This year’s Summer of Sonic is already proving to be an interesting challenge for everyone – bigger and better is…better but has some growing pains along for the ride. In awesome news we’re already aware that an even bigger foreign quota of fans will be descending on London this year than ever before. I know people are also asking about tickets – all I can say there is that we’re just waiting on some T&Cs and then we’ll be ready to rock and roll. We’ve also got a fair few things that will excite you tremendously and wonder just how on earth we’ve been able to do all this – the Archie announcement was just the tip of the iceberg.
Eat your greens or they'll sink the Titanic...
Possibly an iceberg lettuce, not quite sure at this point.
The thing that has surprised me the most though is we’ve actually started getting job applications for Summer of Sonic. It turns out there’s a fair few of you who’d like to work the event, either for work experience or just for the honour of being involved in it – which says a lot about how people view the event.
Now I’ve had CV’s and all sorts of requests sent to me and I’ve not had a chance to reply as yet. We at SOS are deeply touched by these requests however we must decline, as we’ve already got a large team who’ll be more than capable of carrying out all the duties alloted to them. They’re doing a lot more this year as everyone’s tired of me half-killing myself (Mrs AAUK especially) and there will be specific teams carrying out tasks as has already been talked about on the staff page.
In fact the sheer size of the event means that the community guys might even be contracted for the day, something we’re still confirming.
So thanks to all of you for your interest, but we’d rather you enjoyed the event yourselves – it should be quite something.
To be totally honest guys… XD I hear from the team every now and again and it’s SUPER STRESSFUL STUFF. I mean seriously I’m only organising a tiny meet before the event and I’m getting stressed thinking about it! XD Sucks though. I’d love to contribute personally only… Artistically.
AAUK! What are you doing! We could have had slaves to get us coffee then!
I’d be more than happy to artistically contribute in someway… unfortunatly by faithfull Tabet PC bit the dust today ;_;
At least it’ll live on in the memory of the front page’s welcome banner. LOLZ!
Can’t wait for the tickets.
Amazing how people want to be a part of this. Also, this other thing you’re doing, it intrigues me.
With only a month left until the big day, I think things are going to get very interesting around here…
