Alright, still homeless. But… I have a job! I am [unofficially as the paperwork isn’t take care of yet but will be soon] employed!
I’ve been chatting for a while now with a guy named Alex Will who is the cofounder of a site called Spoonfed and playing around with the idea of me working with them and today we basically decided on it! They seem like such fun. It’s a small internet startup created by these two LSE students while they were in school. It gives London citizens the chance to view all upcoming events in tons of different genres, and get customized event suggestions based on their interests. So… all of you people who thought I had gotten out of the event planning side of things, I just can’t escape!
I’m going to be doing marketing and PR for them and I’m basically the only person working on that full time (it’s a really small group, and Alex and his cofounder do a lot of it, but they need to deal with the business development side as well and the financial and executive stuff. The rest of the group is mainly editorial staff to write the event articles). Because I’m really working on it myself, I’ve got a ton of freedom to try out tons of different methods and since they’re small, any sort of work could be helpful. It’ll be a fantastic learning experience and I hope I can be a valuable asset to them! It seems like such a fun group.
Alright, it’s really time to find a place to live now.
