I miss my computer!

The past few days have been painful, having somehow managed to break my second charger for my Powerbook, I’ve been without my computer since last Friday (too long!!!).

It’s not that I break these things intentionally, I think it’s more over-use and exhaustion on technology’s behalf. My original charger quite simply melted on itself, somewhere near the end of my thesis, it’s replacement didn’t even last a year!?

It’s just typical that this happens at a time when I’m once again very productive and working on a range of different projects, meaning my backlog of photos and work will only continue to grow. But hey, that’s an awesome complaint I suppose.

As of this morning, a very rainy and cold morning, filming has officially begun on episode 4 of Mycrofilms’ web-based sitcom Vultures. I’ll once again be making a return in the episode as Jack Street but there’s a change in my role behind the camera; I’m delighted to say that I will be directing the fourth installment in the series.  

With episode 3: ‘The Mystery of the Night Time Refuse‘ premiering on VulturesPI.com on November 9th, we’re gearing up to once again bombard the local media over the next few days. I’ll blog more about it as soon as I can.

Last weekend was a busy one, Kilkenny grunge-experiment The Lions Mane returned to Cleere’s Theatre for what has to go down as one of the best gigs I have ever been to. Awesome performances from Ethanol Mines, Tame and The Lions Mane, a huge crowd, an atmosphere that “kept it positive”, mosh-pits, dancing and a whole new batch of songs unveiled as The Lions Mane gear up to releash their debut offering ‘Strands’ this December.

I’ve got tons of photos and videos from the gig, which I really can’t wait to work on. I’ve managed to upload the first video from the night, with plenty more to come. And I’ll be making a roadtrip with the lads to the Boom Boom Room in Dublin for a gig this Friday. I’ll also be doing a promo-shoot with them over the weekend in a REAL STUDIO!!! More on all this very soon!

Tomorrow night at 9pm; The Devious Company take over the airwaves on KCLR96fm for our first ever radio theatre production ‘The War of the Worlds‘. Myself and Ken were on the Afternoon Show with Tom Dowling today, the ad’s have been playing on the hour, every hour for the last week. The local media have once again been bombarded with press releases. And there seems to be great excitement about it.

I’ll finish this post with the 2nd web-advert for the show, hopefully I’ll be able to blog more about it as soon as I can.

Having no computer really sucks… 

The Devious Theatre Company’s performance of The War of the Worlds will be broadcast exclusively on KCLR on Thursday, October 30th at 9pm. It can also be listened to live on KCLR96FM.com.
