I hadn't planned to see any shows today because there was another World Cup warm-up match at Murrayfield on in the afternoon and before that I knew I would be occupied watching the Magpies vs Lions game at the Oz Bar. Plus lots and lots of beer. Afternoon sorted. And by the time the rugby had finished, I should be well and truly smashed anyway, so not much point planning anything. As usual though, the "planning phase" of my plan was the only thing that went according to plan. Well not really, but this time, after the rugby was done I was still up and about and so decided to go see something. After walking back into the city after a good win from the Scots over Italy in which a lot of scoring happened at both ends (Magpies had also earlier beaten the Lions) I found myself just looking around for the right show to finish my night. As I sat there between strangers eating over-priced, sobering-up, late-night pizza (the BEST kind) I was offered a free ticket to go and see the whole show (I had seen ten minutes the night before in Kitty Cointreau's show) of a guy named Spencer Maybe, called "The Last Trilogy". This is like watching a cross between a political rally and a burlesque show if you can imagine that. Maybe plays three characters in the show, one a singer trying to make a difference, the next as The Devil and lastly as God. The show revolves around his music and Maybe's stage presence is pretty full-on and totally commanding as he presents himself in various costumes and various stages of undress throughout the hour of burlesque/musical/comedy-with-a-message. Seriously, this guy has some ridiculous sex appeal and if INXS are ever looking for a Micheal Hutchence replacement (again) ...this is the guy. Its also the reason the show works. I don't always appreciate "sexy dudes" or "stuff with a message" type shows but this one is a trip!
