And slowly, and surely...

Mars HQ is a slightly cramped flat in Edinburgh containing (in order of importance):
  1. Gerry and John Kielty: brothers, mortal enemies and Martians.
  2. A large kettle with the whistle tuned to something by Jeff Wayne.
  3. A nearly complete collection of Doctor Who VHS from Hartnell onwards.
  4. Guitars, kazoos, keyboards.
  5. More computing equipment than the Apollo program, and of a similar vintage.
  6. Dust.
  7. geoff. (Please note the lack of capitalization, we revoked it in 2007.)
geoff is currently chained to a keyboard with a tea drip-feed and being forced to resurrect our online empire.  Where did the old one go?  Well that's a long story.  Suffice to say, we're blaming it on geoff.

So what have we been up to in the meantime?  Well John was on BBC Scotland's River City playing Victor, a lumberjack or similar.  He was OK.  Gerry continues to rule the world through the medium of computer game Civilization, and continues to rule mediums through his association with the Mackenzie Poltergeist.



Houston's Lanarkshire farm is doing well, his chicken attrition rate is the envy of many in south west Scotland.  Along with his Martian activities he is also playing with rock/bluegrass outfit Brokeback Jockstrap

And so to current news...there's going to be a special one-off performance of Greyfriars Twisted Tales, our award winning show from the 2008 Fringe.  It's going to be in Glasgow at the end of October...more soon.
