THANK YOU!!

Thank you everyone .. what an amazing night!!! I feel truly lucky... everyone who worked on the show, and everyone who attended was full of love and good energy... and we filled the Rivoli!!! truly the best CD Release Party EVER!!!!

so....excited... can't...sleep

omg. 11 hours... :) see you there!

one day left!

The big day is tomorrow and I'm pretty much, almost, done everything I had to do to get ready. I'm super excited... now it's just one last band rehearsal today, an interview, and a few smaller errands. Whenever I've started to feel stressed out or overworked, I've been resorted to bouts of Wii Tennis - I try to play equal amounts left-handed, so as not to completely tired out my right arm! Need to be able to play that piano...

Rehearsal Photos

video-taper

if you're video-minded and would be interested in running the minidv cam at the cd release party on saturday, email me! otherwise it's just going up on a tripod at the soundboard...which can be cool too. :)

t-shirts, rehearsals, and tours, oh my

had a great band rehearsal this weekend and now we're into the home stretch, with just over 10 days left and a slew of rehearsals and other cd release preparations to go.

Last week was a heavy one... I was finalizing the designs for "Meeting The Future At Full Speed" T-Shirts and sending in the final order to get them made up... I'm happy to report that I should have them in time for the release party! It's been a long time since i made t-shirts... very excited! I'm also working on tour plans for the spring... as it stands now, something is in the works involving a '91 buick station wagon, 3 squished singer-songwriters and a merch guy, and western canada (finally!). :)

ps: i have a new favorite site to check each day: The Best Article Every Day. This page rocks... it's consistently interesting! :)

A favorite photo blog

when i'm unwinding with my laptop there are a few sites i like to check for interesting sights/reads... one of my long-time faves is Daily Dose of Imagery, a photo blog by a really talented toronto-based photographer - i think he has with a unique way of seeing the world. A different photo every day, usually taken from somewhere in Toronto. I especially love the days when there's a shot from my own neighborhood, as there's always an initial moment of recognition, then a second look as I see the scene through someone else's eyes.

sun and health

toronto keeps getting pounded with snow! what a good time to be home with the flu. :) today it's sunny again and the city is digging out, and i'm feeling a fair bit better as well so i may venture outside to breathe some fresh air. sun is nice but i'm getting tired of snow... can't wait for spring!

way too much tv

i've been out of commission with the flu the last couple of days. finally tonight i think i might be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel - my fever has broken, hopefully not to return this time. i can't really remember the last time i had a flu like this! i feel almost like a little kid again... eating chicken soup and popsicles (which really help the fever!)... and i've watched so much tv; i've probably seen about 30 episodes of 'Friends'.

well, while i didn't end up seeing any of the new movies i wanted to see this weekend, i did see a movie that surprised me... it was a moving flick, cursed with probably the worst name ever... so much so that I almost didn't watch it - in fact, it had been rented (not by me!) over a week ago yet continued to sit on the shelf because we were so turned off by the name: "Feast of Love" (!!!). yes even as I type this, i still can't believe anyone named their movie that. However, 5 minutes into the movie we were totally into it and ended up crying a couple times because it was really emotional... over all, a pleasant surprise. So if you're curious, check out Feast Of Love.

Had an awesome rehearsal this weekend with the new band! :) We're getting excited for the cd release party... can't wait for you all to hear us!
