eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

I'm writing 'cause I feel I should. Because I haven't written about my trip yet; because random friends have recently told me that they actually read this, and are disappointed when I don't update; because I have been places and done things I probably should report on, or something.


Before I was hopping fences, becoming a temporary hockey fan and going hippy for the weekend, I was in PEI. What a neat place. I would post photos, but I've lost the cord for my camera. Soon soon. The actual land of PEI is gorgeous - rolling hills, nice ocean/bay views almost everywhere you go. I didn't meet a single person who wasn't exceptionally kind and generous and genuine. The shows I talked about earlier went well, the panels went well, it all ran smooth. Thank Liv. Being there gave me an idea about what it might be like to be somewhere else in work and life, shaking things up, having new...experiences. Not that I'm unhappy, but as Prince Buster once said, "Sometimes I sit back and I wonder"...

what else happened this month? Oh yeah, The Oilers. I must admit that I have a new appreciation for hockey, but I know it won't last. Not that I disrespect it, but unless something is ON THE LINE, I can't get that into sports. It's simply not in my blood. I also went and communed with my inner hippy this past weekend at North Country Fair - I think this makes 5 years straight for me. I like it, but I think I might have overdid the consumption this time. I'm still a wee woozy, and it's Tuesday. Speaking of Tuesday...today I DJ'd at my oddest locale yet. City Hall. It's true. Check it:

yep, I wore pink. I'm so manly.

It was for a reception for The NextGen Task Force Report presentation. The city paid to have this report on the next generation of Edmontonians, and how to make the city a "hip and vibrant" place to WANT to be. I sat on the advisory committee that brainstormed suggestions, some of which actually made it to paper. Check the link above for the official recommendations.

In music/workness, I'm stoked about some things I've been working on. I just confirmed two dates with M.Ward (July 22 - Calgary @ The Ironwood, July 24 - Winnipeg, WECC); I'm also doing a Do Make Say Think show in Calgary on Nov. 21st. There is so much in between now and then. My birthday is coming up, so is Shambhala.


I'm feeling so in love these days its making me dizzy.

Oh look, it's summer. Happy June 21st. I'm beaming, inside and out.
