hallo folks. due to some misadventures with publicity timing the chapel show has been cancelled, alas. but you can still go see azeda booth at the railway club on july 22. i hope to be there, downing a celebratory martini after finishing the mix for This Riot Life. we start on monday, i’m very excited. and as colin sets up the songs every day i’ll be working on the prize ribbons. i’ll mail out the first round of life support packages at the end of the month.
what else? i’ve just finished a film with ivan coyote called The Love That Won’t Shut Up. it’s about queer history in vancouver, and was commissioned by Out On Screen, our gay film fest. the film will play at the Vancity Theatre on august 24th, and ivan and i will both perform at the screening. another OOS event: John Cameron Mitchell is coming!!! I’m very excited, and hope to meet him.
what else?

and a few days ago, we wrangled 4 guinea pigs out of our back yard. it’s non-stop adventure around here folks. i better get out of the computer room and see what’s going on now. xx v Continue reading and july
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.
