The Bravery
Friday, November 18, 2005
Not only did I finally submit my work for the RSA brief today, I also got the opportunity to watch New York band The Bravery for free. Not a bad thing.
I'm no huge fan, in fact I don't own any of their music, but it was a good gig - the first date of their UK tour as we discovered. As no one else in the house was out I went over with Mother Nature, Witters, and Crazy Rach. The fact they were playing in Lufbra was not the band's choice; we won a nationwide competition run by Samsung to get a 'Band On Your Campus'. We also discovered, we didn't exactly win - Leeds did, but they cheated (someone set up a auto-repeat voting system) so instead they ended up here.
Cat is a legend as otherwise I wouldn't have got a wristband ticket. Big thanks to you - I needed some relief after the gruelling past 24hrs. At about this time last night I was encountering printer hell when I discovered that all my boards were far too dark, and had to start over. I did however make the good discovery half way through that the HP 1220c has a very well hidden manual feed from the back. In a year and a half I never spotted this, and have been constantly putting up with bent, twisted and generally rubbish Super B size prints. They should write this sort of thing on the FRONT of the printer.
I'm now going to turn my hand to a little Christmas card design. There is a fifty quid prize and that sounds too delicious to let pass. Goodnight.
