I know my updating has been sparse lately, but I have a very good reason.

I'm fucking busy.

I've decided to grab the proverbial career bull by teh horns and wrestle my career out of it by myself.
Sure there isn't the comfort of steady pay, cushy chairs, free weekends and free coffee.
But at the same time I don't have to listen to colleagues bitch about thier stupid offspring, I work with people who actually know who Offspring is, no staff meetings, no performance reviews and no corporate wear.

Sure I'll still be serving pints as the back up income, but I'm not going to wait around for someone to hand me my dream job. I'm tenatious that way.

Now, between reviewing gigs for Seatwave.com and cross posting them on WickedRock, I'm also trawling MySpace for venues to book my two month tour of Europe with two amazing bands.
I'm not going to lie - its fucking intimidating. But, dude, I'm from Jo'burg. It takes more than a continent filled with morons to intimidate me.

Now if you need me I'll be over here reading smut on LJ working hard at finding bookings.

I'll make this sweet and short....

What do you get when you mix the following:

1 x Fractured wrist

1 x Black eye

1 x Head Injury

1 x Sore Throat

1 x Runny Nose

1 x Cold Sore on Lip

1 x Bout of Aggressive PMS

= ME!!!!

Consider yourselves warned.

I just heard a gazillion emo fangirls cry out. The faint echo was that of 'NOOOO!! WHIEEEEEE?????'

Yep, Gerard Way of MCR (if you haven't guessed, my fave band in the world) tied the knot on Monday 3rd Sept. backstage. after a show.

Now aside from the boys getting hitched, you have to wonder - do the brides not want a 'normal wedding'? Do they not want a big white dress and stuff? Or is it now Rock 'n Roll to get hitched backstage with a bunch of sweaty, smelly techs and musicians?

Either way, I'm going to rise above the fangirl mentality, and wish Gerard and LynZ the best fo luck for thier future in wedded bliss.

It was my birthday yesterday and I had a FAB time raiding the London Dungeon, Madame Tussauds and watching Wicked!

Also fought off a would be burglar this morning.

Fun and games!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to my plans to take over the world.

Ok, I know I've been away from blogging unlike my promise to you earlier, but things are a little insane. I'm clocking 66 hour weeks, which doesn't mean I speand 66 hours sitting on my ass. Oh No. I'm on my feet serving IDIOTS! So by the time I get home, I'm pretty much fucked.

Sorry.

Will update when and where I can.

All I can say for now is - I'm working. Maybe you should be doing the same.

Guess what?

I knew it! I just knew it!

It's 5am. I have to be at work at 11am. I haven't slept for 48hours.

Why?

Cos today I got my new computer! Yes Yes Yes! So i'm back online and feeling..ok, exhausted, but I have A LOT to catch up on since being computerless.

So more blogging, more stories and by god more band stuff coming your way!

Cos I'm back baby, YEAH!

As of two minutes ago, I am the proud owner of two sets of tickets - one set will get me into the Astoria in October to watch the super amazing Motion City Soundtrack and the other set will get me into the O2 in November to watch My Chemical Romance - suck on that you little fangirls!!! MWAHAHAHAHA!!!

And don't any one of you back home scold me for splurging on a few concert tickets. This is part of the reason why I'm in London - to watch as many bands as I can without having to wait an eternity for thier management to wake up and take them out to SA where I have to contend with ridiculous ticket prices and the appalling venue that is The MTN Dome (or is it the Coca Cola dome now??)

Also going to see Kate Nash at HMV on Monday! totally digging her new single!

Oh, and i've been personally invited to go watch Transistor State next week. Why? Cos I'm the coolest barman - EVER!!!

I'll be getting my laptop soon...very soon...and then all blogging hell will break loose!! can't wait!

I'm toying with the idea to go on a cycling tour of Europe next year. Anyone wanna join me??
