The Mad Red Motherf**ker World Tour.

[ARNC]

Back home after an amazing first weekend with the MRMF. I guess it’s downhill from here (although I’ll try not to disappoint)!

[Aetas]

You told me what you’ve planned.
Perhaps I can hear a tendency to underreport .
Enjoy your leg @ARNC

[ARNC]

@Aetas plans don’t always work out but I’ll report anything that does until someone tells me to stop.

[ARNC]

There probably won’t be much happening till the weekend but the Mad Red has found some friends (and the IH section of my coat cupboard has never looked so good).

[ARNC]

Where is the Mad Red going on Saturday night? You decide!

My original plans for Saturday have fallen through (postponed not cancelled) so I’ve decided to head to one of my regular haunts. I can’t decide between two options, so I thought it would be fun to put the question out there. @Aetas @endo and any other would-be cultural guides, should I go for
(1) The Art of Fugue or
(2) Wozzeck?

I’ll book tickets tomorrow.

[endo]

Hmm, tough question. Both are probably fantastic, but in the end Bach beats Berg, at least from my point of view.

[Giles]

I'd go for #1

[Aetas]

#1 Bach

[Tago Mago]

#1

[ARNC]

Thanks guys. There was a clear winner. Saturday night plans now locked in.

[ARNC]

I thought I’d show you a bit of the MRMF’s temporary home on my way to the station.

My street

A little bit further down the hill. Could this be named after two of the IH crew?

Memorial to Thomas Harding from the days when people burned heretics to make themselves feel warm inside.

The High Street often has something going on at the weekend. This is the lull between early afternoon and evening.

The old signal box - I guess this isn’t the typical tube station.

[Giles]

That's a lull? You should see Gos Vegas Hight Street when it's quiet

[ARNC]

@Giles I suspect Gos Vegas gets a bit livelier than Chesham when things kick off.

[Giles]

Yeah early on a Saturday and Sunday morning when Emmas closes.....

[ARNC]

Change of scenery …

Whatever this is/was, I want some.....

[Aetas]

@ARNC You are wandering on the traces of the Big Easy. Sparkling in the MRMF beautifully,
Voodoo Chicken and Bach, but how about the acrobats?

[ARNC]

@Giles as @Aetas guessed correctly, this was from Voodoo Chicken at the Southbank Centre food market (their magic chicken box, to be precise, with chipotle and lime sauce as I wimped out of the habanero one). It was good!

[ARNC]

@Aetas it was interesting (really, not in the British sense) and mostly it worked. My body certainly doesn’t do what theirs does. I found a trailer that gives you an impression of the staging last night. We weren’t allowed to take photos. In this case probably a safety thing as well as concert hall etiquette (I guess it would be quite distracting having the audience flashing at you when you’re doing this kind of stuff).
