New Appointment

I’ve got myself another interview for this coming Wednesday with Labour Councillor Angus Mulready Jones. I’ll be able to kill two birds with one stone as I had already planned to head over to Hackney Town Hall on Wednesday to deliver some questionnaires. This guy sounds very keen on the concept of my dissertation so hopefully I will also have a new ally in trying to get as much participation as possible. You never know, within a few weeks some clear patterns on what politicians in Hackney think about the potential of new media in tackling apathy among young voters might emerge.

On to completely different matters, I noticed today that one of my favourite teenage haunts has closed down. 15 years ago I used to practically live at Steve’s Sounds on Newport Court near Leicester Square. I was amazed when we cam back in September to see it was still open. No longer it seems. I suppose everyone’s downloading stuff now and there’s no need to go to a shop to buy music. The joys of progress!!
