Last chance to back Star Citizen

Just a reminder that if you were planning to back the Star Citizen kickstarter and haven't done so yet, you have about 6 hours to do so. The game is already the most successful crowd funded video game ever, having raised $5.5 million (via Kickstarter and the game's own website). While I personally think all the higher reward tiers are a bit bonkers, laying out for the base game now if you're likely to buy it (at $35 it's still cheaper than a standard new release) will allow for extra features and manpower and a better game.

Uncle Vanya tonight in London

The talented and hard working Ashrow Theatre Company are putting on a new production of Chekhov's "Uncle Vanya" tonight at the White Bear Theatre in London before taking the production on tour. I love the cynicism of Russian humour, think it's fantastic that they've had the courage to put on something a bit out of the ordianry, and will be along to see the production soon, although I can't make tonight in London sadly. If you're stuck for something to do this evening, and in London, you may want to consider it, as there's still a few tickets let.

(The observant among you may be able to figure out my connection to the Company. It's left as an exercise for the reader. No, I'm not in it.)
