Next Show - Live @ Comedy Bar as Musical Guest

This one I am super excited about. Oh yes and how rude of me, hello to you all and how do you do?

I am playing 3 songs on Sunday, May 26th @ Toronto's very Halarious

Comedy Bar

945 Bloor Street West (Near Ossington station (Delaware Exit))

Time: 9pm sharp

The sketch show "Sunday Night Live" is going to be amazing brought to you by Toronto's very funny"Sketchersons". The reason I am so excited about this one is because I used to sing in their house band and not only am I going to play 3 songs from my new album "Maverick" I am going to sing in the house band for the night too "GOOD OLD TIMES ABOUND".

Oddly enough off the record, 3/4 of the house band lads are my band. I just missed them so much that I begged them than transported them to my own musical realm via laser beam travel lol.

Ok yes that last sentence just entered the realm of super nerd talk, AHEM...back to the matter at hand.

COME FOR SOME GREAT COMEDY AND GREAT MUSIC.

Sound City is Related to the Health of Your Heart!

Ok so if you haven't already watched the documentary "Sound City", which is the lovely and talented Dave Grohl's directorial debut, than you just need to get on that already!

Man it is good, and I have already watched it three times. If you love music for music and not for the horrible pop-tronic fest that it has become as of late than this is for you. You get the cream of the crop when it comes to rock musicians talking from their hearts and such an amazing story of a genius sound board to go with it all.

I would quickly, quickly go to the website  at Sound City Website where you can purchase to stream. I bought it on dvd because I want to share this gem with whatever future generations may exist. Ideally I would like to lock it in a time capsule and bury it in front of City Hall under a cemented  tile titled "This Is Good For You".

All of the musicians are amazing but what I will say as a highlight is that after watching this movie there can be absolutely no debate regarding how much of a "Bad Mama Jamma" that Paul Mccartney still is. The Beatles were that famous for a reason and you can still hear it in his playing and singing.

I now vow to one day record on that soundboard, by golly I will figure out a way to do it :).

XOXO,
Sarah

$6,600 to get SIN?

That's the title of the yahoo news article I just read.

Mmhhhh??? Must read further.

Reads:

"Imagine having to pay thousands of dollars just to get a card with your social insurance number.That's what some northerners say will be the result of recent federal changes to the application process.Ottawa recently altered the rules for first-time card applicants so that they can no longer apply for the card by mail.

Everyone has to show up in person at a Service Canada office, but only three of Nunavut's 28 communities have such offices. That means people in Grise (GREEZ) Fiord must travel to Iqaluit to get the card — a $6,600 airfare and a week's journey."

That cannot be right but alas sometimes the dollars are flying around in the background so fast that the FLASH himself would be in a tizzy! Not sure what went wrong with the paperwork behind this new application process but Canada is a whole remember?

OH CANADA!

Aww look how colorful our map is it's pretty!

Just because people are further north doesn't mean they aren't...umm...Canadian?  Go give them offices to process this or write an addendum into your policies that deals adequately with this situation, and hurry up,  it's embarrassing.

Sheesh!!!!

The Only True Constant in Life

Daniel Day-Lewis

I remember as a young child I had snuck downstairs past my bedtime because I saw preview on T.V. for a movie called "In the Name of the Father". I was glued to the screen for those 3 hours or so and I knew that I had witnessed a kind of true form of acting in it's finest form.

After that I have pretty much followed the man's career, granted "The Ballad of Jack and Rose" was severely strange, he really does embody these characters in the eyes like few in Hollywood can.

I highly recommend everyone goes to see "Lincoln" in the theatre before it leaves as it really feels like you are watching the president in action. Mr. Day does such a great job of commanding the kind of respect that Lincoln is historically known for with the quiet natured but firm grace that was oft left out the textbooks.

I hope this movie wins every Oscar in the Oscar bucket.

Daniel Day "what a guy"!
