Just got back from the Avignon theater...Hi Edwardo,<br />Just got back from the Avignon theater festival where people are putting on beautiful shows for two bits, basically, not for free, but almost, and the companies go into debt to show themselves at Avignon.<br />I read three quarters of the way through Joe's most recent post, and all I can say is... he looks a little thinner (!!!), but he sure as hell is as depressed as ever.<br />It must be all those spirits and the trash American/Mexican TV.<br />That could get Jesus Christ himself depressed, I fear...<br />More on Avignon on the blog soon...<br />(That's called a teaser, I think, right ??)Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01510189619803992336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8902921887068783713.post-76986920437495085172010-07-14T04:47:55.641-07:002010-07-14T04:47:55.641-07:00Agreed, Toby.Agreed, Toby.Edwardohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03613197383283896190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8902921887068783713.post-25287138403677572062010-07-14T03:40:38.109-07:002010-07-14T03:40:38.109-07:00As you suggested in your own post of some weeks ag...As you suggested in your own post of some weeks ago, the hope need not necessarily be (initially) for a mass social movement, but small neighbourhood 'movements' of groups stepping back and doing things differently, that can link up, via the Internet for example, and share news, developments, ideas, and so on. The way to shake off the 1000lb gorilla on our backs is quietly and patiently. In the end, we are that gorilla one way or another. It's us we're changing, not them...Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16258136994278139356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8902921887068783713.post-44066476624351579572010-07-13T14:43:01.691-07:002010-07-13T14:43:01.691-07:00That's the question.
