I've been away in Bristol doing work experience at Creation, and organising the manic but potentially amazing SRA Conference. We've been working really hard to make this a fantastic conferenec and it really looks like it migth be one. Check out our plans here.
So what going on, what to tell you me snuggles...
-> This was ages ago but I went to Speech Radio run by the Radio Academy towards the end of February. This year it was focusesed around Breakfast Shows and featured lots of fantastic speakers and sessions, in particular Mouth to Mouth which discussed the format of call in shows, a session run by Neil Pringle from BBC SCR, and the ever lovely Colin Murray. I'm going to Music Radio in a few weeks which looks equally as good if not better !
-> Last weekend I was stuck for something to do so planned Saturday night out in London with the RaW gang. Went over to Jamie's on the way as it was in the middle of the route between Bristol & London. Got drunk in Marlborough and had a great time, thanks to Jamie for the hospitality! Saturday was excellent, went for a lucious meal in Browns at Leicester Square with Pauly & Dave, Fadefast, Stu and Russ H before us meeting a whole host of others in a pub. My camera did end up with a whole host of photos of Stuart's crotch tho (may I point out not taken by me!!!!!!) but you will have to wait until I'm back at uni and can upload those photos for that pleasure.
-> On Tuesday night Heidi & I spent the evening in London at the Sony Awards nominations party which was pretty good fun. I was a bit worried about going alone and not knowing anyone but we managed to scab a ticket for Heidi from somewhere. Met some cool people and got drunk with one of the nominees from BBC 7 who was a sound bloke. Kevin was there hosting it so we caught up with him and lots of ASRA people which was pretty cool. Moonie & Garrido joined us later on in the pub and I got smashed on wine..
-> SCISSOR SISTERS!!!!!!!!!!!! Went to see them last Wednesday at Bristol SU. I've been a fan since I heard Comfortably Numb and then got the album, and let me tell you, if you do get the chance to see them live then do because they put on a fantastic show. And don't be all they ruined pink floyd on my ass! They are so much more than that. Jake Shears is for starters a very camp Justin Hawkins :) Trust me boys and girls, try out Filthy and Gorgeous, Return to oz or Tits on the radio or or or…….. Just goddamn by the album its fantastic. AND they are playing the final fling!!! I get to see them twice in 3 months. Yay. They are part of Carling 24 Live on May 1st. Only £10. GO and see them.
-> Talking of the final fling lineup it's Ash (!!!!!), Scissor Sisters (!!!!!), Amy Winehouse, and Spooks. However I've been rather cheekily scheduled to work it, my last top b, and my last night at uni ever. I thought asking me might be somewhat curteous :-)
-> Pauly evililly convinced me on the goodness and beauty of an apple iBook during the weekend, and I'm now on the lookout for one. The Apple Refurbished store has had lots over the past month or so, but this week there weren't any and I was muchos gutted!!
-> Congratulations go to Stuart and Krissia with their news. I think you're crazy, but crazy in a good way :D
-> I had a very drunk phone call with a sober Pat, Pat returned the favour tenfold :D
-> I've decided I love cats and want one when I move to London (well maybe unless it means I can't have a flat I love!)
-> It's me or RON for SRA Chair....
-> Dave got his HP placement!
-> Congrats to GUST and Martin with his winning of Best Student TV Station !
-> I applied for two jobs. Fingers crossed!
-> 4 hero - Les Fleurs is the tune from the Baileys floating ad and is fantastic. I think I'm going to order the album!
And that... I think... is it!
