Maybe I should update this more regularly
I've just been reading the BBC site and it seems that some bloggers managed to get free wine just by being people who regularly updated their blog site! (full story here). Why wasn't I informed?
If anyone from Stormhoek is watching or searching for their own name, or whatever, I'd like you to know that not only am I very interested in wine but also in South African culture. I've seen Cry Freedom and I watched Lethal Weapon 2 the other day. Maybe they'll do their 100 dinners thing in Europe then we can organise one.
I'll just take a second to recommend that anyone who has any interest in live music at all makes sure they go to the Rebus CD launch party on Saturday night. It's going to be stunning. The full Josaka preview is here. AK mentioned the other day how good the Six Nation State launch party was and both Rebus and Six Nation State are playing again. Six Nation State have just signed to Jeepster, home of Snow Patrol, and I'm sure Rebus can't be far behind them with getting a decent deal. I've been a fan since I first saw them but they have taken it to another level recently. (don't tell them I said that, it'll only go to their heads).
What with that, My Luminaries celebrating their signing to V2 this week, the success of Morning Runner and the news that SinTuition and Exit 10 are playing at Download festival it seems that the country at large is catching up to this "Reading on Fire" thing that we've been banging on about.
Hopefully Reading Fringe Festival can push that message even harder.
