On This Day: 24th May

Two very different shows in very different venues on this day Before The Lockdown:

in 2011

What can you say about Avenue Q? This time at the Bristol Hippodrome, having previously seen it in London five years earlier, and it was still wonderfully joyous, poignant, uplifting, and celebratory.
I think Avenue Q  would have been the first time I'd seen any show that used puppets as characters and the wonder of it was that you very quickly forgot that they were puppets. Even, as in the case of Avenue Q when their handlers are there on stage visibly operating them. They believed they were real and were so unashamedly 'real' that you couldn't not believe in them as well.
Tackling very real issues, that are to our shame still real issues today, including racism, homelessness, anxiety, sexual identity all with a warmth and humour that engages with everyone.
A wonderful, wonderful show. I really should see it again.

in 2019

Burdall's Yard is described as an "intimate, engaging and exploratory space for immersive performance" and is run by Bath Spa University and is the venue used for a lot of the BSU performances during SparkFest, their contribution to the Bath Festival.
It was here that I saw After Party, a two-hander that wonders what might come of two good people meeting at a nightclub and going home together.
Touching on how relationships can develop after a chance meeting and how quickly we open up about ourselves when you meet someone you immediately 'connect' with.
Actually written as a comedy in three acts, it worked remarkably well as the clumsiness and insecurities of the young couple contrasted with the darker elements in their lives that they were either trying to cope with or bury at the nightclub.

Car Mechanic Simulator 2021: Plymouth Fury 'Christine'

Barn Find For the second of my 'off camera' rebuilds, I taking on a car that is not only iconic but also infamous ... The 1958 Plymouth Fury known as 'Christine'!   Another barn find, the Fury is a mod created by Fulysic and includes many features you'll recognise from the film. Anyway, this is what she looked like when I got her back to the Numpty The Car Fixer garage:   As is often the way with Barn finds, the frame and bodywork are in pretty good shape, it's just all the mechanicals that need a lot of work! Even so, it was nota  cheap acquisition but I'm hoping that some love and care will be rewarded with a healthy profit.    My intention with this project is to restore 'Christine' to her former glory, but with just a little extra power under the bonnet. The engine was in a sorry state so it was a case of taking it all apart and rebuilding it from scratch. The restoration keeps the original V8 OHV 6P but with a modest performance increase to t...

Transport Fever 2 Modular Station Tutorial

I've had some fun playing around with the new modular station feature that was added to Transport Fever 2 and, despite it's limitations, found that it is possible to create quite a few fun (or ridiculous!) configurations! As I haven't seen anyone else create a video tutorial for the modular stations, nor a presentation of  the designs you can create I thought I would have a go ... in my own inimitable long-winded style! So, here they are. Part 1 is a basic tutorial covering how the feature works and what limitations there are and in Part 2 I show off some examples of designs ... well, as many as my limited imagination would stretch to! I'm using just base game / vanilla options but if anyone would like me to look at any of the modded station options I'd be happy to have a go.
