Drawing near

Its one week today until our first performance: Broken Mic Night, and ideas are flying everywhere, posters have gone up in Chester all we need to do now is prepare our final plans for the performance!

Press release

The press release has been sent out!

Venue

We have our venue confirmed -

Broken Mic night is to take place on the 1st of june 2009, arrive for 7pm, beggining at 7.15pm

in the frog and nightingale in chester

Venue hastle

We were in a rush to find a venue so we scoured chester town for one, we found one and talked to the day manager and he said it should be ok but hell get the manager to call us and confirm .... that was on monday and weve still not had that phonecall, weve called back and asked again but nothing. were assuming it will be ok though, because the day manager said he couldnt see there being a problem !
so we put out the press release on tuesday and then found out we had to change our day/time, as another company was performing then - nightmare! anyway after a LOT of discussion and thinking we changed our performance day to the monday and now we just need to get back in touch with the venue to make sure this is ok!
watch this space for confirmation of our performance date and time :-)

Liverpool

well we went to liverpool to do some filming and collect confessions from people to hopefully use in the performance, and it was either a bad day or just people dont like the look of us because we only got about 3 confessions we could use, and no one agreed to be filmed. :-( but we tried, and tommorow after a practical session were hopefully going to film some confessions from people in chester

What we have been up to

We went to view a venue in Rhyl on tuesday and we fell in love when we walked through the door, there are some issues with the venue though - one of them being that its in rhyl so were still in the looking process, were checking for other places in chester and discussing our options.
We did a full day of filming in the venue on tuesday, some will hopefully be posted on our blog and the rest is to be edited and used in broken mic night (our first performance)
were going to liverpool tommorow to do another day of filming confessions.
We also need our followers to post some confessions up onto the blog to use in our performances, it can be anything big or small, even a secret or an embarrasing story will do.

What we want from our followers

as a company we need your confessions and secrets for our upcoming production please leave your posts they can be annoymous. the production will be taking place the first week in july the exact date and venue will be announced as soon as they have been arranged.

Two truths and a lie

In an attempt to evaluate people's ability to hide the truth and lie to the world we played two truths and a lie, and discovered that we can either all lie very well, OR we just don't know each other at all!
Apparantly it is very easy for people to keep their secrets locked up inside!
