Word of Warning... Welcome to a rather adrenalised WoW... anxiously awaiting our new print to arrive and really getting to grips with the unfeasibility of next weekend's undertaking! The idea of returning to an old haunt (greenroom) that is totally new (Gorilla) on Fri 12 Oct for Action Hero vs GO Project is a bit mind-blowing. Not to mention the sheer scale of Emergency the very next day (Sat 13). And then there's that feeling of being a party host, who's not sure if they're billynomates... and that's where you can help... please do join us at one or, preferably, both! Amidst all that I'm attempting to head to Light Night Leeds tonight including the preview of Pigeon Theatre's The Smell of Envy at the University of Leeds. The folks at Light Night have circulated a link to a map and app which I'm sure will help, but if anyone that side of the Pennines wants to tweet @warnmcr with some tips, they'll be much appreciated. As mentioned last week there's also Marc Brew Company's Triple Bill at Stage@Leeds on Sat 6 October and the Lowry's InOnTheAct festival continues in Salford Quays with Happystorm Theatre's Borderline Vultures from 6-28 Oct. For the more theatrically inclined, Contact has Fields of Grey running until 13 October. Tues 9 Oct sees the very lovely GETINTHEBACKOFTHEVAN's Big Hits at Axis Arts Centre and, for the more dance-inclined, The Lowry Studio also has 12˚ Degrees North. Thursday 11th seems to be a bonkers day, particularly in Liverpool with MDI Northern Dances at the Unity, Rowena Easton' "!" (Hollywood Blues) at the Bluecoat and Oreet Ashery's Party for Freedom at Metal, Liverpool. Skeleton Project Newk is also at Stage@Leeds, not to mention the launch of the Manchester Weekender at Mancheser Art Gallery. Of course on Fri 12th there's absolutely nothing else going on anywhere, at all except Action Hero vs GO Project's Frontman at Gorilla :) (apart from those of you going to the public dress rehearsal of Lip Service's Inspector Norse at Z-arts...!) And on Sat 13th Emergency is the only place to be... though over the course of the Weekender you might want to check out David Shrigley HOW ARE YOU FEELING (and his Show and Tell on Saturday luncthime) and Sketch-O-Matic at Cornerhouse, Jane and Louise Wilson at the Whitworth and Gina Czarnecki's The Wasted Works plus the Pop-Up Cinema at MOSI. For a bit of light relief (if Emergency isn't that already) you might also consider Lip Service's Hysterical Historical tour also on Saturday. If you've any energy left by Sunday our tip would be the The Flaneurs Guide to the Northern Quarter. Back to panicking about print and editing equipment lists now... best Tamsin
