Nelson:6:17am

McDonald's has free wireless and is open 24 hours in Nelson. Crazy. Feel like a bit of a yuppie wearing my suit jacket and tapping away at a laptop while sipping on my cheap coffee, but hey, maybe I am.

The Boss is playing. Makes me think of J.Phillips and the fact I promised him a cover and never delivered. Although I'm not sure if I did promise. I have rethought how to do the film that will star him. Should be better. Simplifying my ideas.

Nelson was fun, Lisa and Dan and all the Body and Space guys looked after me as well as my family up here. Very spoiled. The show seems to have been successful. An estimated 400 - 500 people attending the last show and they were kind enough to give us a standing ovation. Felt weird to receive for prancing around.

Now its time to get my fringe show as perfect as I can. I think it will be surprising and I think its cheap enough that people will take a risk on it. I hope so. Me and Eli really just want to make something we are proud of. Sure hope we do. Otherwise it will be a long walk of shame. I believe in it.

Should be on the up-coming bit of my blog soon, or now even.

Really sad I missed out on Johnny and Abby's wedding though. Think I will bake for them. I never bake, but I will for them.

The New Year

So I haven't typed on here in a few weeks or so, I guess my hordes of fans are probably wondering if I'm dead in a gutter somewhere,  the skin of my face lost of all moisture and muscle now stuck to my dry skull while my dead eyes bulge out of it just staring at the dark grimy wall in front of me. My stomach bloated and cut open with my half eaten guts just spilled on the alleyway wall where my competitors just left me to be eaten by the skinny starving dogs, their owners long dead, their bellies now full of what used to be my digestive system.

But I'm not. So fear not fan base. And by fan base I mean my loyal friend who checks here now and again.

I'm in Nelson, about to start performances of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged). If you want to know more details click on the upcoming performances or go down and click on the Dan Allen and Lisa Norriss button.

It was written the same year I was born. It is written by improvisers. So I should be ok at it yeah?

Here is a picture of one of the animals I get to hang out at my uncle and aunties place. It is really nice, out in Motueka, on top of a hill with the mountains behind you and the sea off in the distance. Its really the life. Very hot.


I also have my very own show to promote soon, but I will dedicate a whole post to that.
