Take part in a new Barefoot Q&A Video series. If you go barefoot more often than most people you are invited to join in.

A year ago I put together a video Q&A on my Youtube channel featuring a few members of a facebook offshoot of the Society for Barefoot Living.

For those of you who didn't see it or would like to see it again, it's here:

I'm now going to put together another one and this time I'm opening it up to any barefooter willing to join in. It'll be the same format as before - barefooters answering questions to their cameras and recording a bit of video of themselves in a barefoot activity of their choice which I'll edit together once I've received it all.

All you need to do to participate is video yourself answering the questions (try to keep the camera in landscape) and also some footage of you going about any activity you like (however extreme or mundane - as long as it's away from your own home) barefoot. Answer as many or as few as you like and feel free to add anything else you'd like to include.

If you'd prefer to speak in a language other than English that's fine. Just send me a transcript of what you're saying so I can add subtitles. If it's not French or Italian though I may need a bit of help translating it.

Here are the questions:

1) Tell us a bit about how you got into going barefoot, how long you've been doing it, and what you thought of the Q&A from last year.

2) How was the winter where you live? Did you enjoy it and are you looking forward to the summer? If you live in the Southern hemisphere swap summer and winter over.

3)What barefoot activities do you like to do the most?

4)What do you dislike doing barefoot but still do anyway?

5) Can you give an example of any barefoot difficulty you've recently overcome, and how you did it? Either a social or a physical one.

6) Is there something you haven't yet done barefoot that is a manageable short-term target for you?

7) How popular do you feel barefooting is becoming and do you foresee a time where you live when it might be common enough that no-one will be surprised by it any more?

8) Have you had any particularly unusual reactions or witty banter from people you encounter while barefoot?

9) What's your take on the story with Vibrams being found out over their false claims that their shoes are the same as going barefoot?

10) Is there anyone you would say who is an inspiration to you with respect to going barefoot in a society where so few people do.

Once you've recorded all the video footage you can get it to me via wetransfer, dropbox, google drive or any other method you prefer and I'll edit it all together as before.

Every barefooter is welcome to take part, so if you want to prod someone else you know, go ahead. All you need to do to be in it, is record your video and let me know you're doing it. Let's set a soft deadline for  11:59pm (BST) on Friday 4th July

If you don't already know how best to get in touch with me - find me on twitter under the name @saxbend - the same as my youtube channel.

Don't ever book with Eventim.

It is said that there are five stages of grief. There are just two stages of dealing with thieving ticket agents and they're pathetic excuse for customer service, especially if said thieving ticket agent is called Eventim.

The two stages are:

1) Getting very angry
2) Being rather flippant

The background of the whole thing is that I booked some tickets to see Pat Metheny at the Hammersmith Apollo in June. I booked them in March - a month ago. As well as paying for the tickets I paid over £20 in booking and postage fees. Rather excessive I thought but at least it should guarantee good service. Did it bollocks.

The tickets were confirmed as shipped a day or so after I bought them, but a week later I hadn't received them. I got in touch with Eventim who said that it I waited until 5 days before the event they'd arrange for me to collect them on the night. I pointed out how foolish it would be to cut it so fine given that things obviously had already gone wrong once. I asked them to send them out by recorded delivery instead. Failing that they could make them available for immediate collection at the venue and refund their fees.

I got an email back telling me what their policy was as if that was a genuine reason why they couldn't carry out a simple recovery operation for lost tickets as and when circumstances necessitated. So I phoned them up. After speaking to another policy-parroting zombie I was handed to a manager who first attempted to fob me off with the same nonsense about policy and then tried to suggest that it was there to prevent ticket fraud. The best I could get out of her was a promise to contact the venue and ask what they would allow the ticket agents to do.

Then I got this email.

It made me angry, so I sent this reply.

A week later I had calmed down a bit and resigned myself to having tried everything and just thought that I would have to put up with the stress and if the worst came to the worst and the four of us didn't get in I could always take legal action.

But then I got this reply.

What was the point in getting angry again? So I got very flippant. Having been reading a lot of David Thorne's email conversations (highly recommended!) this week possibly had some influence on what I wrote in response.
