Today's door on the Advent Calendar is another very urgent and important Christmas Appeal.
Can you help poor Simon with a disease that is ruining lives this Christmas season?
Of course you can't, he is doomed.
Merry Christmas!

Advent Calendar Day 1
Don't say I never give you anything.
There's going to be a new(ish) thing available everyday till Christmas.
Today it's TAT!
On the First Day of Christmas my true love gave to me - a whole heap of shitty things from The Museum of Tat virtual gift shop.
HORRID MUGS?
We've got three designs! (Well, two really - a general mug design, and there are specific left and right handed versions of the second.)
NEVER WANTED A MUSEUM OF TAT DUVET COVER?
We've got your nightmares sorted!
WANT TO SMOTHER SOMEONE IN TAT?
We've got a pillow for that!
I'm not joking - this pointless tat is now available online NOW!
Merry Christmas from the Museum of Tat.

Opening the Doors
Later today I'm going to be doing a bit of recording. The first installment of a new audio series to accompany one of my projects for the year - The Museum of Tat. We're going to be improvising the text and, though I have some idea where I want to go, it could move in almost any direction. Most of the material for this project will go on the sister blog - Museum of Tat - but I will talk about how the production side of things happen here.
What is the The Museum of Tat going to be about? Well, it's about our culture, it's about how we cherish somethings and hate other - by using the word tat, we make a value judgement. But is what we call tat something really worthless? Some people love their tat. They can't get enough of it.
And then there's the question - how do we define tat? As opposed to, say, kitsch. Where do the boundaries lie?
And then there's the other question - what is the price of tat? Because, to give us our tat, resources are spent, workers exploited, people - literally - die to give us it.
And then there's the straightforward fun in wandering round charity shops looking for tat and just wondering - what the hell were they thinking?
So, lots of angles. We'll see where we go.
More soon...

The Kraken Turns Off the Snooze Alarm
And I'm back in the room. It's been a while and I can tell you've missed me. Well, from Wednesday I will be six and a half projects down out of the ten of the year. That will see the last episode of Lost Tribe of the Trolls release and the writing of recording of the final story of The Trolls Trilogy for release over the next few months. That leaves three projects. But what are they going to be?
Well, here the Seldom Plan hits again (see past posts ad nausem) - there be changes afoot. I'm still going to be presenting the oft mentioned Historic Crimes in October - this will be a live streamed radio drama, tickets for the recording will be available from the Quay Theatre box office.
Otherwise, the last two projects are going to be more internet based and have no specific timetable. I have already started one. It is called The Museum of Tat - and it has a blog all of its very own.

This will be an evolving project, but in the short term it will mostly be made of photography and video pieces - which will be published online.
Then there is another work in progress I'm calling Just Say Yes (no affiliation to a rather dull Snow Patrol song, youth empowerment companies or fascist organisations etc)- which will be created at the Quay Theatre (probably) on the fifteenth of September. Or not. It will be a one-to-one piece, but later a video work. Or not. More later.
Otherwise, two of my other projects are still alive and well. The Shakespeare Delusion is performing again in London in October, as will the very popular The Juliet Inquiry, which I might be able to stream live (details to follow.) So, this is very much the year of my Shakespeare Trilogy - which Historic Crimes will complete - all three pieces performing in close succession.
