Seetickets - What a con, the fraudulent b*stards

Seetickets. What a joke!



Friday - 1 Week before festival my friend starts questioning why I haven't received my ticket as she got hers a week before.


Saturday - Recieve email promising it would arrive by 1 p.m. on tuesday


Tuesday - Didn't arrive. Rung them up, didn't explain what was going on and said I would have to pick the tickets up from Crash records. Explained I live in Liverpool and Crash Records is in Leeds. See said I was coming to Leeds anyway. I said it was 12 miles away from site. See hung up on me.


Rung back. Machine that replays message.


Rung Crash Records. Man seemed very stressed and a little annoyed. Could tell he had many other callers. However was very polite and said he didn't know anything but the tickets weren't arriving until wednesday.


Waited for ages as I didn't actually have a confirmation to tell me to go to Crash Records.


Finally received a confirmation email telling me to go to Crash Records.


10 minutes later received another email telling me that the ticket would be sent by special delivery and would arrive by 1 pm on wednesday.


Wednesday - 1 pm arrived. No ticket. Tried ringing See up. On hold for 30 minutes. Didn't get through. Tried again. No luck. Emailed them. They sent an email about 2 lines long with no apology saying my ticket was indeed at Crash.

Thursday - Leave at 5 AM. Dread to think what the queue will be like at Crash Records.

SeeTickets - What a joke!

Well it is tuesday today.  I go to Leeds festival on thursday morning but as of now I have no tickets.  I received an email on saturday from See Tickets saying that they were going to send them by special delivery and they would arrive by 1 pm today.  The post has been and gone and there were no tickets.   I rung them up and was on hold for ages, got through to someone who told me I would have to pick them up from Crash Records in Leeds which is a 30 minute drive from the festival park.  When I started to complain, they told me to hold and hung up.
I haven't even had a confirmation email from See telling me to go to Crash.  Also I am getting the train at 6:15 on thursday morning, and getting into Leeds at 8:10.  Crash doesn't open until 9:30 and god knows how many people are going to be there.  I may have to give my tent to my friend and follow her down once I get my ticket.
See ticket or Seetickets, whatever, are just shit!

Bodyjam - Good or bad?

I didn't get up until 11:30 today.  It was partly my sisters fault! She said she was going to make me breakfast in bed.  I have no idea why.  But I waited for ages and she came an said she had been in her friends and we haven't got any bread anyway.  I should have just gotten up!
But I went the gym for 2 hours today.  I went to a bodyjam class which is a 'dance' class that is a brand.  I wasn't sure what it was all about at first and whether they are trained in a style, have specific moves or use the music.  I went last week and the teacher wasn't there so it was more of a free class.  Anyway on the British Les Mills website http://www.fitpro.com/bts/latest_release.cfm?title_id=312&program=BODYJAM it showed different bodyjam classes and I found the one that played the music I danced to.   It was called bodyjam 46.  I searched for this and found the exact same routine here http://v.ku6.com/show/mgY9AN_Dn3HbHTVL.html
I am not sure whether this is a good or a bad thing.  I would have thought the Les Mills training would train you in the style not just teach you how to teach the class! It is basically learning an exercise video and then reproducing it to a class.  I know in my dance class the teachers go on courses to learn the exam class material but that is totally different, it is a dance class first, and we learn the exam routine on the side.
By learning these Les Mills routines means the instructor has no freedom and can't adapt to the classes needs.  The instructor on the video from v.ku6.com said some of the moves may take a couple of weeks to master, but what happens after that?  Are the instructors forced to buy the new release from the series???
I just don't think it is very productive of effective!!!!

Bridge

A picture I drew of a bridge

Finally, the videos are working!

Well I have been going the gym still.  I went nearly every day, then I had a week off :s oops.  But I quite like it.  I went to a spinning class and I nearly died aaah.
I have also been stretching quite a lot recently and I think I have gotten a bit more flexible.
Oooh, my new tap teacher in dancing used to be my teacher from my old school, which is nice :)

Good morning that's a nice tnetennba!

I joined the gym yesterday finally.  I have been a lazy bum for too long. 
I did 100 things on the inner thigh machine and my legs are a bit sore today :(
But I liked the gym anyway and I am going to go again today!

My arches

A short video of my arches. I think I have quite flat feet, but my point has improved loads since I started ballet. I have a theraband, but it doesn't seem to do much. I find doing changements makes my feet work much more! I need to practice more!
