Sunday 15th August 2004

The intricacies of the Pod Deco remain a mystery to me. My audience plummeted down to around about 50. But it was the same news for everyone here. I'm half way through now and suspect that things won't change too much. It was a good enough show, but obviously a little disappointing. Let's see if the Metro review on Tuesday makes any difference.
My Podrophenia gig was OK as well, though surprisingly much of my cock material was too shocking for the late night audience. I got away with it.
Afterwards in the bar I felt old and tired. I have gone slightly deaf in the last few days, but I think this is just the temporary result of my earlier throat and ear problems. I'd stayed up late for just one night and now all I could think of was getting to bed. Alone.
Ten years ago I would have stayed out til late nearly every single night chatting up women, before going to bed. Alone.

So maybe it's progress as this way I get three hours more sleep. And am awake before 4pm.
I haven't been to see many shows yet, but tonight I did catch Gary Le Strange who was phenomenal. A brilliantly committed performance despite a small (though very enthusiastic) crowd. Wonderful madness. Go and see it.

It's a rollercoaster of highs and lows this year for me. Thirteen more shows to go. I wonder what loops await me.
