I am a bad blogger…
Forgive me for I have sinned. It has been THREE MONTHS since my last post!
Many things have happened since then which were certainly blogworthy, but for one reason or another I didn’t get around to writing and the moment passed. The main reason for this is a project I have been working on, more of which to follow very soon…
Other things I’ve been doing:
- Building a patio.
- Playing with Fine Arts Brass again.
- Discovering Flickr (not too many photos yet, and I haven’t got around to hooking the feed up to here, but soon will).
- Enjoying the start of the football season - the two (Championship) games I’ve been to so far were more exciting than anything the World Cup had to offer.
- Worrying about the implications of the new airline security regime for freelance musicians, a subject which deserves a post of its own - hopefully not in another three months.
Right now I’ll finish by plugging a site I heard about recently. Scarletmist.com is a site designed to allow the ethical exchange of tickets for gigs, festivals and the like for no more than their face value. It has become very hard of late to get tickets when they first go on sale, as demand tends to greatly outstrip supply and web servers and call centres can’t cope with the numbers. This frustration is normally compounded merely hours later when the same tickets start appearing on eBay, often for several times face value. The laws that prevent the reselling of tickets for football matches do not currently apply to music events, and the result is that bona fide music fans are often priced out of the market.
Anyway, hurrah for Scarletmist. Please use them if you can. I will be.
