well, things are starting to slow down at eFestivals now - there's finally time to breathe - as most of the announcements about festivals for this year have been made, so there's not so much in the way of news and updates each day.

But even with the extra resources that eFestivals now has there's still lots and lots to do, with the chance (finally!) to catch up on some of the things that have been put to the side - sometimes for several years - because there's just not been enough hours in the day/week/year.

In a month I'll lose my current temporary assistant, and I guess I need to start to think about finding a replacement, and what sort of replacement - with what skills - is going to best suit eFestivals & eGigs future needs. I'm starting to think that alongside writing and organisational skills, an assistant would be most use if they were also able to program in PHP and had an understanding of databases, so that some of this can be taken off my plate (as I still don't have time to get it all done). If you happen to know someone who might suit and be interested, and they can work in Bristol, get them to get in touch!
