this is how i feel this morning. which is nice. little. lazy reading sunday with coffee and rain outside. a day with only the pressing task of grocery shopping, something i enjoy mightily.

in home news i’m working steadily on the life support packages. the dining table is a riot of prize ribbon detritus. oh, and there’s a new show scheduled for vancouver on july 24th at the chapel. with a band from calgary called azeda booth. the chapel is a new venue in town, an old funeral home in the downtown eastside. a beautiful art deco building. i have high hopes for it, we sure need more places to see music in this town.
and for all you folks outside of vancouver, there are plans for touring next year. canada, usa, uk, and europe. my homebody self will be banished in 2008. and by then i’ll be dying to play, so it works out well i think. this is a nice year of recharge over here.
ok, happy sunday to you all. xv Continue reading this is june
