21 "!

Well the reason i haven't writen anything in some time, is because i've actually been doing things! It was Christian's birthday, then mine, and things have been all hectic! My birthday party, which was put on by Beck and Chel! Cheers! Was really cool! I had a really good night!
I was also lucky, because i got an amazing Draftman's drawing desk, which has made my room smaller and my life easier!
Now i'm looking forward to the NEW YEARS EVE gig at the Town Mill! Got some amazing ideas! so i'm excitied to see how they will work out!

Town mill this friday

Despite the fact that we don't have any support yet, we have a gig on Friday at the Town Mill in Mansfield. It promises to be an exciting and energetic evening! Everyone in the band is excited and i think there will be alot of people coming! CANT WAIT! (this picture was taken by Stu, think we'll hire him as band photographer)

MELT-BANANA

ARGHHH!!! Last night I went to see Melt Banana i was VERY EXCITED! and i was hoping to see my friend Alan. I didn't. However, They were totally rocking, I got another of Rikka's bass picks, EXCELLENT! It was such a good night, and even though the people i dragged with me wern't really sure what to expect, the mood totally lightened when the second support band came on wearing long johns and parrot masks. Christian said the gig was all-rate, but it was cool because it's the first real gig we've been too together!

Market gig

WOW! Firstly, thanks to everyone who went to the gig last night! We all had a great time, and despite a technical glitch, everything went F*****N' 'A'! I really enjoyed it! and i think everyone else did too! (Theres a gig at the town mill on friday btw) I was very happy with Dan, he played very well under alot of pressure, and managed to play along to the encore song without ever playing it before.

Gig Tonight!

Tonight there is a gig at the Market Tavern in Sutton! i'm hoping lots of my friends will be coming down to see the band, It's the first time any of them will see the band with Dan playing drums! Practice last night went really well! OH i love it! (gig starts 7.30-8pm)

Baby 'Fin'

I met Baby Fin yesturday, it was quite odd because just the other week he was a bump. He is very cute! Here's to Baby Fin.

Picture from London

I forgot i took this photo, i took it one morning when i was in london half asleep. I thought it was really cool. It actualy made me laugh so bad that people around me waiting, we looking at me thinking i was insane, so when i got my camera out, it could only have made it worse.

Dom's

Went over to Dom's last night, everyone was really bored because it was a sunday, and Dom was playing need for speed underground, we invented a game with a bit of pastic and pulling funny faces, but i guess you really had to be there to get it's funniness. Timmy was being all crazy and sending secret messages! I'm sure it's only a matter of time before I understand her 'sign' language.

Last week in London

I had a great time in london, the UK FILM COUNCIL was very interesting. I hope I learnt enough, because I know there's alot. On Wednesday I went to visit the set's on 'Sunshine' (www.sunshinedna.com) It was really cool seeing some of the work I saw being done when I was there on work experiance, in real size, a 2D drawing being build full size so that you can walk around. I was also really happy to see the girls again :) all in all ... wednesday was pretty indescibable, and exciting to the point where 'I' couldn't speak.

Poem's & Rockets

MY brother has joined the band as the drummer, although he's on holiday at the moment, but we have had a few practices and it's going very well. Last night me, Fran and Chel wrote 3 new songs, and i think they're really good, so when the other 2 members are there it's going to be amazing!
I'm back in london for mon/tue/wed. Mon/Tue at the UK Film Council and on wednesday! a dream come true! i get to go back to 'Sunshine' and see how the set is looking! it's going to be EXCELENT! I can't wait to see Amander, Jess and Hester! they are really nice! It's just ... god im so excited!

Sleepy day

Today was very chilled out. I started writing up a script i should have done years ago, which has become a very soothing. I put my friend and guitarists picture up on a website i saw today on this morning, which made me feel very unemployed, even though i am actually working the first 3 days of every week so... meh. im droaning on, it's late. I need sleep.

Goose Fair

To anyone not from the nottingham area, it's that time again! OH YES! The Goose Fair! Which is basically a huge event, with loads of pretty lights, and cuddley toys! I'm in nottingham tomorrow night because it's my auntie Karen's birthday, i am going with Shelley and my mum. SO i'll be on my best behavior!
Nothing much else has been happening. I was Working at the UK FILM COUNCIL for the first 3 days of this week, and three days next week, Which is very cool. It's a nice walk to work in the morning, watching everyone rush up and down the streets.

RAF!

Definately the strangest gig i've ever played! Friday was the day of the gig at the RAF base, it was a strange environment, but i think it was the best we've ever played live. The gig on thursday was also very cool, especially the sound engineer who worked for KIM GORDON! how cool is that. The other bands had alot to say about the smashing pumpkins! which was cool! Of course both gigs were stolen by Beck Stacey, who is the current Queen of Leicester, rightfully so too.

String of gigs

I've hurt my shoulder at a band practice, which is a b*****d because i have a string of gigs over the next few days. There's a practice tomorrow, and then 3 gigs over thursday, friday & saturday. Also i found out today that someone i know has stabbed someone else i know to death and has gone to prison. What kind of a place do we live in??

In my Room!

All i have been doing for the last week or so, is wasting time. I have finally sent off for a provisional driving licence, so i can drive around and to london or france or wherever. The rest of my time, i was watching the cricket, or sitting in my room playing on my X-Box. What can i say, i love killing the empire! Timi and Cruz have been keeping me company.

Becky & Chel's Wedding

It was VERY fun, besides that i have shitty feet now. The shoes i wore were really anoying. Also England played shitty. When we went to the reception, me and Christian, drank beer! There was a bit of a drama, but everything was ok in the end! I was drunk again! Ps - Becky was very beautiful in her dress.

i miss france

Soon i will have to go to london again, im just waiting for the shitty call. I'll be ok when i am there though because i love working on movies! Also it wont be long before i get to meet Michelle Yeoh! i love her! she kicks ass.

More Adeline

My friend is sad. I have spent all today talking to her tying to make her smile and be happy! I even brought a new webcam. I love being home, but i miss my friend alot. I have a strange craving for Alcohol!!!

I have also noticed today, that most people in Sutton-in-Ashfield are very ugly! both in personality and in person! GROSS!

I am looking forword to Becky & Chel's wedding on Saturday! & i'll take loads of pictures!!

Adeline

Adeline made it ok to only talk in english, i hope i can learn more french so when she comes to visit in october we can talk and no one will understand us!! haha!! I have never met someone so much like me before! Its very strange! I want her to know that she is totally cool and beautiful!! We had so much fun, until she had to go to her fathers home. here are some more pictures.

FRANCE

For those that didnt know i have been in France for the last 10 days, It was really fun, and i have made an amazing new friend. Her name is Adeline, she is the coolest French person in the world!! I love her!! shes my new sister!

I went to france with Chirstian, his family and Annie! (I will post more pictures) I acctually wore a dress... and more suprising! Christian wore a suit to the wedding of Annie (french) & J.B.

I also met the Legendary Delphine! (Wearing white in pic)

Town Mill take 2

Although me and Beck were abandoned due to a little pre-gig-home drinking and missing a bus and forgetting it was sunday left us waiting for a bus.



When we got there, the bass was messed up and the monitors were not playing any bass, which was anoying, so i started to drink loads and then P.B Edwards band (i forget the name, but i'll post it up) came on, They were really funny, and very fun for the crowd to watch. Then we came on and Chel was a little more explosive than i told him to be, which turned out to be loads of fun, in all to say that one of the members was going through a bad emotional nightmare, and some of us were drunk, it was an excellent gig again.

The Shed

Last night was the gig at the shed! It was lacking people but it was an explosive night for us, since the rest of the bands were quite funky or accoustic. Free beer was a bonus! And we took no time taking full advantage of that. This also led to chain smoking, and little visits to the car since we got there at 6pm and wernt on untill 11 something. Here are some photo's from the event. I thought that it was the best gig we've played, and despite my hair melting on stage which caused slight blinness, and fran loosing heart because of the lack of spectators.
OH and today is the Ashfield Show!

Beauty of Being Alone

Another good thing about going down to London is that i got to see lots of beautiful things, the bad thing was no one else could see it. I have attempted to take pictures of things that looked amazing, however nothing is as good on a picture as when you look at it with your own eyes.

I am back from London! I had a good time learning about things that should be boring. Also saw most of the FT2 crew! I think they're all smarter than me!
I had a really good time at the Generator Hostal also, some crazy Italians we're totally wrecked every night but i met some really nice people too. Akiko (sp?), Carla, Chiho and a german girl. They were all really nice, and enojoyed my vast variation of world music contained on my laptop. Either way i had lots of fun, and laughed my ass off. I would also like to thank Chiho for making me a origami things!

FT2

I will be on london tomorow evening! which will most likely be very sleepless since i always get put in rooms with people who party 24-7

However i am on another FT2 thing, i have no idea what to expect, everything so far has been really fun! and has given me even more drive than even before i started it. I thought i would be discurraged. Also all of the people on the course are really funny and nice, it's pretty cool that i have been lucky enough to meet them all before they go off into the movie world for real. Maybe one of them will give me a job!

Much joy!

My band is called Poem Rocket, we have a few songs on Sound click. (There is a link down at the bottom)


We're playing in Leicester on the 12th of August (not sure of venue but i'll post up all of our gigs), and on the 14th we're playing at the Town Mill in Mansfield. With Beck Stacey

you can find her at www.geocities.com/beckstaceymusic Beck is a musical goddess and the best part is that she doesnt know it! Beck also does club singing all over the midlands, you can usually find her performing her own songs wherever we play.

My Recent Events

Ok so over the last year or so i have been very quiet to the people who know me, mostly because most of the people who know me dont live where i do. I have been going down to London alot, working all over the place. Think it's almost time to get a car. But, i have been doing well in my aim to take over the movie world. However i was quite uncool and did the TOUR of london, i did manage a day without using the Tube and went to see big ben and the london eye.

Im back down there in the next few days so it'll be hostal city for me!

Can't tihink of one.

Ok so i have decided to start spilling my head out on here, in the hope that i can retreve more useful idea's for recyling in other things.
