You: The Player.

I’m in it, come watch it if you want :)

so tomorrow, on my first day off in 18 days (not doing that again intentionally) I am going to Shepherds Bush Market to buy cheap fabric to make mock dresses with.

I’m quite excited. There’s something about the smell of fabric shops that hold a world of possibility in them. I am aware of how weird that sounds. But it’s a good smell. Like freshly photocopied paper. Or cut grass. It’s one of those smells.

And tomorrow, I get to see this. Excited.

On Monday I saw this.

On Sunday I saw this.

I wish this weren’t me on far too many occasions

‘Things To Do Before You Die (With No Money)

A friend of my has decided to embark on a social experiment whereby he takes one suggestion from 100 people and for a 100 days he will try something new - some mudane, some life-changing, some just plain weird.

He wrote the rest of it so I’ll leave it to him to explain…

Inspired by a general restlessness and a desire for a new creative spark, along with the impending end of the world - I’ve decided I need to grab life by the proverbial balls. And so I’ve decided to embark on a social experiment whereby I take one suggestion from 100 people and for a 100 days I will try something new - some mundane, some life-changing. The show would then be talking about my immediate experiences of those things as well as the larger questions about mortality and the human condition. It will ultimately be an autobiographical show but other than that I don’t really know anything about what will happen in the 100 days and that’s where you all come in. You have all been specifically chosen for various reasons and think you can all individually come at this from a completely different perspective.

The (‘With No Money’) part of the title is an aspect that will frame the whole piece and I will hopefully be asking how much you can do/get out of your life when you are scraping by financially. I hope the answer will be lots. Due to this frameworking I have set two parameters:

1. has to last three hours or less (I need to work and during the week will do these these thing around working hours)
2. has to cost nothing.
With your suggestions you could say the reason why you’d want me to do such a thing, why you would do it yourself, what you might expect to happen.
These are the suggestions I’ve had so far:
1. Go to a religious ceremony that is not of your faith
2. Hitchhike as far as you can in two hours.
3. Sleep rough (I will extend the hours for this)
4. Meet an old couple and get them to take you to the church they got married in.
5. Give 100 random people a ‘Penny for their thoughts’ (writing them down OBVIOUSLY)
6. Spend two hours learning how to beatbox (someone I know has set me up with someone..)

So this is what he is doing, if you have any suggestions let me know and I will pass them on, if you come up with anything please do tell me - even if we’ve never spoken before - I think that would be even better for Fred.
