Ciara is the lead singer of Kitty and the Can Openers. Kitty and the Can Openers are one of only 16 bands in the current SlicethePie Showcase. If they get plenty of votes they will win £15,000 to put into recording an album. I would like to ask you to vote for Kitty and the Can Openers, the only Irish band in the Showcase, and help them win this! It would mean a lot for this band.
“Slicethepie is a web based artist financing engine that raises money for artists to professionally record an album. It enables users to invest in, profit from, and trade in artists’ success by turning every music fan into a talent scout and investor.”
All you have to do is sign up to the site (you have more than one email address you say? Why not add a few more votes!) and vote for the band on this page!
Thanks

I was thinking of updating my O2 Saga post but decided to give this a separate write up instead.
Yesterday when I should have been “opening the shutter”, I instead got a phone call from O2 Head office. I will not name names but the person I spoke to, had read the post, and to be frank, seemed appalled. I spent quite some time on the phone reiterating what was already up in writing on the post, but the more I went into it, the more they understood my frustration and were suprised at the fact I had stuck with them.
I tried to explain that the post was in no way an attempt from a blogger to start a hate campaign against O2, but more a way for people who may be thinking of changing network to get some insight at how I was treated as a long term customer, and that all I had ever wanted from the past month and a half, was a genuine apology, which is not much to ask.
There was no questions asked about the possibility of taking the post down, which I have to say is good to see.
I did get that apology and I think it was very much meant, and as I said to that person today in a text “thank you for taking the time to read what I said and for making that call.”
Supposedly another call should be finding its way to me from customer care, I look forward to hearing from them.
One thing that will not change is under no circumstances will I ever walk through the doors of the experience store on Grafton Street ever again after this weeks phone/counter experience.

I feel so good these days. I have a lot of good, inspirational friends and that makes me happy.
This song by The Killers was one that I felt I was able to relate to a while back, though it seems less appropriate each day. Still a great song.
“But you always hold your head up high
Cause it’s a long, long, long way down
This town was meant for passing through
But it ain’t nothing new
Now go and show them
That the world stayed round
But it’s a long, long, long way down
I never did get along with everybody else
I’ve been trying hard to do what’s right
But you know I could stay here all night
And watch the clouds fall from the sky”
