complaint department

i am writing a song for the Vancouver Complaints Choir. if you live in vancouver and you have a complaint, please send it to me. you can leave it in the comments section below, or email it to me at veda at vedahille dot com. your complaint may be voiced in song! all complaints will be kept anonymous, and i reserve the right to adjust language while respecting the essential nature of the complaint.

ps if this goes well i may end up writing more complaints music and will open up the field to complaints outside of vancouver. live in hope.

a recap of the past few weeks

me n' ami
oh goodness, a whirlwind of a few weeks have gone by. this is a picture of me and my conspirator ami gladstone at the opening of the Greatest Cities show on March 9. since then we’ve also been workshopping the expanded Craigslist piece, which you can see in all its rough glory on may 2 at the arts club revue theatre. i also played at a fundraiser for think city, a gang of really interesting and motivated vancouver people. it inspired me a bit more to stay in our city, although the wanderlust has taken hold of my heart lately. speaking of wanderlust, my husband is on tour with No Kids and is blogging from the road: have a good time at jenkin time. i’ve also been doing a bunch of teaching lately, out in whiterock and at ubc and in my garage. not to mention keeping the child alive and kicking.

things i’m looking forward to: a gig on april 7 at the vancouver art gallery with bill richardson and ivan coyote. The Very Best at the biltmore may 28!!!!!! also at the biltmore, the fits will be joining the fugitives for their cd release on may 26. oh, and if i can possibly make the ryan trecartin talk at emily carr on thursday i’ll be very pleased. there’s a disorganized bunch of information for you. did i mention that i dreamt about viggo mortensen and a rogue killer whale last night? see ya.
