I don't know who reads what i actually write but from the past week i have had over 100 views. This is impressive and happy 1000 views go to me this week. This is awesome for the one person who clicks refresh when i post 1000 refreshed pages is great.
I am a white pasty mess today because i had an amazing Friday night out, 5 hours sleep, a 6 hour shift, then seeing a little cute kid for +5 hours. I am exhausted. What did you do on your exciting Friday i hear you say, WELL WELL WELL i went to a gig of acoustic music
ON A BUS.
yes a bus it was cold, and it shook and it was great one of the most interesting venues i have been to ever. cannot top this for lyf. Which reminded me how much work i still had to produce and how much i still had to do which left me thinking fuuuu- so thank you for that!
I used to go to a lot of unsigned bands back in my day when i was of young and knew people now i don't and i count of my training and skill to get by. Last night the 3.5 acts i saw were almost awesome.
I am also the creep that takes pictures everywhere i go and notes on my phone so when writing this one i had to look at my notes
The Pretty Mess were defiantly worth a check out there probably younger than myself, all moderately handsome chaps and it was a rather lovely atmosphere. I did however get pictures from this one but i did not however want to be seen as the creeper on the bus!
I don't know any there stuff par what i heard which the one that i do remember from my long day is harmonies and memories. I do think that this would be worth a listen to proper venue live though.
And the line "Nothing more Nothing less than a pretty mess!" i did not take many notes last night my fingers were way too cold. But bellow is a facebook link so LOOK LOOK LOOKKKK
The Pretty Mess
The other ones i cannot recall any names, or such but there was
* A very softy sung female who was rather sweet to the ear
* A man that sung about a bus
* Then the one we went to originally see which rock the bus!
(If i do find any more names i will edit this and leave links, i am incredibly forgetful and this is why i take notes)
This event i think will be held again at the three sisters in Edinburgh and starts what i think will be Friday nights 6:15 till late i can only assume!
(Again if i find out anything i will update!)
Now i always have a backup project and this was my very cheerful photo project i had planned years ago i just had to do interesting things, visit places and actually experience something.
This very cheerful project has went to a morbid look on how awful the human race is. Bold statement? No this is not, i am so close to scrapping this project because of the horrible negative reminder.
To take it back to one of my previous project my "master piece" because its double my height and was the funniest thing ive ever created yet this is now a MORBID piece. that i love.
Why not do this project? well i think in patient, approachable and decent but in this month alone;
5 creeps i have met
13+ bails with stupid excuses
3 people leave
15+ events of being ditched for a partner
1 artist drop out
5 rejections
15+ silent eye rolls
2 fails at a test
and i dont know how many groans because of horrible situations that made it awkward.
so no..
i cannot create a project based on all these lets downs.
but i will share some of the pictures from this project that will once again be put on hold.
Now that all my paperwork is out the way. risk assessments mainly to be done but done none the less.
I have half my line up a few people to visit but art work for a month until my first proper meeting of the arts.
But the more distressing thing i heard this week was from two people i knew were doing the same course i done back in my day of youth, and only to hear that its not even Christmas and more than a handful have dropped out of this course. Because either its not what they thought or there was disagreements.
I thought this was a right shame because when i was 17 in my art course i thought it was the bee knees. But clearly more than the failures of year one have had there faith in art tested.
Okay maybe not faith that makes it sound like a religious thing but it does take commitment that will test patience and so much more, its clear that art has a different impression from what people think. more support is needed i think! or the fact that art is a bitch subject.
But apart from that, i took up photography for a while. not saying im a photographer but i took up some picture taking with my basic skills as a printer taking pictures yet they turned out alright!
I don't like to get personal in my blog but i have had the week from hell and its only Tuesday. First my hoover picks a fight and damages my foot so im limping away, i then have to wait an hour on a bus and walk home with numb feet.
Then today only to have to deal with a hormonal teenager giving me the abuse of the day. there is no need for the stress i am under right now.
But i was in the heart of art Spain on yet again a stressful week away, Well Barcelona to add more detail i wasn't sure what to expect actually but the buildings were awesome, even one with eyeballs coming out if it and walls as windows all awesome, the more interesting thing that i saw though was the protests and sit in that were going on there.
One was students, protesting the rise in their fees. The other "general" hate for the government as the women at the receptionist told me which she then told me it was the norm there. So my questioning, was not a shock to her and showed i was a total tourist
So after my guild dog pieces of art i may look at this for a piece or set of work. This is only when my current state gets a lot more happy!
