Being Broken Into Sucks!

I must admit I'm keeping up with my laziness on updating this blog! Its been a bit of a crap month actually - I had my house broken into and my laptop stolen, which included quite a lot of my music. Just waiting for the insurance company to pay out now. Not impress. They ended up getting away with a TV, PS3, laptop, mobile phone, ipod and some jewlrey. Grr. Luckily I backed up most of my hard drive in November so I've got most of my important files backed up :)Im pleased to find out the Castle hotel is going to re-open and focus on acoustic acts. They're even renovating the back room. Looking forward to playing there again once its all done up - heres hoping they renovate the toilets too! From memory they were quite disgusting! Theres more about that here http://www.manchesterconfidential.com/index.asp?Sessionx=IpqiNw86JDTqIaqiNwF6IHqi&realname=Castle_Hotel,_Oldham_Street_to_reopen
I found im definitely playing on the Campfire stage at this years Bearded Theory. Of all the festivals I've emailed about playing they're the only ones so far to give me a slot, which is quite dissapointing. Im thinking I havnt played nearly enough gigs recently so Im going to pull my finger out at the weekend and arrange some more local gigs and I might possibly start playing some open mics again this week.
On the website front I was less than impressed that my old hosting company decided to terminate my account just because they'd move over to a limited company and didn’t let me know I needed to give them my credit card details. Hence jealousofgirls.co.uk is now hosted by fasthosts who are giving me 2gb of webspace and unlimted bandwidth for £5 a month. I do need to re-upload Self Titled this evening, and I'm thinking of changing the website layout a little.. Laziness depending!
Oh, need to update my myspace at some point too!
