Yet another interview (photo: Dixi at Opera Hostel, Erfurt)
Phil calls us “media puppets” as we seek publicity for The Ball. I know what he means. We both find dealing with the press — whether tv, radio or written — difficult to say the least. But we both want to see this project (and specifically the idea of The Ball) propagate beyond our own circle of friends and beyond our ability to do it ourselves because:
(a) we’re not getting any younger,
(b) we may have too many other pressing commitments,
(c) whatever else may crop up in the unpredictable future.
Whether it does depends on the support we get from other people — and that requires us to make the best of whatever channels become open to us. So then, many thanks to Sheila at the Guardian’s World Cup blog for taking a gamble on us writing something coherent.

As for stats — seems like we’ve not had a lot of traffic from the Guardian as yet… our stats are no secret either, if you’re so inclined, you can browse them here. I wouldn’t recommend it — they’re even duller than the proverbial ditch-water… I tend to look at them just to see who’s nicking our content
