Yesterday i did my usual local run of putting posters for our next Mr Elephant gig around Kings Heath and Moseley, and had a nice chat with Emma from Jibbering who’s asked me to get involved with her longest day festival, and today has spawned more event type excitement.

So the Mr Elephant Alldayer for friends is a nice thing to promote. No flyers, No need to worry about making your overdraft back on the door. Open to all ages, and hopefully the sun will shine on our lovely line up of things. Its free so there’s no hassle, and Keith has kindly offered some cash to pay for the costs, so everyone is happy.

This longest day festival sounds equally nice to be involved with, and think it’s a good thing to align the Mr Elephant with too. An allday affair at the hare and hounds with all manner of interesting stuff going on. I can sort some djs out to host the back bar, and we can have creative stuff happening all day.

I spoke to Lee from the Rainbow today and booked up the Rainbow Warehouse and the Rainbow Beach on an invitation to come and do something there. It seems quite difficult to get a gig there as they are only doing a certain amount of parties on their beach (and it really is a beach!), so i think we are quite lucky to get that one. I’n not sure exactly what direction i’d like to take it yet, but there’s a few people i’ve been wanting to work with in that respect, so this might be the way to get that rolling.

The rest of today was spent hunting feverishly for a venue for our next Project X Presents! We’ve literally looked at about 35 venues, over the last 4 months, and not one is possible! The main reason being we need at least 3/4 days setup time, as the show takes that long to setup, with ideally a dress rehearsal the night before, (if there’s time). Peckers new place is an option, and we are going to see that later, and after speaking to all the venue owners and promotors i could think of, it looks like that or a road closure, which isnt feasible for leaving stuff overnight anyway.

Ah well off to the meeting in a bit, so hope to have some news
