Humbug...

Lands & Peoples played a really nice set the other night at the Zodiac. It was first time in there since Sham Witty took over booking/running the place. Looks like they are pretty busy with shows now.

Last night at the 2640 Church was great. The Trudel/Hopkins Duo and Hullman/Alcorn/Leckie trio both had heady instrumental improvisations that melted my mind a little bit. It was nice to hear Susan say that she was going to drive home singing Laughing All The Way. I remember talking to a friend outside about the triangle conspiracy theory and how messed up I was at the Round Robin.

Fish & Chips at the Golden West Cafe was a nice finishing touch with friends after the show.

Denied!

I got this email today:

Dear MacGregor,

I want to thank you for auditioning for METAL GODS at AVAM.

We had a great experience and hope the opportunity was rewarding for you, too. Casting is a difficult process - especially when we see so much talent. We want to find a place for everyone, but often the creative team behind a film has very specific things in mind, which limit our ability to do that.

We are not considering you for a role in the film METAL GODS, but we wish you all the best in '09.

Sincerely,

Matt Porterfield


awwww, too bad

Happy New Year!

2009 is here and I am thinking about how I always have the same resolutions: exercise more, eat better, wake up earlier and get shit done more, etc... Basically, "do the dog," as they say.

I had a fun time ringing in the New Year at the Hamilton New Year's Party. Highlights of the night include me holding a broom for the hippy chicks to limbo under, Victor shredding a bow to the core, and the last cigarettes I could get my hands on. Also some questionable ingredients in the food spread made for a good time.

Last night I got to see Viking Moses play on his Fences Across America tour with Aghost and Pictish Trail. Local man, Andy Abelow, hosted the tour at his space, the Annex, and also joined in the music making with a set of his own and some backup sax and drums for the other songslingers.

Here is a picture of Viking Moses.
