All change!

I spoke too soon. Venue is now The Space on The Royal Mile @ The Radisson Hotel, time 1.00pm (or possibly 1.05pm) daily, 7th - 29th August (excluding Sundays). I have accepted this offer as it is EVEN MORE central and has a LARGER seating capacity (55) so, with the opportunity to sell more tickets, I have the potential to just about break even financially whereas, however I rejigged the figures for The Grassmarket, I was guaranteed to make a loss, even if I sold all 31 seats every day. I feel terrible about backing out of the deal I verbally agreed yesterday as Julian who runs Sweet Venues is such a nice guy and had given me loads of his time in two long phone calls while I ummed and aahed about whether or not the space would be big enough. Apart from feeling bad about wanting to be a nice person myself and not piss anyone off, I am fairly confident that I have made the right decision.

Venue

Just heard that one of the Edinburgh venues I applied to has rejected my show. Not going to let it get me down. I have other irons in the fire. Now more determined than ever to make a success of the show so they will regret their decision and INVITE ME to perform it there next year! In my dreams?! Maybe. But you have to have dreams, don't you? And even more importantly, you have to follow them relentlessly.
