For those who don't know what it is, The Great Escape is a big music festival based around the city of Brighton. When I first moved to this city, the festival was pretty big. Now it's very big. I'm not saying there's any kind of causal relationship here, but watch the graph happen:
As you can clearly see, there is at least a medium-strong correlation between my arrival (and the subsequent formation of Phoria) and the current popularity of the The Great Escape festival as measured in the Scottish standard TB scale. Again I emphasise, there may not be any causal relationship. I think the very existence of the graph speaks volumes.
We'll be out there tonight at this event, slightly off the beaten track, checking out Wolf Alice and Mt Wolf in particular, both of whom I know I'm currently enjoying. We won't be playing this year, alas, due in part to Trewin's continuing struggle with Lord Hoarse.
On the subject of illness, the Red video has been put in the can, and is enjoying great popularity across the blogs, etc. Thanks to everyone who shares their views on it. It's lovely to have such a nice set of people commenting so positively. We really appreciate the support and all the sharing you guys are doing. Hurray! It's here!:
Lovely. Thank Jeb, Trewin, and Thom Novi at Novi films.
The band are getting together this afternoon, too, to work on more new material. We're going to try and get this new stuff out as soon as we can. I know Jeb's got some mighty fine visual treats for everyone aswell. He's had his sip of tea. Now it's back to work.
What an exciting and productive day we'll all have! Eh? Yeah! Give yourself a big hand. Start your day the right way!

As always, there's so much on the way. We've locked Seryn in a basement with no chairs and only bid-up.tv on the television until the t-shirts have all been finished. I've also seen what look like a bunch of Phoria warfare frisbees - little silver discs of one sort or another. Next we just need the Ed Sanderson action figure (following our market research, it was found that 73.9% of both genders aged 14-98 found his appearance 'fascinating, compelling and/or worth £15.99') and then we'll have an action figure, some frisbees, and some t-shirts. That's just all of the previously listed items put more concisely. You shouldn't need that. It kind of takes the rhythm out of the end of that sentence.
Have a lovely day, whomever you do.
Tim
