Friday 1st August

I began the day by trying to compile a chronological list of all the events and projects Fierce Earth have been involved with since the very beginning in 97/98. I thought it would be a good idea for people to be able to see the length and breadth of their work over the past ten or so years! But it sounds a lot simpler than it actually is!

There seems to be an interest in what Fierce do behind the scenes and between the annual festival as Chris Unitt featured my first post on Created in Birmingham. I had a spike of visitors all around that time and again yesterday when he mentioned me and announced that Fierce are blogging!

I did a little work on the Fierce! 08 report and then moved on to the Metapod site, calling those past participants we emailed last week for their reply.

We had a response from Michael Hale a photographer who sent over an amazing B&W photo of his of Amy Winehouse (I’ll let you know when the site is live – it is really worth a look!). The lady from PoGo Jewellery sent over images of her work and so did a couple of other past participants. I only managed to speak to a couple of people, but I left messages for them to return my call or the email…

I started then to put together the information to go on the live site and forwarded all these to Helga for review.

Simon and I left a little early too, so I managed to just about catch the earlier train which was a nice change and very welcome as I had a long day ahead of me on Sat…taking Creative Republic to Stoke Sounds – I’ll update you on my progress asap!
