Stuff and things

Yet another week goes by in a blur and not a single blog post!? With my thesis due in less than two weeks now, chances are there won’t be too many posts for a while. But for now there’s plenty of news.

Check out the promo trailer (above) for Vultures episode 2: The Scarlet Lady Vanishes. Mycrofilms are currently shooting episode 2 in and around Kilkenny and it’s shaping up to be hilarious. The second adventure for the three hapless detectives of Vultures Private Investigators will see them caught up in all sorts of hilarious situations and fans of episode 1 will not be disappointed. Keep an eye on the Vultures bebo page for updates and behind the scenes photos.

If you weren’t a fan of it then you’re probably one of those really annoying idiots who have plagued filming in town by doing stupid things like walking into shot in the middle of a scene, staring at the camera and saying “now, there’s a nice picture for ye lads!” or trying to push crew members out of the way so you can look through the viewfinder on the camera!? It never ceases to amaze me how rude, obnoxious and ignorant some people can be!

As I mentioned on this weeks podcast, Atrax Mantis were back out in the studio working with Daw, for their upcoming E.P ‘Condemned to Hatred”. We had announced an invitation for somebody to be on the cover of the E.P and already the lads have found somebody suitable. We’ve been working on the concept of the artwork for weeks now and I’ve recently been in contact with an awesome Special FX artist who will be working on the shots with us. More news on that very soon.

Other random news and bits; myself and the Chief will be providing P.R for Clive Barnes and Jeff Lang as they tour around the country this summer. I’ll be doing a photo-shoot with Clive (the legend) this week. I’ve come 2nd in the ‘Life at ITC’ photography competition. There’s brand new tattoo shots and random captures up on my bebo photography account.

I’ll be hooking up with the lads from Chemical Addiction over the next week or so to do some promo-shots and work on the artwork for ‘The Brian Jones E.P’. My important message to local media received quite a good response and I’ve even been talking to some journalists who agreed with me (yet declined to say so on the blog), maybe I’ll get a job out of it yet!?

Devious Theatre announced that we’ll be doing Trainspotting in the Watergate Theatre this summer! I can’t wait although I’m struggling with my Scottish accent! Check out the awesome new Devious Theatre website and stay tuned for updates and news.

I caught the end of Ghost Town’s set upstairs in the Pumphouse last night and from what I can remember it was awesome. Unfortunately I didn’t have a camera with me, I was taking a night off.

Other than that, it turns out it’s Easter, maybe chocolate will cure my hangover!?
