  1. Hi all...I voted.

    Angela Davis is a real role model.  Imagine if SHE was president!

  2. Hello, Mickey and Rosemarie - from a rather wet Daylesford.  There’ll also be plenty of rain on the upcoming weekend.
    Still .. the largest rural gay and lesbian event aka ChillOut Festival will go ahead - time to party!

    And I agree with you, Rosemarie: 
    “Angela Davis is a real role model.’

    Have a very good weekend, you two and any expendables who comment after us.

  5. Thanks, Andy. Btw, how did it go with the reporter who covered your show?

  6. Great, Rebecca is a really great person. She loved the show too.

    But, she hadn’t heard from the PG editor on the piece, she’s writing it and sending it in anyhow.

  7. The PG editor tends to be a little slow.

  8. Hello all. Completely off the post topic, but interesting: PETA vs Matthew Herbert’s One Pig. I know where I stand.

  9. Free the pigs (including the NYPD)...

  10. It’s interesting how people will hate on PETA because of their publicity stunts.

    PETA just use any means necessary to drive traffic into their site and get their name/issues about, then worry later. 90% of their work is unseen.

    If people were equally as ‘outraged’ at pollution and animal abuses then we’d be getting somewhere. It reminds me of people who go ballistic at those not seen to be ‘supporting the troops’ when they should be going ballistic about the occupation.

    Finding excuses to feed the denial.

    My heroes are conscientious objectors and veggie/animal activists like PETA and ALF, thank you very much, haters.

    China news, zoo keeper forgets to lock cage, gets eaten by tiger - in Shanghai. And this just in - tigers don’t like cages and are not enamored with their captors.

  11. Agreed. For all it’s hits and misses, PETA is one of the few non-corporate organizations that has a global reach and rep.

  16. Mickey #3: Great to have your blog and to find oneself in the company of expendables!

    Hello, Andy, Keir and Michael.  Here is a great new cabaret show from down under:  they performed at ChillOut (gay and lesbian) Festival’s Carnival Day yesterday.  Although it was a very wet afternoon, fun was had by all present:
