Scripts for "genesis" and "Bottom's Electric Summertime Dream"

I still have around 100 pages of scanning to go. Most of this work relates to the 2 scripts. The page format for the scripts is the obsolete foolscap dimensions. If you are intending to print these out then it may mean using proportional printing techniques to avoid a page being printed out on two A4 pages (or missing part of the page if it is printed to one A4 page).

If there is any interest in having the scripts 'preserved' in a text based format I will look at creating a word document and/or PDF document for you.

If you would like this, please send an email to me (email address below) letting me know which scripts you want (genesis/Bottoms/both) and what format you would like it in (doc/pdf). When I have completed the conversion I will email you the document.

St Johns Cathederal today (under renovation)

St John's Cathedral is currently under renovation (see picture below). This project is expected to be completed in 2009. In 2006 the Queensland Government gave a $2 million grant towards the restoration of St John's Cathedral as part of the Legacy Infrastructure Program in preparation for Queensland's 150th anniversary. There is an historical link between the site and the creation of the colony of Queensland (i.e. when Queensland separated from the Colony of New South Wales) in that the proclamation that formed the colony of Queensland was read from the verandah/balcony of the Deanery (formerly known as Adelaide house).

St John's Cathedral was the venue for the final 'Genesis' performance in 1977. It is more than likely that the video from the Reunion in June will require 2 DVD's (and maybe 3 to include other material). I am looking at taking some additional footage of different venues involved with the DDYT project. I did some filming inside St John's Cathedral to possibly form part of the final presentation DVD (nothing fancy, just some pan shots to show you what it looks like today). I was trying to upload a segment of this for you to look at but it may be a little while before it is available. It appears I had a 'bad' day in Brisbane as I lost a few items (cap/cables etc) with all the running around on the day. The 'lost' power cable is needed to allow me to transfer the video to my hard drive. It utilises an 'irregular' voltage so I can't get away with a generic power supply. When I have replaced the cable I will let you know how to view the footage.

I will need to rely upon your memories though. I have taken the footage from within the Cathedral however nothing 'rang a bell' for me. Can someone confirm whether our performance was inside the Cathedral or in one of the other buildings on the site?
