know, because I was there… – all my…
A week and a half has passed since Richard dropped his mysterious hints about his upcoming return to the stage. “A couple of days”? Still waiting, Richard, dear. And the guessing game has moved on. My “Quiz” wish has already been eliminated from the list. The show has been announced and is already cast – sans…

I have several friends living in Paris and two photographer friends were on a visit there this weekend on the occasion of Paris Photo, the international fine art photography fair, which has been closed today, under the order of the…
Moving on to day 2 of the “Therapy Weekend for Fan Girls in Need of RA-Re-Ignition” – this will be a less text-heavy post than part 1 but pretty easy on the eye instead. But for posterity’s sake a quick recap of the event itself: The screening of UATSC with cast and crew had been scheduled…
