Did my final gig of the year yesterday. Time to chill and unwind now. Pub tonight, pub tomorrow, quick trip to pick up a mixer on Thursday....followed by the pub again. Can you see a pattern emerging? :d
Friday, Christmas shopping (well, what else is Christmas Eve for? :eek:)
Next gig - February 12th! Reeeeaaaaally looking forward to the extended break from gigs. :beer1:
Merry Christmas everyone.

I was just about to start the same thread!
My last one is tonight and it's a staff party for one of my venues with karaoke too. Boo!
I've spent all morning messing around changing mixers and controllers about...(don't ask)
Tomorrow will be food shopping and menu planning.
Next gig, 30th, then NYE and surprisingly I have around 15 gigs for January.

Cetainly is long....longer than I would have liked to be honest, but I'll enjoy it nontheless. I have plenty of design projects that folks have been patiently waiting for so I'll be kept busy.
GIGGING!
:lol:
I don't know what's worse. the thought of gigging on Crimbo Eve or Christmas Shopping. Last year I was still running around the shops at half 4 in the afternoon on Christmas Eve. I vowed I'd never do that again. 12 months later here I am again. :lol:
surprisingly I have around 15 gigs for January.
See....that's what happens when the streets are paved with Gold. :d
Glad to hear you're keeping busy mate. :) :)

We've got a Xmas party tomorrow that we didn't know we had until it was mentioned in passing on Saturday.
Largely on account of the hotel not booking a DJ for the night, so we were unaware we were needed.

Glorious feeling, isn't it?
I finished on Friday, and I'm off until the third week of Jamuary. Bliss.
Mind you, I have massively important exams on 4/5 Jan, and the university filestore has been off line for the past four days. Merde.
