best part of Merrit


Ernie Butler

Sadly, Ernie Butler passed away yesterday. Ernie was the kingpin of stand-up comedy in Montreal, and I had the opportunity to to work at his club and be on his radio show twice last year. He was a pioneer and an inspiration, and his impact will live on. Thanks for everything Ernie!!

play-reading and sub-letting


This weekend was pretty interesting. Friday - went to jessica's party with K. Was pretty fun - except I got home late and then got a call to drive Chanelle. That ended at 7am. I slept for a bit, then drove out to Maple Ridge to take Breanna to audition for some casting company. The event was just a promo to sell the school, but Bree was great and we got to spend time together, which was the point. Then I drove her back to Maple Ridge and then went directly to Pacific Theatre, to do a reading of Kim Seary's Magdelena's Monster. I read "Henry" and, well what can I say, we got a standing ovation. It was very cool to do theatre again.

Then about 2am, I got a call to drive a new girl, Santana. Two hour call to West Van. Pretty grim. Young, attractive, bitchy and addicted to crack. Oh well.

Then I slept a bit and went to church.

After church we had a board of managers meeting, and then I met with a guy who needed to sublet. Didn't get the place too clean at that point and so, ah, he didn't go for it.

Then I had dinner at K's. We are doing some music at church next week and needed to practice. Watched "The Dead Girl". good story.

So now I'm cleaning. Taking Money to the bank, and gonna have a coffee in a bit. Dates for the tour are firming up.

September Niagara Falls, Hamilton, Kingston.

October: ajax, halifax, moncton, missiagauauhauauwah.

November - Toronto.

Gonna play music at the arts club later tonight. tomorrow, back to working demolition. hard work, but its nice to get a check at the end of the week, and not hang out with crack heads.

This picture is NOT how I look any more. Cut off all the hair and stuff. Have recieved many compliments for my new look from women, gay men and my daughter. So there ya go.
