"The Councillor’s error – or rather that of his speech writer – was political not factual. His problem was that throughout the backslapping, trumpet blowing, Creative Industry eulogising event a vast elephant was wandering into the room with a nude Emperor on his back. By name-checking Stan’s Cafe he gave me permission to stand up and ask the obvious unasked question: “Thank you for the name check, please could you explain why, if you value us so highly, are you cutting our £10,000 revenue funding by 100%?” After thanking me for the question (cue laughter), the Councillor explained how superfast broadband was going to help us out. To be honest I didn’t follow his logic but that was probably me being slow. Fortunately Councillor Mullaney came to my aid, gamely explaining how things were much better for us all than they had been before our funding got wiped out. Now it all made sense."

"It’s just such a shame that, as with so many things in Birmingham, it’s apparently impossible for one person to say “this is my idea and I’m going to own it”. A good idea needs an owner not a committee, and that person should be able to express the magnitude of their idea so that others buy into it. Whilst the people speaking all seemed to be in some way ‘partners’, there’s nobody emotionally attached to this concept, and I’m afraid that it’s going to be a damp squib."

"I realised that over this time I had become increasingly tired and jaded by the various attempts to actually do things around this idea, really dodgy festivals, publicly funded events that were plain embarassing, funding decisions that seemed mental, fed up about things that I cared about closing or mysteriously burning down, getting really shit advice from the various unqualified expert advisers I was introduced to, loads of talented folk reaching a certain level and then leaving, people just about managing to get cool stuff off the ground but being hampered rather than helped, weird planning decisions, scheme after scheme aimed at this ‘sector’ as if a theatre and a software company have things in common. Of course there was all of the good stuff, but these things got pretty tiring and I realised that I just wanted to go and do a proper startup and stop messing around."
