man, the chickadee action around here has been off the hook lately. they’re nesting, they’re fighting, they’re humping in midair. this is a photo taken by my friend jenny. i’ll just pretend it looks like this outside today.

we open Dress Me Up at the Shadbolt tonight, running through till saturday. this show will be touring in europe next spring too. that’ll probably mark my next round of solo shows as well, and shows with symphonies if i can grab them. and next week, it’s Peter Panties The Rock Show! a reunion of VH and the Bank Dogs and the amazing cast of PP at the Wise Hall, singing songs from the show and more. that’s on thursday the 5th.

ok, i have to go and take my stuff to the cleaners. and that is not a metaphor.

oh, that was a fun time at smorgasbord last night. dan mangan, charlie demers, mike mcgee, the crackling, aidan knight (who looks eerily like my brother, when my brother was 9; i was mesmerized) and our tuba playing mayor gregor. of course, funnest because of the 1200 people in the crowd. and because we raised a bunch of cash for at-risk youth. thank you to the beautiful church St Andrews Wesley. i think that’s a good place.

and now, ramping up for the opening of Dress Me Up In Your Love on tuesday. this is a good show. i have made a lot of comments about how you will see me in my underwear in this one; i must retract them now. barb clayden has made me a stunning dress which pins me to the set. come see. plus, madonna covers! kind of. come to the cultch or the shadbolt, and be prepared to reminisce about your favourite clothing.
