So there we go, undoubtedly one of the busiest weeks of my life over and done with. Big things happened, minor tiffs happened, life changing decisions were made and I got to carry out one of my favourite activites...ooh the mystery.
So lets start with last week. First of all, I must apologise for the complete lack of a name here, it is their strict policiy not to advertise the events or their name and as such, I can't say it. Those of you that know what I'm talking about, make sure you tell others about this too as it is extremely important to their survival. Right, now that's out of the way.
Wow./ I went to a rave in a warehouse. It was immense. Like out of this world good. There were two rooms - A drum&bass arena and a Trance arena, both playing incredible music all night. There was also an amazing chillout area, people on stilts and I raved with Specimen A at the front, they were simply too cool. So basically another incredible night, easily my favourite club and I hope next time I go, some you Medway people will come along, you will be blown away.
And just like that, it was over again. I caught the train back to Wycombe, getting to bed about 2pm on Sunday, only to wake up about 5 and head back to medway for some BK love. And that was fine I guess, back to wycombe straight after was pretty tough but i made it back in time for my eventful Tuesday. As mentioned last week, I'd have an interview at International Students House on Tuesday as well as City Showcase work. The interview went very well, showed me around the incredible facilities they had and the superb calibre of acts they have play there. Then Wednesday was a full day at City Showcase. It's been an amazing experience working for them, despite constant clashes with the directors, I've really found my feet there and found that I love putting on events like this. Lauren will tell you that the atmosphere in the office is more than hostile but it's all coming together, ready to start tomorrow. And so Thursday rolled around and a job offer was handed my way. Excellent news indeed. And so my Thursday rolled on at CS, more stress, more arguments, more experience. And then Friday came. I was in our office in Carnaby Street all day in charge of the street teams which basically involved delivering flyers and wristbands to the venues and shops. I however sat on my arse all day pretty much with Tom and Lauren telling people what to do. Good times indeed!! It was when I came home that life became complicated. With my sights firmly set on centurion (another completed), I opened my emails to see another job offer from International Students House to be their events co-ordinator. Wow. What an opportunity. And today I was able to accept the position, once I found out my pay. And so there we go, I pretty much have my dream job people.
Acts playing at ISH in June alone include Infadels who I've gone on about on here before, Primal Scream and Gnarls Barkely. It's a great little venue and a wonderful company to have the opportunity to work for. I am so excited.
Oh and my favourite activity? I got to introduce Jim to some new music. I love my music collection and I'm extremely passionate about passing on what I like to other people, not because I think they should like it but because its so hard to pick up all the new music these days, everyone likes different things and passing stuff on is sometimes the best way to hear new stuff. And so I did a little mixtape of my fav electronic tunes at the moment. I've still got the link if anyone wants to hear it. There are some great remixes, some mashups, some sampling, some original tunes, some chillout stuff, a real range of what electronic music can be when people put their mind, heart&soul into it.
And so there we go, that was a whistle stop tour of the last 168 hours. I'll try and make this a little more music related next time but in the meantime, check the playlist for some tunes that I'm loving at the moment.
