Well, it's 1am here in Mumbai so maybe no thai emails will be beig dug up today. Just a quick entry that, yes, the bollywood thing was legit and, yes, I was bedecked inthe most AWFUL mustard suit you will ever see in your life.
But there was me standing in the background doing very little, and me jumping up and down like a LOON in this giant dance scene with everyone else, and yes, it was a lot of fun.
If I wake up in time tomorrow, I will totally go again, while sometimes it was boring, it was really a great experience, and totally worth it.
Ok, I don't want to wake up my most generous hosts, so I'll have to post my fuller details tomororw. But I met some star and had my picture with him, was on the same table as Salman Khan's girlfriend (too made up - maybe it looks better that way on film), ran around with what was generally agreed as an authentic indian accent, and again, wore the worst mustard suit. Ever.
Hope I make a final cut for something, somewhere! My dancing really shouldn't be missed! What was it the director said?
"Now, I am wanting it to be that you are all to be standing and being the jumping with your hands in the air. I am wanting the jumping and the hands in the air for this scene."
God, you don't need to give me an engraved invitation for that stuff, eh?
I'm sure anyone can guess the plot of a Bollywood film, so it doesnt' bare repeating except it seems they only have one plot, and one set of main stream actors... only the extras differ. And the Bollywood studio we were in? Think reconstruction post ww2 Berlin, and you are getitng an idea of the outside. But the inside sets were fantastic. Well, set, there was only one. But it was pretty good. It was a wedding scene!
Oh! And congrats to Haran and Dim who just got engaged. If you are wanting a person to be doing the standing and the jumping with the hands in the air, then on the wedding day you must be giving me the vile mustard suit. I am telling you, you will not be regretting it.
I took some photos, but the videos I grabbed were, I feel, much more authentic. And fun!
Ok, going to be doing a laughing club tomorrow, so no thai reminiscing tonight, maybe the next day?

How is it that you used to be despised by English teachers and purveyors of other literary knowledge?
If only they could see you now - entrancing the blogging public with your sordidly riveting tales of the S'Pore nightclub scene - bamboozling them by using the word "dyspraxia" with flagrant disdain, as if it were some lesser word like "deossification"
It just goes to show that years of browsing comic books can turn you into an accomplished internet writer loved by a wide readership. In many ways it is inspirational - like that dyspraxic kid who got horribly burnt or that short weather man who won dancing with the stars. Today Tonight will surely hear about this.
