Two years later.... red_mike_yog February 16 2011, 05:47:03 UTC
Was there ever a report on how the evening went? Was a good time had by all? Is there a recording?

hurrah, first comment that's not Russian spam!

no, I don't think that anyone had ever followed up with a report. It was held in a bar and on the whole it all went rather well. With lots of booze, how could it not? I thought that a couple of the readers/translators should have practised a bit more to keep up with the on screen dialogue but the main bloke who was also compering it (??Roger) was very funny, especially when he went off script. Alas I'm not aware of a recording

all in all wile good craic hey, as they say in these here parts

It sounds like a grand time. I'm only sorry I missed it. (But oceans will get in the way, and not learning about it 'til two years later would also be a bit of a problem.)

Has the event been repeated?

oh, and that just reminded that one of the local Fools on the Hill (ie our MLAs) put in a complaint about it beforehand

Although he has not seen Flesh Gordon, Stormont Culture, Arts and Leisure Committee member David McNarry questioned its inclusion in the festival's programme.

"Porn is porn, is porn, is porn - and whether it is done Ulster-Scots-style, well, it really doesn't come into it," said the UUP MLA.

"This event has presumably been given funding and all this kind of thing does is make people look all the harder at an application the next time it comes round.
