The first legitimate celebrity on my blog, Mark Breslin cracks a Homolka joke that neither of us can afford to have in print. Trust me, it was funny.

Headlining YukYuks June22-25
In order to respect a professional agreement with YukYuks, who brought me out here on this tour, my performances in Toronto from here on will be exclusively at YukYuks. This means that the show planned for Brett, Matty and me at Fionn MacCool's has been cancelled. Brett will continue to host the open mic on Mondays, but I will not be performing. I would like to thank everyone at Fionn's, Glen Foster and Healey's, Ruby at Einstein's and Joanna at Spirits for the opportunity to work out some bits for my upcoming show at the SUPER CLUB. I would also like to acknowledge Mark Breslin and Judy Sims at Yukyuks, who went uncredited on my CD. This oversight was do to the speed at which the CD was produced, and the fact that it was being done in Vancouver, while I was out here. Irregardless of this, these individuals should have been acknowledged, and I am sorry for the error.

Just in off the wire
Sorry for the mass email, but today is my All-candidates speech and I'm a little under the gun :-) If you happened to pick up todays 24 Hours Daily paper you'll see that there's a negative letter in it in response to an article 24 did on my running for the NPA. Unfortunately in the world of politics these things happen and always require a response. This is where you my friends can help me out. I would greatly appreciate it if you could write just a 2-3 line email to 24 hours in response to the letter. This would really help me out. In the letter you could mention one of these things; Patrick is passionate about Vancouver and would be a great Councillor because he would tackle the homelessness issue with a fresh approach. He's been there and understands what it means to be "down and out" and would work diligently to solve the problem. He has a great ability to connect with young audiences and would be a bridge for the youth to become interested in civic politics. Reply letter should be sent to: feedback@24hrs.ca If you feel like putting in something else, please feel free, just try to keep it positive:-)
If you're interested in reading the letter, here it is:
Regarding Patrick Maliha running for City Council. Is this some kind of a joke? What does he stand for other than stand-up comedy? We have enough jokers in public office. L. Spencer, via email
Please remember that your email responses need to go out by 2:00 pm this afternoon in order to make the deadline for tomorrow. Thank you so much for all of your help. You guys are awesome!!
Thank you,
Patrick Maliha

Last night at Healy's
Went and closed Glen Foster's show last night. Such a good room. Air conditionedand no better sound anywhere. Guess that's what happens when you have qualified sound techs on the job. Still working the bugs out on the ending of my hamster bit. But it went well. Had coffee with Mark McKinley (former Kid in the Hall) and talked about our various writing projects. He's writing for "Slings and Arrows" on Showtime. Anyway, nothing to do but survive till Friday in Kingston. I had to make a car payment back home, so the couple hundred I made in Hamilton is gone... ah the life of a Canadian entertainer.

"At Least There's Drinking" in Ottawa
The "At Least There's Drinking" CD Promotional tour continues. June 14, 2005 at the Fergus Inn, Old Ottawa South, 1159 Bank Street. 613-731-9191 for reservations.
Last night Brett's "After Dark" Comedy went off great. Brett hosted, I took the bullet, new guy named Tim, then Brier, and then Matty closed it. Then me and the crew headed over to Sonic for one of these "One Night Only" concerts by Molson Canadian. I recognized the band's songs, but I forget the name of the band. (Short term memory is pretty much gone.) Anyway, my young friends enjoyed the music and free beer, and I headed into the mosh pit. Not bad for an old guy. Anyway, we had a blast!!

good ontario guys
Feeling bad about the wringer I've been through in the last week, Mike and Wanik wanted to show me that not all Ontario comics are like that, and the haters are the exception not the rule. So it was cool. 46 people at the show, I sold five CD's. Thanks guys for a great job. See ya in a couple weeks in Ottawa. Still amazed at how humourless these TO guys seem to be. But as Brett says, there is no bad publicity.
Anyway, back to what's important to ME. Just got back from church. St.Andrew's Presbyterian. I'm a member of Central Presbyterian in Vancouver, so I like to check out other services on the road. St. Andrew's is an amazing building, celebrating it's 150 anniversary this year. Reverand Cameron Brett is a great preacher, and the choir is literally world class. Rev. Brett is a pretty cool guy. I talked with him after church during the coffee and cookies, and he thought it was pretty funny that I was a comedian. I told him how disturbing that was for some of my colleagues. They say "Why?" I tell them I like to go anywhere where people look at me and say, "It's so nice to see young people here". But I was raised this way, and so it gives me rounding. I met Patricia Heaton at church in Vancouver. She was in town shooting a movie for her own company Four Boys Films. Patti, as she prefers, is very funny herself. Remember she shocked Hollywood by talking about her plastic surgery on Letterman. Dave said, "You have four sons and you still look great!" She said, "Yeah? Two Words Dave. Plastic Surgery." She told me what church to go to in New York, Holy Redeemer Presbyterian.
The toughest week is ahead. With only two shows last week and two in Kingston next week, it will be slim pickens for sure. But things pick up after that. I'll head to Ottawa and stay with my old friend Mike Holmes and his family. He's gonna help me do a CD launch there. Then Toronto, June22-25.
It is hot today. My suit was suffocating on the way home from church. This afternoon I'm headed to Brett's for a BBQ and then Einstein's (Paul the English Bastard is hosting) then Hurricanes - Matty's new spot, and then possibly the Old York for Mister Anonymous. I may not be making any money, but I sure am drinking for free. Woohoo. The "AT LEAST THERE'S DRINKING" Tour is aptly named.
