The days were: Punk Goes Acoustic, Breaking Benjamin, Bullet For My Valentine, Cute Without the E was the best thing, tight jeans, sweeping fringes, bright cardigans and MSN. I loved the simplicity too! Go to school, friday night is a sleepover where either Pro Evo or Need For Speed would get played all night and you had a new cup of tea and pack of digestives every 10mins! Saturday was the recovery and Sunday was football for my local team.
Todays tonights are a little different. From now until next Friday I'm busy every night. This weekend my best mate Connor will be in Manchester so we'll be out. Sunday is the Screamworks!- the biggest bar crawl in halloween fancy dress. Still haven't sorted a costume....
But! - Jordan and I did carve some pumpkins earlier........ mine is the cheeky one.
Monday is the radio festival in The Lowry at Salford Quays. Literally, just across the road from where I study most days. After having had my demo very constructively and briefly picked apart by Jo Good a couple of weeks ago, I made some changes this afternoon. The new demo is now live on the homepage of the site, alongside some new bits including a Sport Presentation demo and some featured audio.
Having changed the demo, ready to be picked apart again on Monday by the demo experts, I've had to burn out a load more LC DVDs for my press packs! Only too happy to do so. These packs now include a much more stripped back 1 page long CV, a freshly printed infographic and the DVD. It's the most 'packaged' way I can think of to demonstrate myself, and I'm really fond of the end result. If you want a press-pack, just drop me a message I'll send one over, no problem. Even for feedback, would be great.
Can't wait for the variety of speakers we have at Foot In The Door @ Radio Fest. Some great names on the lineup, a couple that I know, but the majority I'll get to meet. Looking forward to that, lots more opportunity for networking and coffee drinking. Perfect day out really.
From Tuesday through to Thursday I'm at the Manchester Academy enjoying the plethora of Manchester music this fine venue offers. Tuesday is The Rifles, a really cool band who've just released a new album, I hope to get down there for that one and get them in on the new show soon (new radio show details to follow in a few weeks!!). Wednesday is the re-arranged Charlie Simpson gig, Thursday is The Travelling Band!
How very exciting. Set for a very busy yet enthralling week. Not to mention the assignments I've got to complete and the ridiculously exiting new project I've taken on. I'll post some details after Seb and I have storyboarded something on Sunday. All I'll say is the project revolves around this musician...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xatQePq_QvI
