  • It’s cool, I’m with the band

    This is one of many great photos that Jade took during our photo shoot for the band yesterday. Thanks Jade, you rule!

  • Jay Dunphy and K.C. Hingley at the Spiral Café

    I don’t know if Jay and K.C. will want to get any of these printed in colour (it’s pretty expensive) which is a shame, since the black and white version doesn’t have quite the same punch.

  • DONNY! YOU’RE OUT OF YOUR ELEMENT!

    Best Homestar Runner Halloween Episode Ever? Possibly. The easter egg that comes up when you click on Pom-Pom at the end made me laugh out loud.

  • It’s been a while

    It’s been a while since I’ve partied with two particle physicists and a projectionist.

  • Paintball!

    Colin and I went out to TNT Paintball today. I made a few good kills, and got killed a few times myself. I made it out alive, but my pants weren’t so lucky. I’ll spare you photos of my welts. The gig last night was great. I dig the new stage at Logan’s, though they…

  • This is fact not fiction for the first time in years

    The word of the day is gestalt. It’s been a musical few weeks. We played our first show with Annie Nolan on Sept 17, and it went quite well. (For those who were confused, I wasn’t playing with Jay that night, it was his last show with his old band.) Then I saw The New…

  • Ahhh! Snake!

    You may recall that back on July 10 I mentioned that I’m in a band again. Well, that’s a lie. In fact, I’m in two bands. The first one has me playing the bass for a lovely singer-songwriter by the name of Annie Nolan. Our first gig is on Sept. 17 at Steamers Pub, opening…

  • Flight 521/651, Ottawa to Victoria

    It’s my last day in Ottawa. I’ve been a bit negligant in updating my travelogue here, so to both of you reading it, I apologize. Angela and I arrived in Montreal on the evening of the afternoon on the 5th. From the bus station, the Berri-UQAM Metro station is just a flight of stairs away.…

  • Demain, nous allons à Montréal

    Despite having caught a bit of a cold, I’m enjoying my Ottawa Adventure. Since my last dispatch, I’ve visited the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography, the Ottawa Locks, the Parliament Buildings (outside, and inside Centre Block, including the Peace Tower), the Canadian War Museum, and the National Gallery of Canada. I’ve also done a lot…

  • Our Nation’s Capital

    Four a.m. Saturday morning saw me stumbling bleary-eyed into the shower. I proceeded to also stumble into: my shoes, Mike’s car (thanks Mike!), an airport, and an airplane. Somewhat energized with airplane coffee and Peak Freans cookies, I entertained myself with an episode of The Surreal Life on the back of the seat of the…
