Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas


Last night we attended a student production of Fear and Loathing.. which was experimental to say the least. We knew we were in for an interesting night when, as we were queuing up at the entrance, the cast, dressed like hippies on acid, burst out the doors and proceeded to rough us up a little and destroy our tickets (and possibly the concept of conventional theatre). They then spent the next 2 hours screaming at us, throwing Las Vegas gambling chips at us and subjecting us to the heady aroma of marijuana joss sticks. Needless to say it was our kind of night. The only downside was leaving the theatre slightly disorientated (and may be a little high on inscense).

Bring on the next student production!

Thank you Marijn and Ruud!

The Zarfoot recently took a trip to Holland to visit our good friend Marijn. We had a fantastic time and would like to say a huge Thank You to them both for taking time off to show us around Amsterdam and their hometown. And also for their generous hospitality, which included many cream cakes, beers and appelsaps!!

BeDankt!

Just for Ruth...

As Ruth went off on her travels she left me with a present, a present which would require skill, care, lots of attention and most importantly-Love. That present was a bonsai.



After a shaky start, involving well I guess some would call it death, the bonsai has made a remarkable recovery and in all its glory here it is for the world to see:












Just look at that new shoot, reaching out, showing us what's made of!

Shame it has to be 'pruned' really...

Farewell fellow DVC members

2007 has been very tragic for Zarfoot. During the last couple of months we have lost 3 of our favourite DVC members (the only 3!). Ruth departed in January to travel the globe. The Netster couldnt get far enough away from us and left for New Zealand, and Dominic the resident philospher was cruelly cast out into the cold, wet mancunian streets.

We are devasted by our loss.....
