I'm literally hyperventilating, When we went to see white rose movement the other week I was barred from photographing them because there was so many "proffessionals" with press passes, Gary sent me a link from one of the press pass holders and his photos were awful, so I got pissy and decided there is no way I can get ahead without press passes and no press passes available for people who aren't working for a magazine.

Next gig is Esoterica at the Shepherds Bush Empire in September which I wanted to photograph anyway but the venue wont allow it, so I hunted out their personal email and got this back today.


"Hi Gemma,
Unfortunately for most of our career we've not had control over who can and can't be added to very limited guest lists or press passes and as such have not been able to support any hard working individuals such as yourself.

However, as this our headline show to support the release of our new album, for once, we CAN decide - and your portfolio looks great!! I have copied in Gary Trew who is our manager and the promoter of this show - he will be happy to add you to the press list and give you access to all press areas for the show.

Thank you so much for your support, and for taking the time to shoot us at other shows, we genuinely do appreciate it.

See you at the show! :-)"

Luke (esOterica).

CAN I GET A FUCK YES?! I'm shaking. this is amazing.
I love this band, I've loved this band for a long time and they're handing it to me on a plate.
I'm so fucking scared i'm going to screw it up, this is the excuse to go on a major equipment splurge of a lifetime. OH MY GOD.

FUCKING GENIUS. thanks littlewoods, for not now sending me a bunch of clothes I didn't know I'd fucking ordered. I made a list of clothes and wanted to see if I could add a discount to them and how good it would be, next fucking thing I get an email telling me "Thanks for your order" so now I've ordered like 5 pairs of jeans. cause I OBVIOUSLY HAVE FIVE ARSES.

like its not enough I owe money on my new look store card, and my fashion world account now I owe you too, and brilliance I can't cancel them till they've arrived, which means it'll cost me 3.95 delivery for nothing. grrrr.
best part is I've no fucking money whatsoever and my ma is going to hit the damn roof, she's paying my £30 phone bill because i've got no money so now it looks like I'm spunking her money on clothes. argh argh argh.

how? why? internetyoumakemesodamnmad.

this can only be followed with "and I was very very drunk brrr" infact I got fabulously plastered so much for the whole "no boozing like a wino before and after gigs" policy.

I'm failing college u guiz anyone want to make some educated guesses as to why I suck so hardcore?
I need to go and take a lush bath, baths with Lush make my hangover not bite so much. mm snowcake.
