Bloguemahone: Dispatches from the road

[Eric V]

I remember having this question back when I read your blog but got distracted. Here goes.... you wrote this:

"Shane, Joey and Victoria arrive from the station, and by degrees, Fiona removes all the drinks and glasses and cheese-plates from the room she’s taken such pains to prepare for us, into the room next door, which Shane and Joey and Victoria have taken up. It’s just a partition wall between them which I wonder vaguely whether or not can be taken away. I wish it were".

Aside from apparently having all of your refreshments taken away , what's with the partition? Was that the norm for the whole tour, or did you get your wish and tear down the wall?

[Chichi Ramone]

James,

Will you be writing about the US tour.
And i dont want to hear no for an answer

Yeah that would be great... and I would love to accompany it with photographs.

No, it was just the way the dressing rooms are oftentimes and the way we sort of decant ourselves into them. There's generally like a common room that we gather in, if there's more than one and the whole thing is pretty happenstance. There's nothing particulary symbolic about the partition wall, if that's what you're driving at. It's not a metaphor for anything, though it could quite easily be mistaken for such.

Josie, I got your PM but I haven't replied to it yet. Sorry. Perhaps I should do that now.

Of course, I'll be making notes on the East Coast thing coming up, taking everything in, and then scribbling about it when I get home, you know I will.

Yea, that was what I was driving at. And I'm glad you guys don't feel the need to wall yourselves off from each other.... more than any other group traveling around from city to city together might feel the need to. I guess most of all I wanted to think you guys are all friends after all, and your mention of the wall seemed significant. You are a very honest writer, and I like that. You slightly jabbed (not attacked) just about everyone in your blog, even us fans.

[JamesFearnley]

Jabbed?

Thanks very much for your comment about my honesty. I try to be fair. I mean, I mean well - with the exception of Mike Batt in the stuff I wrote about the rehearsals for the Jonathan Ross Show, because, well, Mike Batt?

Thanks for "jabbing" me, James.. It'll increase the value of the dvd on Ebay.

The point I was making no longer seems to have a leg to stand on does it?

Prost to you too
