Home away from Home

Back in Vancouver

Up north Graphicsmnan is rocking a some sweet new styles.

Down South I'm waiting for some ITA stuff for Carpentry, and learning how to rock this fancy midi keyboard I rented from Long&McQuade.

Parties!

This past Saturday some amazing people put on an amazing party at Prospect Point in Stanley Park.

I've got some photos of the event up on Flickr.

Another great party - The Work Less Party held a cool book-launch last night for Conrad's new self-published book Workers of the World Relax.

Conrad and the good people at Work Less always put on a good show, and last night was no exception.

I also ran into some of the fine people from 2010 watch, fresh from filming the arrests up at Eagleridge Bluffs. They've got some intense footage, and some strong arguments against staging the olympics.

The North-Island

I had an amazing weekend up in the Broughton Archipelago. We flew around in a Cessna amphibian, stayed at Pierre's Bay, and visited Sointula.

I now have a great sunburn on my face, and I'm even more sure that North=better.

Work

I just got employed!

ATV productions has decided I'm worth employing as an editor. It's a cool gig. I'm working on a new show of theirs that I won't tell you about until it airs.

Other than that, check out the video-podcast I'm co-hosting for gryphontv - podtalk.

A Moment Of Silence

I just read some really sad news.

Please take a moment out of your day to pay respects to one of the originals.

Country

So, A lot of you know that besides being an undercover punkrocker, I love country music. It's not like thegenres are mutually exclusive, just that what most people see as country music is really just pop in a cowboy hat.

Last week was a phenomenal week for me as far as country music goes.

First up, I caught the Roy Forbes CD release concert. His new album, Some Tunes for that Mother of Mine is amazing (as are pretty much all of his albums). He was amazing, I've seen Roy about four times, and each time the experience is better than the last. There are a few tracks from the event (at the Beautiful and quite possibly haunted Vancouver East Cultural Centre) posted on his site.

As a guitarist I found this concert especially inspiring because roy forbes was accompanied by the indecently talented - his words - Robbie Steininger. In my opinion, Robbie is one of the most talented and tasteful guitarists playing today.

We also caught Shiloh Lindsey at Malone's in Downtown Van. She writes great contemporary country without the bubblegum pop aspect that makes me sick.

I'm Flock'd

Check this out, I'm testing out the Flock beta, and it's awesome. It's taken about five minutes for me to be hooked. Right now I'm checking out the blogging interface. I've got to dub my documentary so I'll write a little more later.
