Weekend deconstruction

Another weekend done and dusted and a pretty decent one it turned out to be too. Nice and cheap and cheerful yet I was fully entertained for most of the weekend.

Friday: Cheap and cheerful one round Casa Don Fringe - although the Don half of Don Fringe was nowhere to be seen. Fun was had by all playing Wario Smooth Moves on the Wii - one hell of a wierd and crazy game may I add - and also Guitar Hero 3 on the 360. Had never played any of the Guitar Hero games before but thought it was quality. I do consider myself addicted now and will be purchasing it WHEN my XBOX is mended - which may be never, i am having to come to terms with the fact that it may have to be put down. Myself and Ant also took great delight in beating Aaron and Vikki on Pro Evo. He hates losing, that boy.

Saturday: Saturday started off rather slowly due to alcohol consumption the night before. Eventually I pulled my head out my backside and headed into town to get set up for our night. We set ourselves a reasonable target for the takings for the evening and I was delighted that we hit them. Considering it’s the last week before pay week - and it’s January - we were happy with how many people showed up to the night. Not quite as busy as the birthday event in December, but not far off none the less. Feeback has been excellent and early interest in our next night in February - Jackin Off: The Pirates of Chi Town - has been phenominal. We have very high hopes of another capacity night in February. Great to see Jay Marks and Euge made the trip over on Saturday too. All in all, a top weekend.

Oh, and to start the week off, I just ordered 2 of these……

January event + more DJ related gubbins

Got the flyer for our January event uploaded and out there today. I drew it with all my own crayons. It’s not the best flyer i’ve ever done but it’s not bad for a quick effort i guess. Still well hyped about how good the birthday event was in December. Obviously being January and everyone being skint we’re not expecting a repeat performance this time but we’re still quietly confident it’s going to be a pretty good party. We got huge plans for February anyway and another silly theme so that’s going to be the next big one. Saturday 16th February is the date everyone is going to be talking about.

Patrick from Bumpty Bumpty Birmingham has been on the request line. Aparantly he has moved the brand to The Bulls Head in Moseley. I am assured this is a better venue than the old Bash Bar and that the sound system is stonking there. Looking forward to playing big time as Bumpty is always a top quality event and a right good laugh. Got to find out where Moseley is first, mind.

Last bit of news i’m not sure how much i’m allowed to reveal about yet. All i’ll say for now is it’s Saturday 22nd March and it’s going to be off the hook. It’s not in Wolverhampton or Birmingham but it will rival anything on in either city on that date. I will spill the beans when I know I’m allowed to.

Other than that a quick roundup of boring dross: I didn’t manage to cook that meal on Saturday as Aaron and Merk kept me in the pub and got me drunk (which i got in trouble for) and BT are finally coming to put our phone line in at home tomorrow. Funny how when you go to the Chief Executive you get things done a whole lot quicker. I’ll jot the full story down another day for you to read as it may be some use to you if you run into issues with BT’s customer service. Over and out……….
