Proud Galleries, David Guest, DRN Video
Interesting night last night.
The plan: to collect Chalky in Camden, head to the 12 Bar on Denmark street and see Sam Beer. After gig, dicuss forthcoming events to stage at his venue.
The result: Sam Beer actually played the night before (not my fault), ended up at Proud Galleries and didn't really start to discuss anything until 3am. Bum.
I did run into David Guest which was interesting. Actually, no it wasn't but I guess it was worth a mention. :-)
I have the suit dilema again as I am attending a wedding reception tonight which will be fun. I've never really been to a wedding before. Not as a guest anyway. I was at one as a photographer's assistant once. I will try to stay off the punch as I want to make it home early and get a good night's sleep.
Bit of a preview for you. I'm always trying to think of the most interesting way of presenting artists on the label blogs. Plus present them in a way that encourages people to take something away with them. So I had a stab with some more editing resulting in the below:
I think it works ok. If anyone is into the band they can embed the youtube player. I'm going to contact some other bands I've featured before as I'd like to put a few of these up. If you can think of a way to improve this format let me know. I've set up a Youtube channel so the videos can be rss'd
Speaking of which, I've added that bar to the left so my blog can be rss'd. You can have you igoogle page, or your feedblitz automatically update with content I post here. If you don't have a feed reader I'd recommend getting one if you read blogs outside vox aswell. It saves a lot of time having all the posts and content automatically updating in one place. Try the igoogle thing, you'll wonder how you lived without it.
I guess whilst I'm on the subject I should explain the other toys. There is my twitter window, so I can quickly mention anything that I'm up to. I find that quite fun as I follow several other people's who post messages on their wierd activites. Mine must seem quite bland in comparison.
My flickr slideshow which I've just got into is quite useful. Once I get a better camera I will take more pics and upload them so the slideshow will update. Vox has a great library but a slideshow makes the pics easily digestable/accessible I guess.
The blidget?!? Yet another term coined by Widgetbox.com. A couple of my mates were interested in following the blog but didn't want to sign up to vox as they stick with their own blogs. This tool creates a sidebar window that updates with posts and content.
To make up for falling off the healthy wagon last night, I'm going to try and have a super fit weekend. No booze, no pizza, no waffles. Apparently we're going to start getting a proper summer soon. I hope so, I want to be out enjoying it. :-)
So what's happening out there?

I haven't tried out many of the toys you've mentioned, however I was able to get my Flickr widget working yesterday.
eww -I don't really enjoy weddings, despite being able to dress up. Your suit will straighten out with a quick couple of minutes in a dryer, if you don't have an iron.
What's happening out here?
I re-worked "A Peaceful Storm Warning" all this past week and a half, and have posted the new result just last night. -It's the same recording as before, but I added a 2nd harmonic part, a lead guitar, and two percussion parts to it, and I think it sounds a bit better now. -It still isn't "perfection" or anything, but I was proud enough of it to post it. Feel free to give it a listen!
It's kind of LOUD, so ease in to it. -Who would have guessed that if you add more instruments, it would become louder? ;-) (he he he)
Anyways, that's all that's new and exciting here. Have a good time at the reception, and I'll TTYL!
