And you're as intriguingly cryptic as ever. If the work is sexy enough I hope it'll sell too! Find out soon enough I suppose... because I could really use a change in scale and income too.

Do I have forum buddies!? More importantly, would I really want to physically meet anyone from the forum? Not sure.

By the way what did you think of the live videos? On the one hand i felt like the came from a Fellini movie, which means that i found them great, fulfilling and real, but on the other voyeristic since i knew it wasn't a film but just a camera recording..?
Greetings to you all, I haven't read your posts in a while

Hello, are you asking me this question? Do you mean the Bal Masqué live footage? or are you answering Nick Knight about the Antony & Johnsons gig?

Hi. Well I as asking everyone this question, and yes it was about the Bal Masque footage. What did you all think of it? I'm afraid I didn't see the Anthony&Johnsons gig, it sounds really good

Short of actually being there, the live footage was really interesting to watch - I get what you mean about Fellini but it also brought to mind other things, like the wedding feast scenes in 'Company of Wolves' and the Oliver Reed/Alan Bates(?) naked wrestling bit in 'Women in Love'? And hints of other film refs I couldn't place. Overall, slightly menacing and covertly decadent, bar the karaoke. I'd have liked to see the ballroom more but, as with the Peter Saville Cinderella rework, I may have been unlucky and missed bits - wasn't exactly glued to the screen the entire time!

Can something be entirely voyeuristic if you've been explicitly invited to watch? It doesn't feel that way to me, but then I may be a shameless hussy.

Thinking back, it would have been much better to actually be there though - to chose where to be, what to look at, how and when. Oh, and taste Heston Blumenthal's icecream.

There's a French film called 'Wild Side' directed by Sébastien Lifshitz, which apparently has a leading role with Antony in it. I haven't seen it but I've heard it's visually very good, has anybody seen the movie and is it worth tracking down?

Somebody in the studio just said if you like nobs it's great. Anything slightly more productive welcome...
