And here I am reporting live from the Kebble PC…<\/p>\n
OK, that actually makes me sound more important than I am. See, I was flown down to set up my installation, and they are not quite ready for me to set up the piece just yet, so they left me in their office and I kind of decided it would be OK to steal some internet time on their machine (don’t get me started on how much Telkom t-zones suck; wireless broadband, my ass).<\/p>\n
ANYhow, I stole this pic from their site, cuz my computer is not getting online with my own pics, but you get the idea. Things here are hektik, but with Clive and Khwezi, there’s a totally different vibe form last year (of course Claire is great, too, but this is her second year, so I can’t blame her for the goodness; she just adds to it). Yes, things need to get done, and everyone is tired already, but the vibe is that we’re on track, we’ve got a great show, a great team, blahblahblah.<\/p>\n
Why blahblahblah? Cuz I sound like I am marketing something that doesn’t really need any more marketing. Still, the groove is infectious, and next friday is going to be insane. I can’t wait.<\/p>\n
Yay, art.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
