The more observant reader will notice that the title of this post is 'open' suggesting that it might be the beginning of a new series. Well done those readers, that reader anybody?
Anyway, the title of this post is:
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO RICHARD'S BASS BAG TOURS?
You might remember that Richard of RBB used to take visitors on a rather dodgy and sketchy tour of greater Wellington, concentrating on points of interest - well, of interest to him I guess. We haven't heard anything about this recently. Maybe it's because of the problems he has had in trying to leave 'the valley' to get to the greater part of Wellington.
See this from his most recent post:
I guess that he's getting old and Richard's Bass Bag Tours are becoming a bit too much for him. In fact this is what he himself said in a comment on that very post:
"Okay, it's not long after 3.30pm and I'm sitting on our couch. I continued cleaning the outside walls on our house and now I feel exhausted - I'm feeling my age lately. I can't even be bothered going down to the computer where it is easier to type. A big fly came inside a little time ago. We used to call them blowflies. Noisy buggers! Imagine his experience. It's a beautiful day outside. The flowers and the greenery look very inviting, but he sees an open door and two double basses and imagines that it might be fantastic inside! As it turns out, not much inside appeals to him but now he can't find the way out. He probably thinks, "Fuck!" I wonder if Heaven might be similarly disappointing for humans? Maybe the Christian god just likes different things. Maybe the music in Heaven is all church music? Maybe pubs are full of altar wine? Like thar fly, maybe we're better off outside?" |
