Yep, all of that is coming your way...
First off, I interviewed singer/songwriter Rachael Cantu, of catchy ditty 'Saturday' with Tegan Quin of Tegan and Sara. Rachael is from Orange County, a talented lady whose just started a raft of gigs opening for BB King. That feature/interview will be appearing in the next issue of Scotcampus, out May.
I went to the major new exhibit at the Gallery of Modern Art, "sh(OUT)", all about lgbt lives as expressed through contemporary art. Some very moving pieces, some perhaps startling on first glance but not as necessarily alarming as some might have you believe... I then popped into one of the accompanying exhibits, "Our Vivid Stories", created by an lgbt youth group. I covered those exhibits, also featured in the May issue of Scotcampus.
I compiled a feature on young chef Sam Stern for Source magazine, and a community feature on charitable organisations who have benefited from a government cash from criminals scheme for Primary Life. PL is going nationwide.
Those will be out in the coming months for Spring.
Playwriting wise... working away, and waiting for feedback. I also put one I was working on, on hold. I wasn't pleased with what I was writing, it didn't feel right somehow. I may yet come back to it, we'll see.
I've been in touch with a few national magazines, UK wide that is, nothing in stone of course, but there's interest, and that's a good thing.

Trying to set up a very cool interview in the next month or so... oh it would be so cool if it happened. But maybe that's just because I personally like this artist very much. Let's just say she's a she, and she's just made it into the Top 10 this week, first hit single. That narrows it down... maybe too much, lol. Even if the interview doesn't happen, it's been fun thinking "what if". In fact, it might be too exciting if it did happen. I might not be able to get through it through sheer exhiliration. Deep breaths.
Till next time,
x.
