For the record, whoever thought adding banana flavour to milk was a good idea - was a moron. This is the same guy who probably uses the instructions that come with Band-Aids and likes to go to movies like White Chicks and Rush Hour.
I had a lot of fun at the stand up show down last night. Even with a small crowd - I enjoyed what I did and felt strong about my performance. For the first time in a long time I didn't have that crippling nervousness beforehand. I just tried to remember to breathe and have fun. If I feel like some of what I say connects with even one person - that's all I could ever ask for.
I'm starting to get psyched for the Fringe. With our dates/times/venue finalized, it finally feels real. Being able to perform at the MTC Warehouse is both a blessing and a curse for our show. It's big..and it's big! Promotion is going to have to get crazier than my old man playing Monopoly. But overall, I feel very excited to have such a great space.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper will be addressing the victims of Residential Schools in a few hours. For some people, it will be the most emotional moments of their lives. I hope our PM speaks from his heart and not from his speech writers, not from a stand point of 'having to do this'.
Imagining those gathered in Ottawa, and thousands of other survivors gathered with friends and family in their communities to watch together seems so surreal, it overwhelms me.
I wish them strength and a chance to heal.
thanks
