the day before the 22nd.
2mrw April the 22nd is going to be a busy day for inRecords !
Vincent is going to meet Trey from First Monday, then meet Robin from muzyQ with Kelly and Yana.
We all just hope that we can finally decide on a definite theme for the event in June.
Ater that some of us are going to attend the 22tracks.nl meeting at MINIbar in Amsterdam. I am really curious what it is like and if we get a chance to network properly.
Speaking of networking, we had quite an interesting masterclass from the founder of Tribe of Noise on Tuesday and we would really love them to be present at our event.
At last I'd like to add some pics from last week's nachos evening at Kelly's :D
q.u.y.n.h ;)

Quick update
A lot of work to do, but a lot of work done!
We got a call today that lifted our spirits a little (we'll keep this one to ourselves for now :P) but also set in a little bit of panic as we need to be completely sorted out by Monday to pull this off. *crosses fingers*
Thursday is fast approaching, which means so is our follow-up meeting with muzyQ! We have a loaded week ahead, but with all 6 of us working full steam ahead we will be fine :)
All in all this is the industry we WANT to be in, and any aspect we can have some hands on experience in is an asset to us. Personally, event production is where I think I would like to end up so doing something that involves a bit of everything, without compromising the quality level, is great!
We have a good team, and seem to enjoy working together...for the most part :P We have our down moments when the stress of everything really starts to affect us a little, but luckily we all seem to look out for each other. For example, today when morale was a bit low David silently decided we needed some cheering up so off he went to Albert Heijn, and bought everyone in our group a Kinder Surprise egg!!!
Thanks for the boost, David!

After that randomness...
Someday last week, MEM students came across to our glass house to invite us to an ‘outing’ they had planned for Friday – a trip to the Eurocam Media Centre in Antwerp where we would get a tour and be part of the studio audience for a gameshow “TROS Stedenspel.” Only 2 people were available for a full Friday– myself and Robyn.
Friday morning came along and at 8.30 sharp the group,which consisted of about 33 MEM students and us 2 IMM students., was on the bus ready to go! It took about 2 and a half hours to get to Antwerp, but the bus trip itself was fairly entertaining - Chupa-Chups were handed out, the radio was turned on and good old 90’s songs were sung! As we approached Eurocam the bus driver seemed to be a bit disorientated and went around the circle 3 times…it gave us an opportunity to take in the surroundings a bit more :P Eventually we got to a point where the bus could not go any further, so we all hopped out and walked to the venue – a mere 5 minutes away.
The venue is huge. It houses Nickelodeon and MTV Networks amongst others. The tour was interesting, and began with a short video introduction to the types of projects that they have worked on, all of which were on a huge scale e.g. filming & broadcasting the Winter Olympic Games. We got to see a few studios in their raw state as well as a studio set up with green screens and even the storage area for all the cables, filming vans/busses etc. They had a LOT of cables! The tour lasted about an hour, then we had lunch – it was just hanging around time until the recording began.
After some seating issues (I think the main problem was there wasn’t enough audience so they wanted t place people in such a way that it would look like there were more people :/ ) we all settled into our “seats”- where we would be for the next 5 hours! As a foreigner I knew nothing about this game show, but I can now speak about it with some knowledge: it is a game show where 2 teams – each episode one from the Netherlands and one from Belgium – compete in random tasks and activities in/on/around/ water. The word ‘random’ was definitely overused that day but it was completely appropriate.
We ended around 6, so I said goodbye to the group heading back to the bus and met my dad, who lives in Belgium (free trip to Belgium = yay!) :D
But now it’s Monday so it’s back to Rookie time! Today a lot of brainstorming was done with regards to the name of the event, the kind of image we think it should have and the overall concept. After a lot of back and forth we finally have a confirmed date and can really get the ball rolling. We now have a name, a theme and have started finalizing the proposal we will give to our ‘client’, with whom we meet on Thursday. We have a lot of work to do, but we are confident we will achieve what we want, to the standards we have set in the time given.
We have a lot of ‘events’ planned this week. Our week (and weekend) looks like this:
Thursday: meeting with FM
muzyQ meeting
22 Tracks meet-up
Friday: Soundcloud meet-up
Saturday & Sunday: Music Hack Day
Awesomeness,
Kelly Noble ;)
