Student "edition" found at {thoughts dot com slash typed no space out no space loud slash blog}.

Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

Apparently, my aunt has not told my cousin about their dog having died, or at least he might have told them not to tell him until he returned home from boarding during his board exam review.

But she did not tell me. So I told his classmate/my co-teacher, and he sent a condolence text.

That’s how we found out that he didn’t know yet. Well, now he does, but we really are sorry.

@@ I’m glad that the college student council had gotten out of its initial mindset that the integrated school student council has to move their concert from the day before the original schedule of the band fest, just because they set it first, even though there have been no announcements yet about the event.

Besides, we really don’t want these big name performers to have the idea that our organizers don’t know how to honor a contract that has already been signed, and not want to go here in the future.

There are also the advantages of this being the very first such collaboration of its kind, which would be a good precedent for my time in office, which would also mean less work for the personnel.

One of the good things about having a joint ticket is also that we believe there will be more people who will attend their concert but not our band fest than those who would attend the band fest but not the concert. So they are the ones who will be increasing our ticket sales, not the other way around.

They will also be handling the major sponsors, while they left all of the concessionaires to us, except for the possibility of a product lock out if they get one of the cola companies as their biggest sponsor.

Of course, the integrated school student council is allowed one booth to sell their own wares, as well as having a maximum of three bands from their ranks be front acts to the big name bands.

And just because these two big name bands are having another concert in another college at a near date doesn’t mean it’s not a good idea to push through with having them here. There’s still the possibility that a good number of people will only get the word belatedly that the concert was good, and then they’d have a second chance to watch it here. I remember one of my co-teachers doing that for the concert Michael Jackson had here, where he watched both nights.

Poster, ticket and ID designs are also delegated to the college and half of the “welcoming” committee for the bands as well.

Yes, they are still fans first and foremost, just given a very big opportunity they plan to expose to the fullest.

As to having their teachers-slash-prefects have free entrance, that’s something they have to work out themselves.

Session 2509 sees this as a bang and not a whimper or whisper. Class dismissed.
