On Wednesday night I went to see Kanye West perform his ‘Glow In The Dark’ concert at the O2 centre in London. It was without a doubt the best concert I have ever been to, the show, performance and the fact I was only 3 people back from the front meant the entire night was AWESOME!!
This concert was more of a stage show with an on-going story about him and his spaceship crash landing and having to find their way back home, it was great how each song fitted in with the little story.
At one stage he freestyled for about 10mins about his life, his mum and the critics which was cool but he did start to sound like the usual “Kanye Ranting” but that’s why we love him.

Last night I attended a dinner for the Tourism Authority of Thailand, one of our clients at The Dorchester hotel on Park Lane. It was another fine night out in London and entertaining getting dressed up (I am sure none of you have ever seen me like this before).
We had plenty of Champaign and appetisers before the speeches, including one from the HRH Princess of Thailand, Ubol Ratana.
Tonight I am going to the massive O2 centre to watch Kanye West perform his ‘Glow In The Dark’ concert and I am psyched!
I will post photos of that tomorrow.

On Saturday I went out with Neil from work to watch a rally stage out at Rushmore (about an hour or so outside London). Even though it pissed down all down I had a blast. The first stage saw a crash and an Accent almost wipe out a camera man. The 4-Wheel drives were the best though, loads of WRX’s, EVOs and WRC Focus’ all tearing up the stage.
Later that night we headed out to a friend of Neil’s to watch the traditional lighting of the Bonfire and Fireworks displays. Due to all the rain that day the Bonfire was soaking wet and they had to dose the thing in fuel, at first it was awesome as it was burning off but then the wind came through and smoked out everyone.
The fireworks were great, even in the rain.

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!!!
