London life

Felt like a busy week.

After the arts marketing conference came back to London and saw Hamlet. It was a good production, but not the best Hamlet I have seen, have to admit I didn't feel emotionally engaged. However, Jude Law does have a charismatic presence, but ultimately I don't think I felt drawn in by anybody, it was rather a relief when they all died.

Was lucky enough to attend the Wynton Marsalis concert and reception to launch his big bands partnership with the Barbican. Fantastic dual piano playing going on.

However cannot believe that they have spent all that money trying to make the Barbican more friendly and they neglected to put up signposts from the Tube. Not surprised that my friend Tim couldn't find his way out either, its still not obvious guys!

Soho theatre

Went and saw something can't recall name of play but it was entertaining.

theatre is so nice and how clever they are to put comedy in after the performances.

Though I will have to remember sitting on a bar stool gets wearing after 90 minutes.

Liquid Architecture

Unfortunately I was stricken with some winter disease so missed most of the program, but managed to catch 2 acts and really enjoyed it. Heard from others that it was a great program.

Saw the Sydney program curated by Jen Teo and Shannon, great job.

Arts Marketing

It was a stimulating week to attend the arts marketing summit and to hear speakers, talking about future trends in worlds of advertising and philanthropy. It has set me off looking at futurist trends.

I was really taken with the "friendraising" as opposed to fundraising stance of the Met Museum.
