Days like these

Holiday weekends have a habit of expanding their influence.
I'm still writing emails following up ValeFest's VIP Reception of a week ago, discussing the agenda for forthcoming committee meetings, contributing to legal and insurance queries, responding to performers, venue hosts, volunteers about updating the ValeFest website, queries about our new online shop (will it or won't it be available this week?) sorting out website bandwidth enquiries and establishing audio and video hosting options, arranging grant application meetings and the million other things that are necessary to maintain the ValeFest organisation.
And of course the computer crashed this morning, bringing everything to a sudden full stop.
Then there's the business of growing the organisation, sorting ValeFest's input to the various events we've been asked to assist over coming months, like the CLA Game Fair, and the not inconsiderable matter of organising our own, new, events this summer and beyond.
So what with communicating with all the various interested parties, potential sponsors and the media, not to mention the extraneous queries that pitch up over the course of each 24 hours, and 5,500 messages in my inbox (I keep meaning to sort them, honest) there's quite a bit to do.
Which is wonderful, and it's great that ValeFest is becoming known and is developing a following, and that lots of different people and organisations want to be involved, and I adore talking to musicians and hearing their enthusiasm for the project, but on days like today, with a to-do list expanding into another time zone, I wish there were more hours in the day.
Oh, but I do LOVE it!
