Way out West (incorporating Way up North)

the day war broke out...

Having transferred across the snake pass to the relative civilisation that is a Manchester Airport hotel, I am mildly disconcerted to see a 'breaking news' report on Sky News saying that Hugo Chavez (Venezualen President), has ordered several battalions of troops to mass on the Colombian border. A little research reveals that the border is more than 2000km long (thank you China News agency), I suspect this is sabre rattling/posturing, and the arrival of an internationally renowned experimental theatre company is only a coincidence.

Having said that, the november 'Axis of Evil' tour was cancelled, and all previous attempts to perform in Beirut have been greeted by local anarchy, maybe there is a connection after all. Doesn't seem to work in Leeds though. More reports from the horses mouth, if there's any internet of course.
