Also on the bill were Tom McShane and Third Man Theme and they were all very fantastic. I am getting excited about Belfast music again, and it has been a while but I think some different sounds are happening as opposed to the straight forward rock which isn't my personal taste.
The tote bags took quite a lot of time but also turned out a lot better than I pictured so it was worth it. I had never embroidered before but I really enjoyed it...although I think it best to not put so much work in at the last minute. I don't make a very nice person when I feel the stress. They are being sold through the bandcamp for £6 and they are probably worth a lot more considering the work but don't think people want to spend too much on tote bags. Perhaps the cost will change in the future but for now they are a pretty decent deal and come with a free download.
The badge packs weren't so popular. We sold one. To a band member's sibling. I really hope that people do purchase them over time because I am really happy with them and don't want to be the only one hanging out with them. To my surprise a lot of people bought the actual CDs, so the format must not be entirely dead.
Aside from that, it was a friend's birthday and we all made some food and had a glorious pot-luck feast. I illustrated him this picture of Admiral Ackbar.
I forgot to take a picture before gifting it, but Chris took this of it proudly displayed in his room. I think I prettied Ackbar up, I never realised how unfortunate he was in the looks department. Not that I had some hidden attraction to him but I never had such an opportunity to study him before.
Well it is Mother's day back home so I look forward to speaking to my parents today when it is a more appropriate hour, time-zone wise.
