no new news

Movie night was a relative success, other than me missing my stop, going way to far and having to walk back. Drank sangria and watched Role Models, not too shabby. Oh, by the way, I'd like to make a revision to my last statement about Blade, I don't not like Blade, I just don't like the movie. Seriously?? sunblock???

anyway.

here's something for you to look at;

self portrait, 'cause I'm an ego maniac.


I actually wanted something new to post on the ol' myspace.

off to the Junction Arts Festival like now, tah.

Project McIntosh, Cameron House Aug 27, Toronto Acoustic Songwriters Collective.

I've developed a new bad habit... more of a hobby really. Boys play video games, I go to Looket. I'm a nerd like that.



shopping for poor people (i.e., me)...

I even set up a user account; lisamarie

movie night tonight! last time we watched Blade, I'd seen it before but it had been a while. Seriously though, SUNBLOCK? really?? bah. I'll take my Vampires with a side of Buffy please.

dark glasses and a reason not to go back home

Amy Millan, MTV Live Sept 8.

The MTV Live thing was fun and most importantly free. My friend Sara won $100 gift certificate to Aveda or something, lucky lady ;)

Didn't do much of anything last night, drank red wine and watched Buffy & Angel. It may not have been much of anything, but it was an awesome not much of anything.

So, I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but it looks like it's going to be an awesome weekend here in Toronto. Vegetarian food fair, Junction Arts Festival and that film fest thing. I'm mostly excited for Jason Collett at the JAF. yay! hurrah for free entertainment ;)

... and for flowers...

Low Sail

Chang-A-Lang at Sneaky Dee's Sept 6th.









So long summer. So Long long weekend.

Amy Millan's new album came out today, I'm listening to it right now! I'm going to see her taping that MTVLive thing this evening. It's an awesome day is basically what I'm trying to say. Time to drink more coffee & head down to MTV...

slowly....

I finished a few more photos from Sam's set at the Cameron House the other day. Click on the image to see more.




I had a great time at the Free Times show on Thursday (photo by Aimee). Many thanks to Brett and J. for organizing everything and to all the lovely people who came out. Here's a little review of the show/me from the Lonely Vagabond for your enjoyment.

I've been inside all morning (afternoon), now it's time for me to escape to the outside world!

Concrete Heart

Samantha Martin and the Haggard at the Cameron House Aug 25th. This is Sam, she is a lovely lady with a lovely voice. I have some more photos from this show to go through, I'll post them later in the week.

show tonight! must create set list and prepare myself....

Before You Leave

I've been keeping busy as usual, taking some photos and music making...


Fiction at Nocturne Aug 22.

I'm going to try and post more photos, I've just felt kind of weird posting some of them with out a watermark. So, I guess that means I have to start watermarking 'em!



the Great Lake Swimmers at the Winnipeg Folk Festival, whom I have been listening to a lot lately. I think I'm in love with them. I always seem to enjoy bands that strongly identify with where they're from, like the Great Lake Swimmers and the Weakerthans...

on that note, look it's Borris!



another cover song! this time it's Matt Good's So Long Mrs. Smith


now I must practice for my gig tomorrow... at the Free Times Cafe.

cause and effect

back to school show



how grand that summer's almost done and it's just getting warm out there...




enjoy it while you can I suppose.
