The art of working without working
So, this last week I are been mostly ill. I was still working because I had way too much to do not to come in, but managed to miss the Danko Jones gig I'd been looking forward to for ages, the Rebus & friends secret gig that clashed with it and a Left Side Brain gig in Bristol.
Still, that doesn't mean everything was at a standstill. Oh no! Things are still moving along nicely for the Dutch tour. We think it'd be a good idea to find some local bands to help us with organising things, especially with contacts / venues and getting a crowd. In return we can get put them on or put them in contact with people to play a gig or two over here.
So, with that in mind, whilst I was lazing at home in bed feeling a bit crap my Dutch friend was out getting drunk at one of the potential venues for the Rotterdam leg of the tour and meeting musicians.
Unfortunately the only information he had this morning was some e-mail addresses. He was too drunk to remember the names of the people, or their band, whether they were playing at the night he was at or not or any other useful information.
So, I am reassured to know that we have like minded individuals organising every aspect of the tour and have dispatched "I don't know who you are but this drunk gave me your address. Do you want to help me put on a Dutch tour?" e-mails to the relevant people.
