Come What May

The above photo is dedicated to that fine, young man I met on Friday. That’s about all the effort I’ve got.
Here’s a bunch of photos and attempts of witty commentary of some decent to good times that have been inspiring me lately…
I went to the wiener dog races for the second year in a row…
…with these two fine looking cats…
…wiener, wiener, wiener…
…wiener, wiener, wiener…
…WIENERS!
I hope when I grow up, I turn into this lady.
I spent a lovely afternoon somewhat recently with my two lovely friends and a lovely spread, courtesy of Olivia Mowatt, rad mom extrodinaire.
Did you know that Louise Burns is a major babe? Here’s proof.
Olivia levitated for a bit.
Group shot, which consists of 80% ME!
Ayma and I were in LA…
…where lots of interesting things happened…
…Matt loves me…can’t you tell?…
…I was trying to make this shot kind of like an upskirt…
Matt threw us a party, that mostly consisted of the Amazing Alphabet People’s Coalition and friends…
…and Nathan (and his roommate Levi, not pictured.)
It turned into a dance party, naturally.
The next night we got to see my friends Wolf Parade perform. I’d never seen them live so it was a real treat. It was the final show of their North American tour. 
It had been a long, long time since I was last backstage at a show. How times have changed.
Hi Ayma! Just how big was it?
Speaking of Ayma…I love her. Can’t wait to do more writing. Look out world. Here we come!
I came home to my best friend Chris, who’s staying with me. He leaves me reminders of this fact throughout my apartment.
I think that’s about it. Well, it’s not, my life is waaaay more interesting than a blog entry but that’s all I got for now. I’ll leave you with a video I’m really feeling. I love the story, the costumers, the set design and her boobs.

Episode 15 – The Nathan Fielder Experience
To listen to episode 15, click here.
When I was in university, I wanted to write for television. I imagined being the next David E. Kelly. I had this idea to create a series about ordinary people, like Sri Lankan dishwashers and gawky substitute teachers. Unfortunately UVic’s writing program didn’t focus on that style of writing so I gave up on that dream. (I write the news for City TV on occassion, but it’s totally different.) So it was real neat to meet Nathan Fielder. The Vancouver-born comedian has been writing for TV since he was 23. (He’s now 26.) He currently lives in LA where he writes for Important Things with Demetri Martin.
I also share an anecdote about a weird chain of restaurants here and their unavoidable hostesses.
I had some technical problems with my audio, which is why my intro sounds like I’m in an echo chamber but I kind of like it.
Also on this episode, I got my writing partner Ayma Letang to sit in and help me find my voice. Here’s a picture of her and her beautiful cheekbones.
Next episode will be devoted entirely to Paul Anthony, everyone’s favourite man about town. Until then, check back here for news. There’s some coming on the way. And check out the Links to Click section, cause they are all worth clicking. Today I added my dear friend Sarah Steinberg’s blog, which is one of my most favourite blogs ever. She’s real funny and smart and stylish.

Point Break
A few announcements.
First off, I did a really interesting interview with Nathan Fielder. You might recognize him from the times you went to your parents house and they were watching This Hour Has 22 Minutes. Well, he’s in LA now, where he was hired to write for Important Things with Demetri Martin. I’m going to work on editing in the next few days and hope to have something out soon-ish.
Other upcoming episodes include the lovely and talented Lisa Joyce, Paul Anthony and Andy Dixon, who turns 30 tomorrow.
Also, my arm candy is co-hosting a show tomorrow (August 25) at the Biltmore. It’s called Arrogance and it’s co-hosted by Dave Shumka of Stop Podcasting Yourself (of which I’m a big fan.) It pits improvisers against comedians in the ultimate showdown. Here’s the flyer.
Finally, Lightning Dust has a new album out. They’re the beautiful little band who let me use their song “Wind Me Up” as the theme for my podcast. Anyhow, their new album is called Infinite Light and it’s delightful. They’re playing the Biltmore on Thursday here in Vancouver so be sure to come down if you’re in town.
