Why there hasn't been a blog for a few days

Hello friends,



Firstly, you have my apologies. I am well aware that there hasn't been a blog for a few days and I have been inundated with requests for a new one.


There are many reasons behind this. Firstly, I've been dancing a lot recently, which tires me out LOADS. Also, I've been busy applying for jobs.


As dancing is my fortè, I thought I would focus on tying to become a professional dancer. I found a great website called gumtree and got applying. Here was the first ad that caught my eye:

"EXOTIC DANCERS WANTED FOR WORK 

IN A SHEFFIELD CITY CENTER GENTLEMANDS 

CLUB.

CALL KEV ON 0********** FOR MORE INFO"

I'm a complete gentlemand so of course I applied with this:

WANTED FOR WORK IN SHEFFIELD

I'm a pretty good dancer. Have professional
experience in dancing to :
-the kooks
-joy division
-the smiths

and many more
People are always looking at me in clubs. Have a
few dance moves I've invented so no one else will even know.
Would like to develop experience further if you have a 
position available.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Randle,

My phone isn't operational atm, the battery cover is
made of selotape and it's being a little temperamental.

Could you forward on to Kev to discuss via email ?

I'm still waiting to hear from Kev but I'm sure he'll be in touch

As I was on gumtree anyway I thought I would see what indie stuff I could find. I'd been considering finding a wingman for my clubbing for a while, when I stumbled upon an ad for an indie club mate. As you can imagine I immediately got in touch:

Hello!

  I am too an indieboy and for sometime I have been

looking for a clubmate.  I'm English (hearted, Irish

blooded lol), a pretty good talker, bit of a  ladies

man and a wicked dancer.  In a clubmate I'm looking for :      

- good dance moves (original please, last

clubmate was always stealing my moves)  

- some good conversation ideas  

- taste in all things indie  

- potentially a fellow blogger  

- pointy shoes.  

If you fit this description please get in

touch and we'll hit some clubs! 

 Joe

I then received the following response:

Hey Joe - 

 Okay, sounds fine! Pointy shoes? They tend

to be round most of the time... though black.

And trust me, my dance moves are highly

original! Do have own writings about indie

stuff at different places on the web.. Though

no real blogging at this point. I tend to have

a keen eye on this: http://www.leedsgigs.co.uk/ 

Be it Oporto, Northern Monkey, Angel share,

you tend to have great gig nights for very lil.

And there are plenty of dance nights around

as well (Wire and such). So I'll try to find

some inspiration &; if you have any

suggestions let me know! 

 Cheers #

My response:

Dear Friend,

Thank you for your timely response.

You sound like an okay guy. I'm a little 

disappointed about the lack of pointy shoes,

we may have to discuss this if we get serious.

Regarding the blogging issue you may

want to check out my posts on how to get

ready for a really good night out, here.

I will be in touch if you've made the shortlist.

I think I'll leave it a week then get in touch, as I always say, treat em mean, keep them cool.

If any one reading this wishes to apply to be an indie clubmate or give me a job as a dancer email me on:

priceysplace@gmail.com

I thank you for reading about my endeavour in to gumtree. Check back for updates, particularly from Kev, I really want this job as a dancer.

Yours,

JP
