They also had: Don't speak to Pavarotti unless he asks you a question. Don't look Pavarotti directly in the eyes. Don't eat or drink within sight of Pavarotti. And few other dos and don'ts for surviving a performance with Pavarotti. I gues the purple thing is kinda like the "Don't say MacBeth in the dressing rooms" thing we have over here in the theatre. I did that once for this show I was playing in and the actors actually made me perform that silly ritual you have to do to de-jynx the show.

I must of read that one two to three times. Don't know if I could handle being his 'collaborator'. Although the only position I could hold in Beatnik right now is a middle management position in their softwar testing department. That is, if Beatnik even has a software testing department. Nice pictures though.
