I got close to landing a couple of really great job opportunities last week, but didn't get offered either of them.
Here's a list of the forums. All I'd need would be a laptop and perhaps some recording software. But for the rest of the day, I just filled time. Now admittedly, for a couple of hours I actually did some productive job searching. Personally, I think it was a really good idea to lay on an event like this, and it has certainly encouraged me to book some tickets for their performances throughout the rest of the year.
So I only had a couple.
And where is their remembrance?
We had a lot of great food, a little bit too much wine, and walked for miles around the city. So in addition to hearing the preview live on the night, we'll also get all the tracks to make up our own sampler CD to keep.
And one of the advantages of living in Edinburgh, is that interesting things can happen completely out of the blue. I think you'll find that there is a warning. Indeed, I'm rather excited to hear that one of those friends is already planning her next visit to see me in the next few weeks. And where is their remembrance?

Fear of terrorism has never been higher amongst normal people, and at the same time, the erosion of civil liberties of those same normal people by their own governments has never been more real. I've been watching a bit of TV, reading a bit, and surfing the net for the rest of time. And at that time, no doubt, they'll find it impossible to shut me up, as I tell them all my about my exciting new job.
