adjusting to life as a stateless person. very strange not being able to get on a plane, or prove my identity. jam telling me that idenity theft is big here -great. well, it won't do them much good pretending to be me!

had a fab time at the burns night - haggis, neeps and tatties for sixty at the beasties studio. wonderful stories, poetry, singing - gorgeous night. will told me that glasgow was the only place in western europe to have a communist uprising - pictures of tanks rolling into george square.

had a meltdown in edinburgh when the consulate told me I have to go to london for a new passport quickly - so taking the train sunday. have nothing else to do, and after tonights party will sleeeep.
burning king, queen and peasant music for the event tonight - maxwell house is a hive of activity, visual fx, decorations, all the kids dressing up - it promises to be a wild night. thinking I really have to take a long hard look at my priorities in life - then someone pointed out that's the joy of being a fabulously insane artstar - sure everything has gone totally haywire but goddammit I'm gonna stay for the party. well, there was no point leaving earlier. and I had the artists networking day too in stirling - lovely train ride, some interesting talks but was completely beyond networking or discussion.

disco nap and back on form now, finishing my outfit of purple silk skirt with a black and purple wig. must go and photograph the people.
