not happy today

i'm gonna try to breath and not shout at people. not easy when you're angry.

but if i see a new PA there today, i might not control myself...

 

sorry you might not understand a word of this but for personal-official-bullshit reasons i can't say more.

eh, ok

you know when you plan your day in the morning, like i will have lunch, then go shopping, then back home and watch tv... etc

well does it happen to you sometimes that your day don't go like you planned at all, but like 5mn after you think about doing something you need to change your plan, and again and again...

well that's my day.

 

so i suppose if I write now that I'll meet up with someone now, then go shopping, then go to work in the Old Jameson Distillery and then.. well i don't know, maybe go to the Village or The Academy, depends what's on, then go back to work, then maybe go home... it is definitely going to change, isn't it?

news

sorry i haven't been writing for a long time

here are the latest news

 

DEAF was a good festival, lovely people and a majority of good acts

i didn't like Nurse with wound though, i didn't get it... at all.

Mad Ep was good

but the highlight for me was Daedalus, incredible artist mixing his own stuff with good stuff from other artists creating the perfect live remix.

Poets of Rhythm were quite good as well, jazz funk, playing for almost two hours.

i spent two hours covering the back wall with a giant screen and moving the projectors and running cables so we can have two projectors playing two different dvds simultaneously at the back of the stage. but it was worth it as the result for Stephen O Malley and Nurse With Wound looked cool.

 

went to Justice DJ Set on sunday night, had loads of fun with Jeni, Grainne, Emma and Snoopy, it's good to party with techies as i doesn't really happen often except after work when we all too tired to dance so we usually just sit there and get drunk easily. Justice were quite good and Busy P was excellent.

i spent monday recovering from that sunday night.

 

Tilly and The Wall played ALT on tuesday night, quite a pleasant gig, nice music, dancey pop: their tap dancing certainly adds to the dancey part  while the girl's choreographies underline their pop style.

 

 

 

staying in the area

here are a few pictures of the small city just next to where my parents live, full of history and old stones:

yellow and blue

my favourite rugby team, l'ASM is looking for musicians to compose an hymn for them:
