"Holy Christ!"

Ok, this won't mean much to anyone but me but I've just had one of those moments where you think "OH MY GOD!"

On another web-board I populate, there's a guy I've spoken to on-and-off for over 2 years.
He asked about how my band was going and offered to do some photos for us, being a photographer.
So he emails me and sends me a link to his portfolio so I can have a peek at it.

Unbelievable.
This guy has shot some heavyweights, and he's offering to do stuff for us for free.
Examples of people he has taken photos of:

Directors:
Danny Boyle
Mike Leigh
Derek Jarmen

Authors:
James Ellroy
William Gibson
Nick Hornby
Irwing Welsh
Joseph Heller (This man wrote Catch-22 for chrissakes!!!)
Martin Amis

Actors:
Michael Palin
Richard Wilson
Stephen Fry

Politicians:
Tony Benn
Tony Parsons
Alan Clark

But most importantly for me, the thing that made me squeal like a little girl?
Portrait photos of Bill Hicks.

3 pics of Bill Hicks in a dressing room somewhere.
My absolute, all-time hero. A guy that forms a large part of who I am today as a person, and some guy I talk to on the net took portrait photos of him and is offering to take photos of my band.

Karma/Fate/Coincidence...call it what you will.
To me these are all signs that I am doing what I was made for, and connections all tie in.

Fantastic and superb. I can't explain how stupidly happy I am right now.

Congratulations mate. If you get hold of a copy of the photos will you post them up on the web for all to see?

Sounds like a lucky person to know, hope everything goes well for you and your band.

I'm guessing Kidd Rock

Fate rules.

I'm guessin, the lonely shepard.

We've had an email from manager but I don't know what it said yet.
Screw him if he's going to walk away, his loss.

We own.
