Two minutes of your time... or I can write FREE BEER

So... Andy from CANNES in a VAN here.
I just wanted to add to the ninja Jamie's blog to say a few things. Some of them worthless, some of them worthwhile...

3 blokes. A van. A projector.
An amazing, inspiring, incredible journey. For anyone following Jamie's writings along the way, you'll already know how he's captured every minute in an exquisite and beautiful way. The dude is gifted with words and his analogies hit home, which, to quote the man himself, "is good". For those of you who've only read this tiny paragraph - go back (or forth) and read his blog from the start. It will give you an insight into the man's truly inspiring philosophies on life.

For those of you who are still reading this bit... a few things. I've just finished listening to The Films, a band I've just seen at The Borderline tonight. Their name is The Films - it's a good name and quite fitting for CiaV. Check them out on MySpace, the album's out in June sometime. They had a good live presence.
I'm now listening to Deftones, which is a band Jamie has been banging on about over the whole trip. So I bought it. He did his bit for music PR.

What we'd like to do next with CANNES in a VAN is bring it home to a British audience, starting with London, our physical home. I wanted to say 'spiritual home', but I'm not sure that would be the truth. We want to promote new bands in the most lo-fi way we know - playing stuff from our van. The Films is the first band we're going to play.

At the same time, we'll be playing stuff from a composer/sound designer we met in Cannes. His name is James Tinney.
He's a sound bloke (no pun intended).

Finally, I wanted to say to anyone who cares... It all counts. Every click, every second you give CANNES in a VAN means there's one more person who knows what we're trying to do. That's cool. So click back when you're bored and maybe there'll be something new. Oh... and come and see some films if you've got time. They're really bloody good.

Cheers

Andy
