Our first MySpace success story!Andy Kirbin is appearing on ACT! Now this Tuesday (tune in on BCB 106.6FM or online at
BCB Radio online). We met Andy on MySpace, and it's great to see people you meet on here in real life - like when I saw Conor A at Ladyfest Leeds.
Talking of Ladyfest...I'm meeting
The Duloks tomorrow, about the possibility of doing some Ladyfest things in Reading. I've not spoken yet to people on MySpace about this - I'm not ignoring you (especially The Rising Sun Arts Centre), I've just not got round to it yet, and there's still followup stuff from Ladyfest Leeds to deal with...
My current idea is a weekend festival with bands and workshops. We'll see how it goes.
For those who don't know about it, Ladyfest promotes female creativity, gender equality (because there are never enough women at open mic nights) and breaking down the barriers between performers and the audience. Any straight men who don't get this are advised to spend a few days surrounded by lovely (mostly) young women, and see how this changes their perceptions.
not making itI missed seeing Eliza Carthy and The Ratcatchers play last night, but seeing as it was £14 a ticket and I've spent far too much this week, I shouldn't be too upset. I'm sure she'll be playing other places.
I'm also going to miss The Duloks play tomorrow (but then I'm meeting their lead singer and I only saw them play 3 weeks ago). That's on top of all the other fantastic gigs I've missed over the last couple of months. Oh well...
Right, things to do, people to see... I'm off now. Catch ACT! Now on the radio/internet if you can.
