Request

I have to admit that I find it somewhat gauche to ask for things for Christmas, but I have decided to go all the way and be ultra-gauche by publishing my request on the internet.

Dear people who would have bought me a Christmas present anyway,

I would love a donation to my show (that's happening in February, here in Cologne) more than anything else in the world. It looks like we've applied for German funding too late, and so we won't be getting any of that famous European support for the arts. (Next time!!)

Plus, the airlines are all being crazy with their new rules for checked baggage-- charging for a second bag!

OK, sorry for that breach of good taste.

Yours truly,

Henrietta von Gravlax

Sarah- if you don't ask, how will we know what you need? IF fyou hadn't asked, you wouldn't have a show to begin with. Anyone who was going to give you a gift anyways surely knows you well enough now that you don't have to be apologetic. Now, if you keep having shows and never come home, we will have to revisist the whole gift-giving process!should it be cash, credit, euros, check, upromise credits- we will expect regular progress reports!
Happy Thanksgiving!
