Quelle Horreur!

Bizarrely today I got to go to Paris for the day for work. Literally, for the day. Leaving at 7 in the morning on the Eurostar train and arriving back at half ten in the evening. The weather was gorgeuous but unfortunately I was in a meeting for most of the day. We did get a quick tour by car of the city centre before heading back to the train station. I have been to Paris before, albeit over ten years ago. I didn't remember how impressive the city centre was though - perhaps it helped that this time it was in the warm spring sunshine rather than the cold winter of Christmas '96 !!

It's Been A While ...

Over a month since the last post, but hey, I've been busy - mainly with work. A lot of late nights and deadlines. All the usual fun stuff.

Some exciting news on the gig front - I managed to snaffle tickets for one of REM's "rehearsal" shows in Dublin in early July. Should be interesting - more info here.

And, even more exciting, I got a ticket to Glastonbury. Armed with my laptop and PC side by side I managed to get a ticket after about half an hour of timeouts and busy pages. The whole festival sold out in about an hour and a half. I can't wait. It means I get to see Arcade Fire for the third time this year (Last gig at Brixton was probably the best gig I have ever been too. period.) and, at last, I get to see bjork !!

And as if that wasnt enough good news - I went to the Walthamstow dogs Saturday night and managed to make enough winnings to pay for my pints. The satisfaction !
