Ahhhhh, bollocks
In previous years I have always been surprised at the depth of feeling and sheer amount of arguing that goes on when the Madcaps nominations list comes out. Somewhat personally involved as I was this year in a major show, I now comprehend completely.
Abby, "official" recognition be damned, I really think we put on a good show, thanks in large part to you.
I am genuinely sorry that the fantastic work of many other people in our show was not even so much as acknowledged. Jeff, Eli, Matt, Steve, Andrew, Henry, Alex, Todd, Sarah, Emmac and Emmab, Dave, Alice - you guys were all very good, and some of you in particular deserved far more recognition than was in the end meted out to you. I apologise for that. Well done Alice - a deserved award.
Elsie, I don't care how good the Madcaps judges thought the Law Revue costumes were - I don't need to actually see what they came up with to know that our costumes were 10 times better. Call me biased if you like, world-at-large - your accusations make me no less right. You made the show happen Elsie, and should take pride in that far from insignificant achievement.
In summary I suppose, thanks, Catch 22 crowd. I hope you were as proud of the show as I was, and enjoyed it as much as well. I found you all very funny, even if (officialdom claimed that) no-one else did.
-Ben.
