Survived a Melb Com Fest too. Anyway, seems I'm cool to update/mangle it.<br /><br />From memory the only problem I had with Tassie Babes I was too pissed/inattentive to follow a storyline on the night, so perhaps where there's a danger of that serving the piece, instinct tells me we should whack in some gratuitous obscenity and pornography.<br /><br />Tell me what you'd especially like to see in Tassie Babes either from the book, or as might be happening in your neighbour's bathroom, and, well, you never know.. bedesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795390.post-48218214411810457152009-04-21T17:57:00.000+10:002009-04-21T17:57:00.000+10:00Look guys, nothing 100% official yet.
We're ...Look guys, nothing 100% official yet. <br /><br />We're yet to hear back from the brilliant Slem aka Steve Le M of the Felafel writing constellation who might still have a stagey version lying around from about '97ish. <br /><br />Courtesy, friendship and loyalty dictate that nobody gets psycho on an updated Tassie Babes stage gig until the great Slem's spoken. <br /><br />I've sent him an email which contained some of the following observations:<br /><br />"Hey Slem, Like Spinal Tap being big in Japan long after their careers are over, the updated Felafel gig had full houses over the weekend. Anyhow, there’s momentum in the offing. Wondering if, (for a small percentage my end that I’d donate to the Bris Arts Theatre), if I could update/mangle your Tassie Babes script and get it up and running up there next year, using Natalie Bochenski to direct/produce again. If understandably after all these years, you don’t have a copy of a Tassie Babes script, I’d be happy to whip one up, fire it over to you for your expert input, and split the credits so the posters look familiar. Whattayareckon? I attach for your perusal a copy of a modernised Felafel which is the same as usual, bumfucked with Brizzy, techie & Birmo blog references. Love Si x"<br /><br />Anyway, he's a busy working family kinda guy now. It'll probably take a week or two for him to get around to his emails. It could be his script, or I might help out, or a bit of both. <br /><br />Fingers crossed. Either way, we'll see that you get it.

It was my wife who made other plans, but I have a suspicion that was because I had the dates wrong to start with. <br /><br />Anyway that's a wonderful essay Natalie, and deserves publication in its own right. You're spot on with the quote from Sartre - his characterisation of <I>les Autres</I> is totally about people outside one's in-group, perhaps so strange as to be completely incomprehensible. I think your correspondent's reverence for the French verges on self parody, but clearly is about them being "respectable" counterculture. Not like the rest of us, apparently.Damianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08537136518971140642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795390.post-63466860251648140172009-04-20T17:01:00.000+10:002009-04-20T17:01:00.000+10:00maybe he needs to read the book then hell get the ...maybe he needs to read the book then hell get the correct dose of "gratuitous obscenity and pornography" that he needs to satisfiy his anal erotica winge fantasys ... im no literary genius ( will not spell check to hioghlight this point ) jhon birmingham and nick earls have made me read more than in the last 13 years than i ever did in 12 years of education ... and it would be the only reason i would see a play . its is bringing un educated people blue collars like me and the wife in to the thearter cause we under stand it on a personal level... we will be coming to see fallafel ab hope that JB and the playright dude Simon Bedak butt heads together and do tasmainian babes as a follow up......<br /><br /><br />thats my say<br />an illiterite redneck from ipswich...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795390.post-61717652493206412472009-04-20T16:58:00.000+10:002009-04-20T16:58:00.000+10:00Compelling rebuttal GC.
