Thank you

I've pre-written a couple of posts during the 'intense' preparation period for Rap-Art, which is to happen in two days exactly, and I will roll them out as soon as the event is over. Can't afford to put my paranoid and psychotic behaviour out there before, something to do with acting like a leader (or not acting like a leader in my case). But I want to post this one now, for it is of MASSIVE GRATITUDE for all of those who are getting involved on Friday. The visual artist who's come all the way from Paris for this, the boys who will come and rap just for the love and, hopefully, the idea of it all, to Xavier who will be there helping me on the day because I swear I absolutely dread doing it alone.

I decided to not disclose any names here, I have kept them secret on the flyer too because at this point it looks like Rap-Art can for now afford to not be 'just another showcase' (although of course that's a massive part of it) but it can be an actual EXPERIENCE. People come, people look, people listen, people dance (not me). People meet other people.

So that's it, that's all I wanted to say here tonight. I'm off with the artist tomorrow morning to, um, hang up the artworks, and Sofia is on half-term so it's a very tight schedule. I dunno, am I supposed to quickly hammer them onto walls? And calculate where each work goes? As with all the challenges (admittedly), this one seems the biggest yet.

Other than that though, all seems ready. And 'sold out'. Unbelievable.

And again, THANK YOU.
