A long telephone conversation with David Singleton on the future of DGM.

The Hartford Civic Centre is an ugly concrete brutalist monstrosity which demonstrates in architecture that the civic centre is absent of a civil impulse. Nor does there appear to be civic activity at the weekend here at all: there is no heart at the centre.

An enjoyable performance. The dressing rooms are impressively dumpy. An enthusiastic audience, with the notable exception of a young man in front of Trey who had come along to have a bad time. It was astonishing how much of a good time he had having a bad time. He only smiled once that I saw, that at the end of the show, to his friend on his left. I saw him clapping once, right at the end, very slowly to signal how much of a good time he was having having a bad time. Perhaps he is English, adrift in Hartford, Connecticut.
