I got a thank you note from the people behind Hell's Half Acre:

I want to say thank you to everyone for coming down to visit Hell's Half Acre at The Old Vic Tunnels. The show was a resounding success with 15,000 visitors during what is the busiest week in the London art world, and without each of you this could not have been achieved.

The press has been rampant from the Washington Post to The Independent, The Evening Standard, Modern Painters and Vanity Fair. However, I think you will all agree it is the the quality of artwork rather than the acclaim that has drawn in the masses, both the veteran fans and the much-welcomed newcomers to the Lazarides experience.

Though my version of hell has now come to an end, I hope you will all come check out our permanent gallery spaces, the Lazarides Gallery on Rathbone Place, The Outisders on Greek Street and in Newcastle We have a number of exciting exhibitions on the programme going into 2011 that are not to be missed. Curious? You should be...

I was thinking of getting tickets for Krapps Last tape tonight, but I am listening to your advise Beate and giving it a miss... (going to a "talk" instead)

Can someone really clever tell me how to book for the concerts with Kelis, Paloma Faith and The Hoosiers with the Russian Standard Vodka originals?

And it may be a bit soon to get confirmation as

The Hoosiers is on 15th November
Kelis is on 29th November
and Paloma Faith is on 1st December

I booked for Paloma Faith and just got my congratulations email to say I won a pair of tickets. However, to get the tickets I have to p*y £2.25 for the delivery fee, but the tickets are sent via email !! I a bit annoyed about that. What sort of prize is that I have to p*y!

[Rainey]

Oh that is a bit cheeky, I got some for Kelis for my sister and yep I just clicked on the link and £2.25 for a 'secure email delivery so you can print yourself!!

[prettyxcool]

it's the principle of it! you have won but need to p*y to get it! haha

And there is no guarantee of entry if you are late!

Did you get your emails today?? I applied for Kelis but have not heard anything....I guess I have been unlucky

I woulnd't go out of principle, I'm very good at cutting off my nose to spite my face. Seriously though, its a bit off asking for money to send an email. its bad enough p*ying a booking fee for tickets you order and pick up in person at the box office

Yes just got the email.

Yeah, thinking the same! I only wanted to see her again as it was free. I saw her at V this year and really enjoyed it, and she was at Jools Holland the other night too, in the audience, we waved at her and she waved back.

I get peed off with p*ying for booking fee... I mean why??? If no one booked, the show would not happen and you'd all be out of a job... Plus how can you justify £2.50 for a piece of paper?
