airplane on the highway from the re-release party

it really stands out in my mind as the most brilliant moment to have a memory made real again. i love these guys and love the way we met and knew each other in our 20s. dave's intro, not heard here, was like the coolest present ever.

magali's birthday

well i just had to show up somewhere else first. the royal conservatory. what a fantabulous pleasure to collaborate with the madawaska quartet. from the first meeting at their studio in the east end to rehearsing at array to easily doing this show. good signs and they asked me to collaborate/ write for them. oh thank you oogly moogli or whatever current god is in charge of fate.

looking at raw

almost raw kinda
close but no cigar
moreso than ever

misc

bean is dying
manfred is fixing the leaky doors
michael is drilling the exhaust for the new laundry room
cbc is liking my archive idea
marty has maybe a movie for me and a show to score
gordie is in barcelona
green smoothies are the rule
magali got the $100 volvo
must pay my gst
filter the tenants furnace
fear of plumbing for the new laundry room

not to self: always tell them put me on early

arrived early to play pontiac quarterly only to discover i am on last. perhaps liz who organized this evening of performance thought it was special or something for me to be last? people often think of it as the best spot. but i hate being last. it is the worst of all spots. if it is a weekday then people are leaving before the performance ends, walking out on you or before you and if it is a weekend they are drunk or fucked up by the end of the night. oh well.

this is the last song i played in munich and the feistness factor on drums took it to another level.

a lesson learned in endings for the bob. interesting that when i returned for technically the last show it kinda already happened in munich. this must be another example of why they didn't teach kabala to teenagers.
