The summer is pretty much upon us so it&#8217;s getting ridiculously warm. My day job is winding down as we come to the end of a 6 week concert series we&#8217;ve been holding at our space promoting original Dubai-based musicians. i am super stoked that Rasha is staying on to do summer courses this year which means she won&#8217;t be jetting off to Saudi for another 6 weeks YAY. I also started playing Indigo Prophecy (or Fahrenheit for our European readers!) last night for the first time on the strength of the Heavy Rain hands-on i had at E3. I&#8217;m not far in but am definitely enjoying how different it is, although the controls on PC are a little annoying. also, more of you should get on twitter, seriously.<\/p>\n<p>i shall end with some photos from my recent trip:<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_548\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-548\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-548\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thefatwebsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/img00088-20090601-1330-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"img00088-20090601-1330\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.thefatwebsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/img00088-20090601-1330-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.thefatwebsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/img00088-20090601-1330-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.thefatwebsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/img00088-20090601-1330.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-548\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Press Badge yo<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_546\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-546\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-546\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thefatwebsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/img00064-20090531-2225-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"E3 Middle East Crew -
