What a long, strange trip it's been... A Writer's Reflection

After months of hard work, uncountable cups of coffee consumed, lots of jokes about nubs and copious amounts of gum and chapstick, The Seductobot hit the stage from March 2nd, 2011 to March 5th at Perrett's Corner, to a crowd of enthusiastic punters - some of whom got a little more than they bargained for when they read the blurb. Yes folks, we have scandalised, entertained, sang, danced and taught at least one important lesson about consent. And now, it's over and I must admit, I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do with myself. Sleep might be an idea. 

I'm very honoured to have met the following people through Seductobot - Saran Goldie-Anderson, Andrew Salisbury, Clare Meyer, Michael Rowlands, Scott Roy, Amy May, Louise Chow and Vynessa Smith. Thank you so much for coming on board. It's been so, so lovely to work with you and I hope we keep in touch and work together in future. 

It has been a delight to work with friends/acquaintances I knew pre-Seductobot - Kirsty McGuire, Hans Landon-Lane, Emma Wollum, Lorenz Wright, Cordelia Black, Jess Howison and Dom Whittaker. Some of you I've gotten to know a lot better, some of you have been putting up with me for years - either way, your support has been so inspiring and I really appreciate having had you around. 

Thanks to Jess Howison and her stage crew - Isaac Prentice, Oliver Ewert and Rueben Waine. You guys were awesome and kept us all in line on the nights. 

A huge thank you must also go to the lovely Elissa Moore of Perrett's Corner, who has been brilliant since we pitched this whole crazy project to her. A shout-out to the staff working during show nights - you guys were very patient with us, so thank you! Perrett's Corner Cafe and Bar is on the corner of Manners and Willis St - if you enjoyed Seductobot, why not show your support and head down for a drink sometime? Friday night is Happy Hour with some lovely drink specials... you know you want to... 

... I don't think we're quite done with The Seductobot just yet. I've heard some scandalous rumours... things like "repeat season" and "web series" so just watch this space, as there might be something in the works. However, we'd probably best take some time to recover. 

But in the meantime, this week has not one but TWO massive Song Sales for the Christchurch Earthquake Appeal! Come along to Medusa at 8pm on Thursday March 10th. Then come along to Cavern Club at 8pm on Friday March 11th. What's a Song Sale, I hear you ask? Check us out on Facebook or Blogspot...
