Cheltenham *Literary* Festival? I have already called my agent.

Marie: just be careful you don't end up scheduled at the same time. If he/they're on at the same slot -- and given that week is when I hope to see DT at the RSC -- it could well be a flying visit in which case you wouldn't want to miss out! Oh the dilemma: being backstage with him ("remember me? I was dancing wildly at a party where you looked pretty cornered? Didn't like to bother you...") or being further feted as an author in a Cheltenham Literary event.
BTW talking of festivals, don't suppose you're coming to Lowdham this year are you

I was talking about BET's Black Panther show over on Highbrid Nation. I honestly feel like its one of the best ideas to come out of BET in a long time. Let's face it over the last few years BET has become nothing more than "MTV starring black people". And MTV really isn't the best model for a network to follow. I plan to keep an eye on how this develops. Could it signal a change in the direction of BET?...lol probably not.
