For those of you interested, my band played our first show with our new rhythm section on Thursday. We had a great time and it was really cool seeing the twins on stage finally. Candice and Alana have really added to the band in a big way. We've been rehearsing really hard for the last 4 or so months, first teaching them how to play all the material then getting them comfortable enough to play it live. The sky is the limit now we've also found a new replacement vocalist too. Emily has a big voice and is a lovely person, someone we're really pleased to have in the band. She will be debuting with us at our next show, in two weeks time. It will be a big night too, as it is a Saturday night and we're expecting a really big turnout. The band has got a string of shows coming up, which means I'm going to be busy.
My day job has just got very busy too. I have to put together the material for a book of abstracts from research awards for the last 3 years. I'm basically doing all the layout work for it and am looking forward to the challenge. The awards are something I've been organising for the last three years, everything from advertising, to collecting all the abstracts for judging and organising the event itself. It isn't until late in the year and I'm planning on having the book completed by then, so I've got a lot to do.
So I guess what I'm giving you all is reasons why my commenting has been sporadic of late. There are some of you I haven't got to for a while. But you are in my thoughts.
