Glasses half full or otherwise

There are some 'glass half empty' people about. I don't expect everyone to be a fan of music, and live music in particular. I don't understand golf but people seem to have genuine passion for it. So when people say 'why would I want to stand in a field all day listening to bands?' I do sympathise if the only gig you've ever been to is Robbie Williams. It does annoy me though when 'artists' don't appreciate that someone is prepared to put their own money on the line to do something GOOD. Not worthy good or charitable good, but good good, to search out the outstanding and unique.

If there's not an ill targeted arts council grant available they're not interested. We glibly await what happens next year, if the funding axe falls heavily on the arts (and it's 2 - 0 with the referee looking at his watch...)

Some people's glasses are half full. Like the fella I spoke to who's company runs all the car parking at some very large festivals indeed. Turns out he lives only a mile or so from us. He couldn't of been more enthusiastic about what we're doing and we're meeting up this week. Top.

Latest news, and to carry on the now tired glasses theme, Kate's glass couldn't be fuller (snore) after she got an A*****++ in her booze licence exam. Roland the tent man coming this week, hoorah. I also found the lovely and mysterious Helen Roddy on Facebook (see a few posts down) and invited her to be my friend, no word yet...weird...
