things have been a little weird around here. and impossibly loud, and good, and busy, and and and…
friday we celebrated andrew’s birthday. we got him a notebook, and a scarf, we put up a note on his door at 4am and in the evening I had my first ‘DJ’ night. It was more like playing music I like rather than really djing but it was fun enough. People (the ‘big’ crowd, anyway) started showing up after 1, so the last hour was hectic.. my boss – well, one of them – looked like an old norwegian punk. At first I didn’t know he was my boss (I’d only met his wife on wednesday), just thought he was some guy who was really into all the music I was playing. It turns out that he likes Joy Division – like, a LOT – so he danced like crazy to Love Will Tear Us Apart. He was also enthusiastic about Declare Independence – yes I like that song so much.
Everybody’s mood was a bit strange after they found out what happened on wednesday (a girl hung herself in front of the club, there was a place with candles and flowers that her friends had left in her memory.)

Today was the first Silent Space/Empty Space workshop day. We’ve got a lot to go through if we want to have performances ready for the Open House day in two weeks, so that basically means working 10-5 (sometimes longer) + the weekend. I’m making my books on the side too – I feel like I’ve finally found a niche here and I really don’t want to leave in December. I need more time. My tutor is totally supporting my decision though, so let’s see what happens. Cross your fingers…
