A lot of the time, when people say, "The audience didn't laugh enough." I translate that to, "This production could not afford to properly mic the audience."

Turned the oven on while the pav was cooling. Perhaps the greatest crime a person can commit on Christmas day. Will be calling the police on myself and accepting the consequences.

Shout out to the person who helped me find the last copy of The Book of Guilt at Unity, even though they wanted it themselves. 😭 The Christmas spirit is powerful in Tāmaki.
