I completed a 5K yesterday:
Just before my wife and I drove down to Cardiff to see Hamilton at the Millennium Centre. We'd seen it a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed it so much we decided to try and get two more tickets before the end of the run. It was well worth it. The majority of the main players were different this time, which meant it was almost like seeing a completely new show. They all handed their roles wonderfully and brought out different nuances in their characters. Seeing it twice, as well, meant that we picked up on details of the story a little more clearly the second time round. It's fast! I can't add anything to the plaudits that have already been heaped on this spectacular piece of theatre, but the hype is more than justified.
After stopping overnight in Cardiff Bay we drove back through the tail-end winds of last night's storm. I got my gear on and did another run:
Was it fun? No!!!
Hello, Al. I coincidentally discovered King Crimson's music at the same time as I first read the Revelation Space series. Scenes in the books had the soundtrack of KC. When I read that you're a big fan of the band everything clicked!
ReplyDeleteOne scene I remember especially fondly was when Nevil Clavain was floating through space after he defected from the Conjoiners. 'Starless' fit so beautifully :).
I appreciate your work tremendously, as you might know by now.
