Fair play for offering people the chance to remix a song in 6/8 at 63bpm and well done to James Houston for coming up with an original way of doing it.
This is a quick shout out to my friend, and budding film maker, Tim Jolly who’s recently bought himself a new camera. Here is one of his quick films;
After being shown the camera I think the work is truly amazing and can only get better.
It’s been over two months since I’ve last blogged here, which is pretty slack so I thought it was time for a bit of an update.
It’s the winter so things have been a little bit quiet but things are starting to pick up. So, what have a been up to?
Well, I’m working on a few bits and bobs for ACC. With Jim Bailey I’ve completed one gig in Hollywood (which, incase you didn’t know is also a suburb of Birmingham) and one failed gig in Warwick. For those who are interested it failed due to a “Police Incident” on the M25 which meant in 3 1/2 hours we got as far as Heathrow Airport.
As it’s been quiet I’ve taken a couple of breaks. One to Germany and one to see friends in Durham.
This year has seen some excitement. I was lucky enough to get to visit the world famous Abbey Road recording studios with the Compassion Art project. I’m also hoping to be back out with Onehundredhours in the near future.
Apologies for the lack of any real updates to my blog for the last 9 days. It’s a busy time of the year. Of course, some of it is work busy and other of it is just general business. Though I have to admit it for the most part has been constructive.
Since the last post I have; Successfully given part 1 of a 3 part talk at Ignite (2 more to write). Discussed the direction of my job with my line manager, Steve (will post on that when the time is right). Done my first back line tech gig with onehundredhours. Completed Worship Explosion with the Kings Chamber Orchestra. Sorted out the porting of my mobile number from Orange to T-Mobile. Started planning of the ACC Christmas Special (Which is now 12 days away). Bought a few more of Rosie’s Christmas presents.
That actually appears to be a fairly constructive few days. I’m almost ready for Christmas.
For the 1.5 people who read this I have a little news for you. I shall be linking up with CCM band Onehundredhours for their Christmas gig on 7 December 2007. Details are still being worked out but I shall be side of stage making sure guitars are fully in-tune and snare drums aren’t broken!
My blog posts have been slightly sporadic (and really random) recently and I thought you probably deserved an explanation as too why.
July started with teaching French students, from there I went off on tour with Jim Bailey. I also managed to squeeze in a computer service for one for my friends. That was followed by meetings, filming and plenty of coffee before driving good friends Delirious to the airport and teaching started again. The weekend bought Pete’s wedding and Rosie doing Race for Life (which I’ve already blogged about).
The last few days? Well, 17 July was my birthday, and while it wasn’t a big thing I had a good day celebrating with family. On the 18th Rosie took me over to Brighton to spoil me - and I can honestly say I feel spoilt. The 19th signaled a return to teaching and somehow also managed to fit in helping Rosie’s mum out, setting up the Ford’s wireless internet and joining my fellow Slam leaders for the last Slam ever.
So today, it’s been interesting! I’ve been teaching (again) and had an interesting conversation with the head of IT at Northbrook College and as a result was told to submit my CV as there’s a job in IT support available from the end of August. Then I headed over to pick up the keys for the transit van so I can pick Delirious up from the airport. I also spoke to Tre from onehundredhours and I’m heading off to Soul Survivor’s Momentum festival on Sunday to have a chat with them about some stuff.
And so onto next week. I’m teaching again on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday then I’ve got an interview for the admin job at Arun Community Church. Thursday brings some more contract IT work with LA:UK. Friday should be a day off and Saturday brings another wedding.
I think that’s an update from the world of Dave
It’s perhaps not so odd to think of wedding and running the face as subjects for a blog, after all they kind of go hand in hand. And that’s exactly what my weekend consisted of;
Saturday saw the wedding of Pete and Ali. It was truly joyous and worshipful occasion and I’d like to thank the West’s and the Gray’s for inviting Rosie and me. I’d also like to thank Jon for leading the congregation in a great time for worship and Mr. Dan Lush for making the best man’s speech so memorable. I won’t give you any clues, but maybe click here.
So that takes us to Sunday and race for life. One of the last things Rosie did in Human Biology, before dropping it, was to sign up for race for life. I decided to go along to offer support, so we headed off to the Weald and Downland museum just north of Chichester. The sight of 2000 women (most of whom were wearing lycra) all warming up to a club version of Amarillo was one that will haunt me for long time to come.
The was a common singularity about everyone there, and I’m sure that many people reflected on people they knew who were either fighting, had won, or tragically had lost the battle with cancer. It would be hard to sum up the mood, it was kind of like an out door gig, yet also like a summer fete.
Rosie did it in a time of 59 minutes and 15 seconds which is very respectable.
