So here we are…THIS IS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE NEW WEBSITE AND WHAT IS COMING UP!!!
00:00:00:00, Wednesday 8th December 2009
On the newly designed B-SIDE EMPIRE website, after a very much hyped up couple of months I hope that the site design is to your satisfaction! Considering that I am not a web-designer nor have ever learned to be one, it’s not THAT bad right?! Haha. Anyway, things will probably change around more times than you can blink…
Again, we’d like to apologize for the delay in bringing you …

Hello,
Well its been an exciting seven days. I’m super stoked for our re-launch, which is now penned in- not pencilled- for the first half of December. It’s looking awesome, I’ve been writing emails and other important cool things, and wow I’m most excited about our new submissions which we are keeping secret until the launch. Well, kind of secret. Not really super secret. But I’m excited.
AND we want to get an event together in Leamington before we all tootle off home for Christmas so I need to get on that …

HIYAAA
Next week is Global Entrepreneurship Week and boy oh boy have Jenn and I got a busy week! Look, Jenn’s GEWified our logo for Twitter:
We’ve even got some new business cards ordered just for the industry people we’ll be meeting on Tuesday night at the Enternships Launch After Party. That’s right, we’re going to London for a cool party which will be full of interesting people who might be interested in what we do.
WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR???
In other news, our new website is looking better every day :) …

We haven’t disappeared!
Verity and I are still working hard on B-SIDE EMPIRE…
Just behind the scenes, that’s all. Hence, the seemingly dead silence. But no fret, these are not empty promises… just promises made with lots of other things going on at the same time. In year one, multi-tasking was a near impossible effort. In year  two, we got a bit better, and now we’re fucking pros!
Just wait… we’ll hit you with a B-SIDE EMPIRE wave that’ll make anyone ‘turn to the B-Side’ (hahahaha I’m such a joker). You’ll see :)

Another week, another Thursday, another Dog & Pony!
If you missed the first one… Don’t fret… there’s more fun to be had at this week’s D&P. You can find this weeks party details on the following poster:

Hello B-Siders…
Our website re-design is taking longer than anticipated. Once again, it is being done by ourselves, so please bear with us! But this doesn’t mean that we won’t keep updating the site in the meantime – you can keep sending over that work and we’ll continue keeping you updated via twitter, http://www.twitter.com/turntothebside
For now, if you’re around or near Leamington Spa on THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15TH then come down to THE DOG AND PONY SHOW held at ‘SMACK’ nightclub. If you’re into electronic music – from dubstep to 80s, …

An exciting new update from us…

Hi everyone!
Yesterday I tootled across Surrey in my Clio to Bletchingley for a few hours of MATTfest 2009, a “private party” in aid of the Meningitis Research Foundation and The Children’s Trust. Having arrived safely, without causing any injuries to the hundreds of cyclists who seemed to all have chosen the same day for a nice ride, I was armed with our new B-Side Empire Flip Ultra HD, my BlackBerry and suitable autumnal attire, and was ready for some music.
Our good friend Lucy joined me. You’ll be hearing more about …

Follow my unhealthy and excessive amounts of B-Side Empire ‘tweeting’ at http://www.twitter.com/turntothebside :)
(It’ll also keep you posted on what’s going on…)
If only I could put similar effort into my university work haha.
