Good Luck to Alabaster!
Good Luck on your tour of Ireland Al, hope you go down a storm. Yes I said go down a storm - not I want you to go down in a storm, I'm not as competitive as the others - yet!lol
No seriously have a great time and if you get the chance kiss the Blarney stone because it will imbibe you with love and luck. Actually for the best results you should dance around it naked in the moonlight but seeing as I'm not going to be there to enjoy this, you're allowed to keep your clothes on.
Now if you have room in your suitcase for a crazy lady, and a camcorder we could record your version of The Full Monty to the tune of Tom Jones's you can keep your hat on.
We could make a killing with it or perhaps your missus will make a killing if she sees my cheeky comments, by the way I live in Canada if she asks!lol.
Good luck to you sweetness, bye for now.

Last night I returned in a drunken haze to this ugly bastard town, feeling like a stunned study in narcotics, over-work, sleeplessness and bewildered elation. That morning I had been stood in the sea playing sax and dancing, I have little recollection of the time inbetween, perhaps I swam home...
Seriously though, kids, I've had a time splendid beyond splendid, I recommend the emerald isle to all poets and musicians who enjoy a decent crowd and a good party.
I performed everywhere - on the street, at the airport, in the hostels, parties, lock-ins, open-mics, and yes also the shows I was booked on. No-one I know drinks like the Irish, and no-one I know has such a propensity for story-telling, poesy and mirth.
My performance has been modified by these shows, I'll show you all just how some time...
Perciphone's show was awesome, of course. Alot of new stuff and still with a new costume and character for each piece. Ranging between sheer grim moments of sorrow to absurd hilarity and faeries... Mad. Some of the best and most unique performance I've seen. Indeed, I've had an unbelievable time, and wouldn't have been over there without her help.
We did O Bheal in Cork (www.obheal.ie), then WhiteHouse Poets in Limerick (http://whitehousepoets.blogspot.com/), then BK's Wine bar (great jazz place, jugs of wine, mmm) in Galway. And loads of parties and random occurrences inbetween.
I'll be going back next week for the Naked Lunch in Dublin (www.myspace.com/dublinpoetry), and then sharing a bill with Iggy and the Stooges, Primal Scream etc at the Electric Picnic! (http://www.electricpicnic.ie/) That'll be mint.
It's lovely to be welcomed back by you lot, you're a decent bunch. Do I look like I have a 'missus', Maggie? Girlfriends are for puffs! (ho ho ho) Peter is my wife, aren't you, Pete. Cayn, where will you be going? I'll let you know some places to go, if I can be helpful...
See you all tomorrow night in Middleton, eh?
Keep it funky!

Welcome home, Alabaster. The bastard city is ecstatic to receive you back -- how about paddling in the ship canal whilst playing a kazoo -- almost the saxophone/sea scenario there? But, I have to ask, are there any quite coves for the cotemplative left in the Emerald Isle? Congratulations on a roaring tour!

Sorry, missed the 'n' out 'contemplative.' I found the 'n' at the LOST LETTER kiosk after I put out a tannoy announcement. He'd wandered into 'inarticulate' and was finding it difficult to explain himself. If I had not retrieved him quickly he would be little more than a kind of algebraic point marking where the tip of the tongue connects with the upper palate just behind the front teeth. Phew. A letter of congratulations and welcome can be a dangerous undertaking with not inconsiderable risks for the words involved. But they all volunteered when they knew it was you, Alabaster. You are the Hero of the Words themselves.
