Can’t turn out the light

Click here to read I’m a Good Story and click here to listen to the People’s Program Project.

I landed in Toronto about two hours ago and I’m feeling all unsettled and uneasy so I thought I’d update this here blog with some recent snaps.

Wee Kitty, she of incredible, good vibes.

Whenever I run into Cam Macleod, it’s like a burst of sunshine. Oh wait.

Dutchie in a fur hat.

Aw, my staple friend Rachel was in Vancouver for, like, two days and sweetly made some time for me and a seawall walk.

Dutchie copying Ken’s style (not the non-stop work part.)

I was training Dutchie in the crate all week to prepare for our big trip today. She was SUCH a trooper, flying all by herself in the belly of the plane. We made it!

Spring I

Spring II

Went to the Devon Clifford memorial show at the Biltmore. Only stayed for a few songs by the first band, Chains of Love. Fun stuff. The highlight, however, was the bake sale. Three items for $5. I thoroughly enjoyed me some maple tarts and peanut butter cookies. That shit was unreal.

And a paintball heart.

Gonna go to bed. Hopefully this weird feeling of displacement will be gone and done by tomorrow morning.

Night at the Museum, minus Ben Stiller

We did it! A night at MOV with Conor Holler was a huge success! And it our very first one! I must admit, the whole thing didn’t feel like work because it was so much fun. I didn’t feel stressed or nothing. Everything seemed to just flow. So here are some behind the scene shots of that very special night, and some taken by side stage…

The host and the man with the plan.

Jordan cutting Conor’s pants (part of a gag. I won’t give it away. Too bad if you missed it.)

The three C’s…Curtis, our tech guy, Cam our booze/crowd warmer upper/sex guy, and Charlie, our guest.

Barman Colin brought too much ice so they dumped it in the fountain.

Whaa? (Those pants Cam’s wearing are cashmere, btw.)

Craig, a fine and funny young man.

It’s all good. The crowd! That’s Conor’s stunning family in the second row.

B.K saying a few words.

Sex guy warming up the crowd with his charming ways.

The man of the hour! (Well close to two hours.)

Cohorts.

His lady drew that. Then someone drew a penis pointing at it. Then his mum drew over the penis.

The guests…Charlie and Grant.

New crush Dan Mangan. He’s really got a Seth Rogen thing going on. And such a lovely way about him.

So many balls.

Me and Amanda, the awesome director of the MOV. I love this sign.

A talk show isn’t as glamorous as it may seem. The stage hands were also the show’s writers and host.

It was a four-man couch carry. Heavy shit.

Anyhow, the night was recorded. Not sure where it will be screened but I’ll be sure to keep you posted. Better yet, why not make it to the next one? The museum is a fun place to party…

Episode 20 – The Rape Whistle Fan Club Experience!

Click here and or here to listen to Episode 20 of the People’s Program Project.

Ayma and Elly here. We decided to trepidatiously launch our new project, which might be sketch comedy related. Comedy. What a word.

It’s called Rape Whistle Fan Club and it’s basically us doing a variety of stuff that makes us laugh and hopefully you too.

On this episode we debut the Scat Explosion, a talk show entirely inspired by Randy Bachman’s CBC program Vinyl Tap. (Please click on that link. It’s amazing.)

Thanks to our rowdy but enthusiastic studio audience, Karen Pinchin, Ben Frey and Cam MacLeod.

We’re hoping to get on a bill for our live performance debut some time soon. We’ll keep you posted via the Facebook fan page we’ll inevitably create and force our friends to join.

Episode 18 – The Rain City Chronicles Experience

Click here to listen to episode 18 of the People’s Program Project.

One of the things I’ve been working hard on recently is a storytelling night called Rain City Chronicles. We had our first event on December 1st at Little Mountain Studios. It was a great success. We’ve got nothing but really positive feedback and it seems like the city is ready for this kind of thing. We plan on doing it every season so the next one should be in March. This special episode of P3 features stories by CBC Radio 3‘s Grant Lawrence, who talked about his first experience with a pacific octopus…

Rain City Chronicles co-organizer and freelancer writer Karen Pinchin, who talked about her first time getting in a car with a stranger…
