slycatThe tickets I ordered yesterday to see Bill Bailey arrived today, which was quite impressive. What is more impressive is that we are row A (front row), in the centre of the Grand Circle. The Grand Circle is the second tier up but below the Balcony. Below the Grand Circle is the Royal Circle, which is level with the stage and at the front of that, you got the Orchestra Stalls. We went for the Grand Circle as we wanted a midrange ticket. The Orchestra Stalls would have been fantastic but they were £38.50 + 10% booking fees.
As you can probably tell, I've never been to one of these London theatres before so it was all rather bewildering at the time. That said, I think we got good seats for the price :) Only 3 months to go... :P
In other news, I've been playing Postal 2 quite a bit recently. I expected it to be a crap game but it's turned out to be an enjoyable, hilarious FPS game :) It's quite original in that you have to perform mundane tasks every day but they just keep on going wrong! For example, one task you have to do is to confess your sins at the church. However, when you do this, you get a group of Osama Bin Laden lookalike "Fanatics" storming the church, guns ablazing, with the aim of reclaiming the religious ground for Allah :P If you have a dark sense of humour, I suggest you check it out, it's rather short however (only five 'days' of tasks to complete) but then I'm not complaining as I never paid for it ;)

I specifically remember the woman who I was ordering the tickets with said that there is no safety rail to obstruct the view. Also, like I say, we are in the middle so no leaning will be required :)

You don't need to be especially familiar with Shakespeare's works to enjoy it, before you ask. (-8
