If you really loved me the way you say you do...

As it turns out my last author's today is my tomorrow, so I'm currently on hold to unlock my third Big Bang post. I've even done the dirty dishes to kill some time. *grins*

I also wrote a couple of short bookreviews and planned my trip to Amsterdam tomorrow.

After that I tried to figure out if I still can go see Tim Minchin in London in December. I really want to see the man on stage, but I found out this orchestra-tour is more of a stadium-gig than a theatre performance and now I don't know if that would be worth it for me. There will be tons of people and the stage is relatively far away, right? Plus it's on a Tuesday which means I will have to take at least two, but preferably three days off to get to the UK and back...

I love him to bits and pieces though. I fell for his atheist lyrics and if you are into that I recommend his brilliant If You Open Your Mind Too Much, Your Brain Will Fall Out (Take My Wife), but to show you he also writes wonderful non-religion-related songs, I picked this one:

My favorite bit is the one at the end about tax-returns;)
If you want to hear more, listen to his beatpoems: like Angry (feet) (stagevideo) or the nine minutes long but oh so worth it Storm (textvideo)

See what I mean? How awesome would it be to see him live? I'm going to postpone my decision until after the BigBang and Amsterdam. What to do, what to do?

I think you should go see him anyway because he is clearly amazing and funny and it would probably be worth it either way, no? And you can always combine with a nice West End show if you have to take three days off anyway *g*.

I'm leaning towards going, or at least buying a ticket, since it's not that expensive and then I can still decide later. You make a good point about adding another show to the program. December should be filled with seasonal performances. Are you still sure you can't go with me? *pouts*

Nope, I wish! I'd love to go to London for Christmas *balks* but it's our busiest time of the year, etc etc.

I shall reiterate: maybe I should quit my job *g*.

Your job sucks. *pouts some more*

He is awesome live, so if you can go I'd highly recommend it.

I will definitely buy a ticket and then hope to be able to arrange days off. It's one step closer to going, at least;)
