Blue Man Canaria
A mixed title for a bit of a mixed entry. It’s been ages since I’ve posted anything to the blog, but that’s because I’ve been busy with… sitting about. Yesterday however, a break from sitting about involved a trip to the New London Theatre to see the magnificent Blue Man Group. I’d only seen them on the Royal Variety Show (or somesuch) before, and the Intel adverts – and wasn’t really sure what to expect. In fact, walking into the theatre and seeing groups of people down the front with makeshift blue waterproof macs, and people with white paper headbands scattered across the room led me to believe I’d walked in upon some strange cult and that the Blue Man Group were next door. Of course, the Blue Man Group are exactly that weird cult I’d come to see, and before long I was chanting along with the rest of the crowd, Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday to You (no singing please) and waiting for the next “Ready Go!” And if this makes no sense to you, I recommend a night out with your new blue friends. So yes, a highly recommended way to spend the evening, and at the end of the 90-minute paint-filled, UV light toting Pringles advert, you’ll be throwing toilet paper about with the best of them and rushing home to get some Rice Krispies.
Anyway, to get to the point – tomorrow Ali and I leave for Gran Canaria, so get ready for the return of more exciting travel blogging to make you cry and question your own sanity. And I’ll leave you a great Page-a-day quote from the calendar a few days back.
A good traveller has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.
