Last Thursday night I went out and watched a new artist ‘Alex Roots‘ perform a closed set in the city, she was pretty good. We will be doing her online promo stuff as we do for Seal. If things keep going this way this might be a full time thing

After that we headed off to ‘Old Street’ where we had ‘Access All Areas’ tickets for the Guitar Hero: World Tour launch party!!!
It was a fantastic night, there were consoles set-up so you could play the game, they had a rock-off band compitition and finally ended the night with a massive performance from ‘Bullet For My Valentine’. I am not quiet into hard rock but they were awesome, Damo I reckon you would like them (if you don’t already).

There was also free beer or vodka on offer and my boss and I eneded up getting pretty trashed as they were free pouring the vodka (the crowd must have needed more warming up).

Right at the end of the night my boss scored us a Guitar Hero pack each for the Xbox 360, I don’t have one so I think he is going to bring his into work for a little while and we can all rock out on our lunch breaks.

Me, Seal & Matt

Tonight I had a meeting with Seal in SOHO about his new website that I have been telling you all about. It was a fantastic night, Seal and his manager Ric are really nice people and it makes working for them even better than I could imagine.

We did a lot of talking, checked out Seal’s photography and watched some videos. The website is going to be packed with new content and I’m excited about all the things we have planned.

Tomorrow night we have another gig to go to, a new artist we will be doing work for. Maybe, just maybe after that we’ll be dropping in on the Guitar Hero launch party in the city.

I love this place!!!

As the title expresses, I am quiet bummed about my weekend.
I booked tickets over a month ago to go and see Top Gear Live at the MPH Motor Show in London this Saturday. The tube lines were down so I had to catch replacement buses that more than tripled my trip, once arriving at the MPH show it appeared to be almost the same as the British Motor Show (except they had a cool replica Bat Mobile) I went to a couple of months back so decided the £22 ticket price was still  OK because I got to see the Top Gear guys perform a live show. Their recorded show on the BBC is booked solid for the next few years too by the way.

I stand in line for almost an hour, the queue finally starts to slowly shuffle in, I get to the gate and I am informed that I do not have tickets for the show…only the car display!
I argued for a while and then was shown that a Top Gear Live inclusive ticket is £38 and I have stupidly booked the wrong tickets online.

I had a drink and then went shopping to cheer myself up!

The new 1.6 billion pound (3.9 Billion AUD according to XE) Westfield shopping centre in London opened during the week so I thought I would drop by and check it out. It was pretty much what you would expect for that price, all the most expensive stores in the world, flat screen TVs everywhere and loads and loads of cool stores.
I ended up getting some new jeans and some leather gloves (the snow gloves I have been wearing make me a little clumsy when trying to put my train ticket into the gates). There was massive displays on, a Boost Juice (first one I have seen over here) and even live lingerie models in the windows of a store!

Sunday was quiet, washed clothes, cleaned up and bought some new bedding to cater for the cold snaps we have been having (snowing and what not).

I have a massive week ahead of me and Seal’s site will be going live soon, so I imagine more late nights. On the plus side I will be getting a new work computer (encouragement to work harder maybe?) and you will all get to see some of my hard work

London Snow

On Tuesday night it snowed in London, the first time snow has fallen in London in October since 1934. 

I was sitting on the computer and noticed the sky was a weird orange colour but didn’t think much of it, an hour or so later as I was going to bed I looked out the window and my back porch was covered in ice, but so was the trees and the fence…it was snowing!!!

I took a couple of photos but it was dark and they didn’t turn out well, so above is a nice one google provided.

As I said before on Wednesday I got to go and see Seal perform live at Ronnie Scott’s a really famous Jazz bar in West End. The gig was awesome and I meet some cool people including Seal’s manager.
I was meant to have a meeting with Seal and his manager after the show but Seal got pulled away for TV interviews, fingers crossed I will get a chance to speak with him once he comes back from shows around Europe.
