So I’m lying in this Travelodge bed in Cambridge unable to sleep at 2am as has become the norm of late and I’m thinking about Created in Birmingham and how I’m probably not going to get much of a chance to update it over the next week. And I remember a tradition amongst bloggers whereby when someone with a relatively high profile blog goes on holiday they get another blogger to cover for them. I’d never done it on my own blog for hopefully obvious reasons but for CiB it could just work.
Of course I should have sorted this weeks ago rather than via my phone having already left but what the hell. If you fancy blogging on CiB for the next week here are the requirements:
1. You must be able to start now.
2. You must be comfortable with Wordpress or similar.
3. You must be based in Birmingham and have an awareness of what’s going on in the arts world.
4. I must know you and trust you.
5. You mustn’t use this as a publicity tool for your own projects.
6. Ideally you’ll have been running your own blog for a while, which is why I’m posting this here rather than on CiB.
7. and probably some other stuff I can’t think of now or that’ll depend on who you are.
No money is involved. You’ll be doing me a favour and getting some exposure for yourself in the week after the awards. Drop me an email if you’re interested and I’ll set up the “winner” this afternoon hopefully.
Be great to meet you next time you are in Cambridge, I live near the station.
Shame you’re passing through at such speed, Pete. Would have been good to have had a beer or two with you and caught up a bit in person for a change. Oh well.
Indeed. I’ve never been here before and it looks like a nice place. Will have to come again.
Cool. Futon in the front room if you want to avoid the Travelodge next time. You’d be very welcome.
