Note from Rufus regarding BlackoutsabbathPosted 6/18/2009 by rufus Dearest Sabbathites:
(Try saying THAT without a lisp!) Rufus here writing to you from the beautiful garden of the Berlin Ensemble where I've come to survey and perform in a TV taping of the Sonnets project I did with Bob Wilson. Don't know when it will air but stay posted and ready for more improved Anglo-German relations, hopefully there will be subtitles and we can really forget about the whole thing! Anyway, I suppose I should steer away from world history and focus on what's making history: the second annual Blackoutsabbath is upon us! Since I'm in and out of this play thing I'm going to have to keep this message short and save up my literary genius for a later date when I can recount my first Blackoutsabbath on an English moor. Yes, that's right! I'm presently living on a Bronte-esque patch of land, like, 1000 acre patch: opted for the eternal charms of the British countryside rather than the fast streets of downtown Leeds.
So, I have to make a confession: as well as being Blackoutsabbath, Saturday June 20th is also the first official tech run through of my opera, Prima Donna. Jorn is flying in and it's the first time all will see the whole thing with movement and without people reading the music. It's going to be pretty amazing and alas, I cannot miss it. Thus accordingly, my own personal Blackoutsabbath will start at 2 pm! Now, this obviously does not mean that everyone has to start later. Those who begin at noon feel free to start the blackout wave (sounds like some kind of plague). In reality, the fact that I'm starting late is, in fact, a great message for those of you who couldn't start at noon and can now follow the Master and begin when you can. So good luck, and good Blackoutsabbath, but most importantly (and this is serious!), candles can kill so be vigilant.
Love, Rufus.
