Hello old friend, how are you? I know it's been a while since we last spoke, but the summer break just gone has been one of epic proportions, adventurous ventures and exciting new projects that enabled me to gain a whole new outlook and a fresh leaf of industry experience.
I do apologise for abandoning you during these sunny summer months, but you see, the law of life presented several too-good-to-pass-up opportunities!
October last year saw the beginnings of the foundations of a professional career in the media. I started reviewing and contributing to www.barsandnightclubs.com.au - a website dedicated to providing opinions, reviews and information on, you guessed it, bars, nightclubs and the odd pub or two, across Australia.
It's been incredibly exciting to see my work published, read and praised! The beauty of barsandnightclubs.com.au is not only the fact that I can write in any style, attitude or opinion, but for once I actually have a reason to go out, get loose on the town and down a few delicious and delectable drops, all in the name of work experience and career climbing!
I've also been kept very busy with Melbourne's annual Midsumma Festival. After craving some direction during the lengthy break, I went in search of internships and volunteer work in the local media. This led me to producing the festival's promotional radio show, Tasting Midsumma on JOY94.9FM, amongst other little bits and pieces at Midsumma office headquarters.
The experience was fantastic - I was very fortunate to meet some very talented, and very lovely people, and was exposed to a whole new direction, journalistically.
I have a piece coming up shortly about my experience there, so I won't bang on about it, but needless to say, I am very excited for 2011 and the avenues that I may potentially go down.
So please forgive my laziness, lack of motivation and busy-ness.
Love, Lana x
P.S - In the meantime, have a read and a listen of what summer '10/'11 consisted of:
Review for Rochester Castle Hotel
Review for Naked For Satan
Review for Rust Cocktail Lounge (Scroll down!)
Review for A Bar Called Barry
Voiceovers and Radio interviews for 2011 Midsumma Festival and JOY94.9FM
