Thursday was my first day of work. I didn't have to get there until about 12:30, though, so I got to sleep in. I got all dressed up in a nice shirt, khakis, and nice shoes. I got there, and the guy was dressed in black pants, shoes, and t-shirt. So I guess I can dress down. Excellent. The place is just a small office above a jewelry store on Hanway Street just off Oxford Street. It's small, with only a couple people working there. Paul, my supervisor, seems like a nice guy. Same with the other women who I met, Claudia. We talked for a while about the different things the company does, especially promoting artists on their label. They used to farm out a lot of their promotion, but now do it themselves mostly. They gave me some CDs to listen to over the weekend, and I'm starting for real Monday morning. Well, not exactly morning. I go in around noon and stay until the evening. That's the music business for you.


I got back home within a couple hours, so I called up Nicole. She didn't have to go in on Thursday, so we met up at the Tate Modern by the river and saw most of the museum. Gareth met up with us somewhere along the way, along with a few people from some college in Virginia. We got out of the museum and walked along the river.





We saw some sweet stuff - like a whole area covered in graffiti that's a spot for skating and BMXing. It was cool. We also saw a giant couch and armchair made of fake turf. Not sure what the deal with that was exactly...








We then made it to the London Eye and took the "flight" for too much money. Worth it, though. The view was awesome.











After that, my camera ran out of batteries. We went to see an amazing Berklee band, the Young Republic, at the club owned by the company I am working for. Their set was short but really great and high-energy. Awesome. Best of all, I got in free because I work there! Okay, I'm about to run out of internet minutes for the week, but they get reset tomorrow, so I'll have more tomorrow.
