American parity tour 2012 - part 1

Parity no more alas. Please let me have paid off my romp at the Sorrento hotel in Seattle. And it was a romp. Oh my, was it a romp, but I wouldn't change a single second or scrimp a cent. I've never had so much fun, and, should I not again, the memories of the Hunt Bar will keep me warm for a while.

American parity tour 2012 - part 2

So to the theatre. Managed three out of four of the productions I'd gone to see, which isn't bad, all things considering, and how fast and loose I was playing with my plans (walking and looking, yes, photos and writing, not so much). Stuff came up that seemed important at the time, ain't it always the way. It was stuff that sent me to New York in the first place, still fuming like an over-ripe volcano over being denied my trip to Blighty last year. When I heard that One Man, Two Guvnors was transferring to Broadway, it was on. If the UK wasn't to be, then maybe I could sneak off to America? Thus begins the most anglophile trip to New York since my ancestors were sent packing (God Save the King!).
