Alas, I have forgotten about my blog amongst the hours spent playing FIFA 16, watching the new Criminal Minds, First Dates and Modern Family seasons, and of course learning a bit on Educating Cardiff. But always the most important thing - Made In Chelsea is back properly and my educational career is over. Oh, and I have no favourite on the new The Apprentice.
Between all that I have filled out countless applications as I make the transition into the real world. No news there but I don't give up. Hashtag "cliche".
The Lancashire Spinners basketball club's season is now in full swing after a perfect 6-0 record in the National Trophy. It's been a real treat getting to know the new recruits - Nick George, Kyle Carey, Alex Roberts, George Darling, Cian Hickey and Mike Bernard. They all bring a fresh energy to the squad that, despite being in a new league, has show they have the talent to succeed now. And I get to bring coverage to the Manchester Evening News, which is new this year.
Last night, for the M.E.N., I had the honour of reviewing Kid Ink and Pia Mia (w/ special guests) at the O2 Apollo. It was the first gig of its kind that I attended and it is safe to say, I'll stick to heavy metal shows where I know what I'm doing.
All the acts were solid, no doubt, but it was such an interesting introduction to live hip-hop/rap music. What it felt like was going to a club that was built on a slant with live music. I have enjoyed Kid Ink for sometime now - more so since the release of the Almost Home EP. He's a truly unique performer, though one I was pleased to see, and I'm pleased I went.
I can say that the Westfield High School cafeteria had more intense dances (sozz not sozz) - the clothes to people ratio was also about the same. Median age? 15 1/2.
Kid Ink was an experience. My friend referred to it as a journey.
Not sure where he got that from, although he'd been wanting to see him perform for well over a year.
