Catch Up

Gigs Since Last Post - Muse, Delirious?, Paramore, Dara O Briain, Big Church Day Out

Muse was amazing, quite frankly, i managed to get to the barrier and as sweaty and painful as it was, it will be an experiance i will never forget :-) as it was the NIA the pictures i got are really not that great but i'll stick one up anyway

Delirious? i was persuaded to go and i genuinely enjoyed myself and learned a new way to enjoy Gigging, up until now i had only viewed gigs as somewhere to try and get as close to the front as possible, but instead i just enjoyed the music and was genuinely moved by the feelings in the room

Paramore - due to a ticket cockup i ended up seated which wasnt so bad just a pain in the arse, the support acts (first 2) were shocking, i' ve never seen a crowd so stationary during the culmination of a set (including the Big Pink - who are 2nd in this). Once You Me At Six came on it was amazing and well worth it, i really enjoyed it, but would rather of been on the floor, being seated in the NIA is an experiance i dont wish to repeat (sport excluded). Paramore were awesome and an amazing end to the Winter term (no photos as i was so far away) the acrobatic show alone was impressive, shame hayley williams had dyed her hair blonde tho, kinda took away from it a bit :P

Dara O Briain was amazing. i can't wait for the DVD of the Tour to come out, Xmas list defenitly (look i can't spell the damn word). Yea was amazing tho.

Big Church Day Out - was an interesting day, i really enjoyed the Tim Hughes set and the Switchfoot set (which i really went for) and the various activites about the site that were fun (Go Karts :p) Beyond that, the Isreal Houghton set was really good, not really my thing but i really enjoyed it :)

Future Gigs - Bullet For My Valentine (November sometime) and i'm eyeing up the Big Chill next year (as its quite close)

University - the second year is over, my exams could have gone better and as i result i fell onto the Beng, i guess it improves my options but its still gutting as it removes my opertunity to do a year in industry beyond other things, and does leave my future in a bit of doubt... oh and the robot didnt work but we passed that one very well...
oh and i'm now the Departmental Society Publicity Officer

Last weeks of term - were amazing generally hanging out with whoever hadn't gone home yet, it was really good, Safari Park, Cadbury World, Alton Towers, Ikea road trips etc. thanks to everyone who made it fun - I also got into rap (Thanks Matt)

Things for next year - I need to make an effort to see people from first year more particularly Dan(Joe) and Callum, who i feel i havn't seen enough this last year, but i intend to fix that this year.

I also performed for the first time playing Bass (thanks to Ben Strain) it was really nerve racking for i really enjoyed it and its something i'd love to do again (Set :- Hello Hurricane - Switchfoot, Love Story - Taylor Swift)

Thats about it, i'll review my new laptop when it comes
