Last Nights Doo.

Last night was the launch of the DVD and website. I was up in the 'technical' box pushing the buttons along with the resident media guy Allen. As always with any event something has to go wrong. In this case the sound cable that had been plugged into the camera, providing us with video content, was a mono lead - in a stereo output. This meant that only one sound channel was being broadcast which lead to the very high music and the very low speech. An apology to David Hood, Aidan Wray, and Laura Middleton who had less than perfect sound quality. Once the full extent of this was realised the interval was hosted early whilst the media man jumped into action and corrected it. From then on it went swimmingly.

It was great to see people collecting their awards and how well they looked compared to how they were on their video. It really goes to show that when you have chemotherapy it's not just your hair that falls out, you also look completely drained of energy and colour.

There were also people there that are still having their treatment (myself included) and I wish them all the best of luck. It was inspiring to see people who have made it through their treatment and come out at the other side looking so well. It gives you hope.
