'I Think Your Onto A Winner'

Haaaiiii everyone.
whats with the normal text? for some reason i cannot get the text editor to come up.
its all gonna be the same size! oh dear.
okay, so here's the section that i think i will now cal
l 'HERE'S WHAT I DID THIS WEEK'
HERE IS WHAT I DID THIS WEEK

i got sick. seriously. i just got rid of it.
(and yes, i know this is my work blog, blah blah. BUT i have a perfectly good reason as to why i have told you that i got sick)
so really i havent really done much. but despite not having done much i still got WINTERLONG a gig.
at a band night at sub61. i ran into the booker/promotions guy at rockworld on friday night and i didnt even realise that it was him, BUT he said that yes of course i could put my band in the slots that he has. i sent him the link to the myspace and he actually likes it.
so then i text the singer and told him.
and i got a really gay text back that just said
[INTERMISSION: i just found out why i am on normal text. i was in edit HTML rather than compose. shush you, its 3 in the morning.]
'i am sorry but the band cannot do either of those days. we are going to a gig'
Here's a tip for anyone in a band.
DON'T EVER EVER SAY NO TO A GIG. THE MORE GIGS YOU PLAY THE MORE PEOPLE LIKE YOU.
whats more important?

i am not ranting at all. no.
im just stating some advice. i did say this would be an advice blog.
please take the advice.
OH! and if you are wondering why all this blog is edited properly its because i didnt want to leave the whole thing looking like it was normal. if i didnt edit and put lotsa different sized text in you would get bored.
ALSO.
why do people not take flyers?
ive just been out, flyering for South, and seriously the amount of CAJOLING i had to do to just get someone to take an actual flyer that they probably wouldnt read at all.
do flyers bite? what is so offensive about a flyer?
and also, and ive been wondering this for a while, what makes a club successful? what gives it a good reputation? because i can bet that the flyerers for 5th ave dont have to cajole people.
actually, im really quite angry. im only writing this so i dont have to do it tomorrow. i have 2 and a half weeks of solid WORK ahead of me.
yay me.
so, that is what i did this week.

here, have some quotes.
'I really like them. i think your onto a winner' - booker, sub61.
'most people go to the grave with the music still in them' - Anon
'my dream when i was a kid was the usual dream, i wanted to be a footballer, then i grew up a bit and wanted to be a musician' Shayne Gallagher

so, on that note i am going to play the sims 3.
Bye Bye.


Come for the music, stay for the fun.
