A quick taste of festival

I have a full update coming to give details of the trip the Scoundrel and I took to Glasgow.  In the mean time:

We saw a show called There's only one Lord Byron, because I had heard there was a good Lord Byron show on.  As it turned out, this wasn't it.  Something didn't quite work in this production which had everything going for it: good writing, top subject matter, hot babes.  Perhaps, in the face of all the amazing free stuff we've seen so far, the £ 10 asking price seemed a bit rough.  Petty, but that's what it came down to.


Go if you have free tickets.


Next review: haggis pie.


This was a great idea when drunk.  Sadly, we were not drunk and the haggis pie threatened to destroy us from the inside out.


Get it if you have had at least eight beers.


Tripod are performing Tripod versus the dragon, and we went along on Wednesday night.  The show is different for Tripod in that it follows a single story rather than being a series of comedy songs.  While I wasn't falling out of my chair with laughter (a lot of the material is quite serious and sad) I was entertained throughout.  The addition of Elana Stone as a fourth cast member has brought the already formidable level of musical talent to a whole other plane.  They admitted after the show that it's still developing; we all bought albums anyway.


Go for whatever they're asking.
