MLP Newsletter April 2005

Small Print
In order to gain mentions in the newsletter, performers are requested to keep me up to date with their latest news, reviews, acts, antics, costumes, ideas, appearances, pictures, plans and gossip. Especially the gossip. It does not all go in I promise. But I do like to be kept up to date. Send us pictures, you get publicity in the newsletter - it really is that simple. Any information you would like to share with other performers may also be included, though we try not to publicise up coming gigs for obvious reasons. Most of the content of this newsletter is based on things that I have seen and heard with my own eyes and ears, other bits are simply rumours provided by performers themselves. I can take no credit for such things. Though I do sometimes try to verify them if I get the chance. Though every parent tries not to have favourites, performers working for us at trade shows do get in our good books, and those who are willing to help us raise money for charity get extra brownie points. Play with the caption competition - you might just get a plug if you are funny enough. Special cakes are reserved for performers who write down their reference numbers. It really is starting to work. Pencils mean we are putting you up for gigs. If the client does not go for it we cannot be held responsible, the end decision is rarely ours to make. We have a new system in place where you can check up on the progress of things. Ask us about it. And fill out your forms - it will free up time all round and give us more time to get you more lovely gigs. Updates to the website are made during evening and weekends - the slower they happen the healthier an agent I am... Please bear with us; it is just the way the systems work. A huge thank you to Captain Chesser, without whom my syntax would be a lot more painful on the eye. And for being my brain. Missing Link Productions ltd has this month has been run by Helena, my partner in giggles and the woman who keeps this machine running smoothly, John from the Stretch People, who is our office Buddhist, bringing calm and smiles wherever he treads, he does a very good ringmaster act too, John, you are my favourite, Philip, our winner of battles, diplomat and general sweet talker, Steph, our lovely new pixie lady, Thom, his patience, his acceptance of all our bullying (well mine), his brain, his atrocisous posture, his ability to fix everything except my computer, and my waistline, but most of all, for sticking it out. Gis' a database lad.
