Mobile

So, after years of trying not to go mobile, I had to bite the bullet and give in to the pressure.

Actually, I've been using my work Blackberry to keep in touch but with my increased responsibility at the Shelter Valley Folk Festival, I needed a device that actually worked at the site.


The festival site is located in the Grafton area and cell service at the site is spotty. In all my years there, I have never been able to use my phone and that includes the Blackberry.



Last year, one of my volunteers had his iPhone with him. I was supprised but the thing actually worked. Thery have a great employee deal here at work for mobile service so I decided to sign up and get a phone. Due to the service issues at the site, I went with the iPhone. This better work, that's all I can say.
I've been fairly happy with it compared to the Blackberry but the BB is attached to my business network and our security department has it fairly locked down.

Starting the year off busy

How was your New Year?

JT and I had a bit of a party on NYE. I crashed a few hours after midnight but JT watched the sun come up.
New Years Day was quiet. Kind of a recovery day. We cleaned up the basement a bit the following day and had a rare weekend rehearsal on Monday.

Tonight is the first festival meeting of the year. The drive to Grafton isn't too bad in good weather but today it's snowing a bit. The highway should be fun. Coming home after is always a killer. Hard to keep focused that late.

We got a meeting with a producer guy on Wednesday then our regular rehearsal on Thursday.
Maybe I'll takl to you then.
