Does anyone still 'do' jigsaws ? You know the ones with a 1000 pieces that you take weeks to put together but at the end of it you have a great inner satisfaction at having achieved something and the picture you have created looks really good and your proud to show it off to anyone who is unfortunate enough to know you !
Or is everything these days computer graphics, shoot 'em up knock em down, MSN messenger, texting where you don't have to talk to anyone or actually physically do anything (is this starting to get a bit philosophical or what ?)
Putting together the Bananathon is a bit like doing a jig saw - in fact its harder than doing a jig saw - we all know what the picture we want to create looks like in our heads, we know when its got to be completed by - but you cant really describe it to everyone else who is helping you look for the right pieces.
Do you get the corner pieces first, or the bits with a straight edge, do you put the ones with a certain colour together, how do you know you wont end up with a missing piece ! (lets not go there)
Jumping forward to September 13th one of the liveliest pieces (can a piece be lively ?) of our jig saw is that well known five piece combo (so in fact that is five pieces of our 1000 piece jig saw all in one go !) known as White Van Man (www.myspace.com/whitevanmanrock) who will be providing some of the evenings entertainment - those that have already seen the band will already know what a great evening lies ahead - those that haven't seen them already - where have you been hiding for the last eight years !!
