Thursday 30th October 2008

6am, getting through a few jobs before Isla wakes. This morning's challenge is to finish that invitation for the Art Show we are holding on the 14th and 15th November - showing Renee's Fine Art Photography and Pettina's ceramic and glass works. It should be fun but lots of work to co-ordinate, setup and run.

It is getting hot here already, due for a very warm day I think.

I am out with my mum today, I have to take some documents to my lawyers, then we're going clothes shopping! mmmmm not sure if I am keen or not.

Things are moving on with another business interest, the music website. www.wwtq.net (World Wide Talent Quest) is a website where singers, bands - serious and not so serious - can upload their music file and enter concerts/competitions to win pretty big prizes. They get their friends to vote and the one with the highest vote wins. So, free to upload, $5 to enter concert, free to vote and you could win $1000. There are higher levels also. Our challenge now is to get the concept popular, get it out there.

We also have a panel of experts, all from the music industry in some way, watching the entries, well listening to them! Some will offer larger one off concert prizes like production deals, others are watching out for talent for upcoming tv shows. It's very, very exciting but again very, very difficult getting a new concept off the work table and into reality.

The way I see it, it is a great opportunity for Indie Bands to have a go, win much needed money and hopefully get recognition.

Anyway, something else for me to think about. Anyone with ideas out there - do share!
