Hello my lovelies,
I know it feels like it’s been a long time-it has. During my time away from sfv I moved into my own apartment, left the restaurant industry and changed jobs, and I got married to the best spirit friend I have. So, I haven’t been slacking off, I promise!
At long last sfv…
Go to this.

BOOKS AND DVD's For Sale
A buck a piece for the books and three bucks each for the DVD’s. Or make me an offer on a bunch. I suppose this’ll have to be for Vancouver people only. We’re having a garage sale tomorrow at 360 E. 14th Ave in Vancouver but I wanted to see if I could get some presales on some of these gems:
BOOKS
Non-Fiction
Nietzsche and Postmodernism Edited by Dave Robinson

Step Two.
Step Two.
Okay. First idea hit me while I was in the shower. So I’ve been ruminating on that for the past few days. Now, 2:19 in the morning, I’m lying in bed completely unable to turn my mind off. Normally that sucks, yeah? But I’m not gonna let it.
Here’s where we are: This project could be completely, out of this world great. Since March 25 at around 8 pm, so four...

A Call for Interest.
As some of you may know, I’m pretty heavily involved in the theatre scene in Vancouver. It’s always been my dream to see the different arts sectors of the city combined, in particular, Theatre, Music, and Visual arts. While I was in the shower today (picture me naked) I started to conceive of a project that I think would be pretty amazing:
Numerous local bands from around the city...

Did the Work.
Taught myself how to publish to the Kindle. Cool right? Here’s the author profile I wrote for myself on Amazon.com:
You’re walking home late at night, it’s like 430 am and you’ve maybe had a bit too much to drink and maybe you’re a little over tired and it’s been a long night and you’re listening to the music playing on your headphones and your mind is...
An Unsentimental Farewell.
Oh boy. I’ve spent a lot of time on travelling over the past 4 months. On the road for hours. Spitballing. Killing time best I could. It’s not so bad in the van. You got leg room, sort of. You’ve got the road spilling past you on the sides. You’ve got space. Room in front of you and room to the sides and windows with things to look at that change and evolve. You can reach...

We're Goin' Sailin'!
We’re leaving Newfoundland now on a boat that takes six hours on its best days. It’s the shakiest, quakiest, rollingest boat I’ve ever been on. I’m sitting in what is called the theatre, an open space with seats and two regular-sized big-screen TV’s. There’s an arcade just north of me, which is about the saddest thing on the boat. There aren’t any...

Newfoundland.
I’d been so obsessively busy with my trifling little movie project that I’d not written an honest blog entry in nearly a month. Our trip on the road this time was really only about a month and a half, when you factored out the nearly two weeks we spent in Winnipeg. It’s hard for me to blog when I’m standing still in one place.
We’ve been on the road in Newfoundland...

Macky Awards: Top 30 films of the year.
There’s a big difference between a list that purports to be the 10 or 15 or 20 ‘best’ films of the year and the 10 or 15 or 20 ‘favorite’ films of the year. ‘Best’ needs to be objective. The ‘best’ films of the year need to do the greatest job of achieving the goals they set out to accomplish with their film. Their themes need to be clearly...

The 1st Annual Macky Awards.
I’d like to welcome you all to the 1st annual Macky Awards. Over the past twelve months, and in particular the last month and a half (I’ve been on tour in Atlantic Canada), I’ve done my best to see as many of the films from 2010 as possible. I couldn’t see them all and wanted to post this before the Oscars on Sunday. Here’s a short list of the films I wish I...

Catching Up
So at the Beginning of January all my friends started posting their ‘top 10’ (or more) lists for their favorite movies of 2010. I wanted to get involved too but my ‘I’ve seen’ list for 2010 looked like this:
Macgruber
Alice In Wonderland
Eat Pray Love
Shutter Island
The Other Guys
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
Piranha 3-D
Predators

He never just has blue eyes and brown hair.
Sometimes when you’re watching a movie that is an adaptation of a book, and you see one of the characters you’ve read extensively, pictured in your mind, and the actor’s face just doesn’t fit with the portrait you’d painted you spit at the ground and wonder why they ever let some two-bit director take on your favorite novel as a project. That doesn’t really...

On The Cold
It’s February first in Ontario, around the big lake, and it’s still the depths of winter. There are frozen lakes and chopped off thin-bare-trees-like-bones surrounding us. When it’s this cold and the doors to the van are opened and the engine is off and the heat is non-existent, we’re hardly people anymore. We’re bundles of idiosyncratic nerves, mumbling to...

Remembering Why We Do This.
Back out on the road now with Wired, second leg of the tour, Atlantic Canada version. We flew into Winnipeg on the 16th and remain here until the 27th, so the road portion of the trip hasn’t started yet.
Allow me to speak candidly as a performer of TYA for a second.
Often, in this business, you get into a nose to the grindstone kind of mindset. Our time in each town we’re in, our...
