Globe fun? Maybe.

Ten peeyem. I’m in bed. What?

Yeah so Ffi and I had a meeting today. We made an insta for it. @alandffi . Early days and we haven’t been accumulating images. Photographers have taken wonderful shots, but they’ve always been for the client. Now is as good a time as ever to start aggregating what we have. We are trying to make sense of the fact that we have been good at this shit for decades. And we are pricing ourselves accordingly.

I find the whole thing exhausting. It’s like… yeah we can do this, we are good at this, we can deliver to your client and make it fun for them. But we can’t do it for fuck all, and we certainly can’t build new things for you for nowt. I had to learn to put a price tag on myself. Perhaps I also had to learn how to earn a price tag. But yeah, I can sort your entertainment stuff out, and practical up your idea. I can’t be fantasy magic human, but if you are realistic and you aren’t trying to get gold for the price of silver, I can make your entertainment happen better than you thought for a competitive price that likely outguns the cokeheads I’ve had to duck my head for in the past. I’m thinking of a big old door and a horrible coke boy and me doing a fucking great job despite him, timing things perfectly. The problem with coke is people lose perspective. I’m very happy it’s nothing to do with my life, that shit. Arsehole powder.

So I’m home having pitched … something. And I’ve started to see why Jon bailed out. They can swiftly ask for the impossible. Ideas ideas ideas but with no real view on what these ideas can cost.

I want to make everything function nicely for everyone. But that’s just my crap. I’m gonna go to bed now and see where I am in the morning. They are interested in Mel and her snake Tarot, but she quite rightly says “show me the money” and actually that’s the key to this madness. We either get paid or we don’t, and there’s no point doing this if we don’t get paid, we aren’t here for fun.

I need to clear up my wiki etc. Such a huge amount of bollocks. Anyone fancy a wiki exchange?
