OMG it’s Sigourney Weaver

Monday 6th January 2025, 9.45pm (day 4,883)

Sigourney Weaver, 6/1/25

I don’t entirely do the Cult of Celebrity but tonight I’m making an exception. I think most of the audience of The Tempest — with Sigourney Weaver as Prospero — stuck to the rules and did not spend the whole performance taking pictures (and she was on stage throughout every minute): but no one said anything about the curtain call. It’s not often one gets to see a movie legend in the flesh.

The ‘Princess Louise’ pub, High Holborn, London

Friday 10th January 2014, 4.30pm (day 869)

Princess Louise, 10/1/14

I have a weekend to catch up on, and a very good weekend it was. Here, in London on Friday night, is where it began — specifically the ‘Princess Louise’ pub on High Holborn, a great old-fashioned Victorian drinking palace with tiles, etched mirrors, little booths and snugs and good beer, what more does one need? (The flare to the bottom right of the image is a bit distracting, but I think I get away with it.)
