Wee Devil

This weekend was Glasgow's biennial Radiance Festival of light art. As part of this, Adam and Sophie took part in the production, 'Wee Devil' by an arts group, Giant Productions. They put in a lot of work, making shadow puppets, rehearsing and appearing on three succesive nights.




It was a multimedia production, with live actors and narration and a film projected against the mediaeval Provand's Lordship, Glasgow's oldest house.



Here's the performance.

And here's a cast photo. (Adam on left, Sophie on right, holding demon mask)




Afterwards, we had a spooky walk in the Necropolis.

Not a real ship. Only a model. A well cool model! The Captain is real, though. And also a Professor.

What a university department might look like, if you didn't forget to fund it for thirty years.

A fat bastard, teaching a university class.


Hej då!

Linguistic confusions in Scandiwegia:




I think I'm lost. I thought this was Copenhagen?

Probably the most boring licorice shoelaces in the world.

You'd have to be either stupid or stoned to shop here.

I've been up Jorck's passage

Oh, I don't know. I thought he looked like a cute wee...whatever he is.

Now I don't like that!

(but the sensible Scandiwegians have it under control - as always)

This tram got out of the wrong side of the bed.

Snakes in an Elevator!

Well, yes. Bacardi and sex is a fatal combination.

It'll never sell. Mind you...Cafe au Lait flavour seems somewhat appropriate...

And finally...this one speaks for itself...
