rogue - where are you

i know you read my blog Rogue, come to my hitting the road party tommorow night. you know the address!!

some of my favourite photos of bree





Since i am off to Toronto on Tuesday to begin an eight week comedy tour, I thought I'd load these pics onto my blog for when I get to missing my girl, since I'll be away from my computer and my files. Still trying to get my camara fixed/replaced so all I have are old images right now. Is she the cutest or what!!

time penalty costs me the victory


Went to the poetry slam last night. Finished in the money - third, even though i had a time penalty. Got one 10 in my score.

Hung out with Rogue, who did his piece on not having much of a "piece". Very funny, but he went over time too, so he didn't advance. He manges to not care and continue to dance to a different drummer. Since I'm hitting the road next week, that will be my last salm till I get back. Then slam has been great fun for me, and even though the B listers tried to push me out, I held my ground and found my place there. Fred asked me if I would like to be on the team next year, and I told him I would. Then I went to the Arts club to play my songs. People liked the new ending on the path.


I am starting to feel the seperation anxiety that I always get before leaving on a long road trip but "this too shall pass".

The week that made it to September.

Well, let's see loyal readers, whats happened. Monday - played a set of songs at Arts Monday, had my first musician groupie experience. Didn't hate it. Brett Martin played his guitar, following the fledgling trend of comedians who play music.

Worked Tuesday for Denis, doing construction. Ripping out a floor. I did it for two days.

Tuesday Night I went to the Main Street Slam. Leanne and the rest of the trialer park were their. I just wanted to get my Four Poets of the Apocalypse story read. K came along. My story killed. The Trailer Park boys did some stuff, which K HATED. (perhaps she's biased cause she knows how these guys have treated me, but who cares, bias wins elections.) Any way, the A listers were there, so it was great to talk with Spillious and McGargle, Fred, RC, swanface and those two black guys. (Kidding!! Zach and Scruff - two of Van Slam's top voices) So it was a good night. As winner I recieved a free back rub.

Wednesday - Worked construction and drove some girls. Very tiring day, which ended at 9am Thursday.

Oh, met up with Brian, and Aussie who was looking at my place. He decided to take it, so now my rent concerns are done till Dec. Nice!

Hung out with Stephane on Thursday. He came out to watch me play at Yew York. Did my songs in practice for me singing my song at Church on Sunday.

Friday, saw my shrink, and we got to work on anger. Intense EMDR. Lots of tears. hmmmm

Saturday, music lesson/practice with Allan and K on her flute. She made him sit up, once he realised she could play.

This Morning, did the songs at church (The Path, and me accompanying K in Ode to Joy.)

and we killed... or praised or something. It went well!
