Sarah Shafey Live @ Sneaky Dee's July 4th, 2013

Hey all, this is the first time I have ever written a Blog Title from the third person perspective. Reading it back, it now sounds quite odd.

Nonetheless:

Whew it's been some time I tell ya! I blame in on good weather I do, the sun comes out and I go out frolicking around this fine city Toronto.

I want to share with you that I shall be sprinkling some fairy dust upon your lovely heads and playing a live show with my amazing band "Sarah Shafey and the Avocado Slices" (Pat Grant, Mike Celia, Scott Bouwmeester, Graeme Gerussi) at Sneaky Dee's on July 4th, 2013.

I will be on at 11:00pm.

Check the Facebook Event Page brought to you by awesome "Big Things Productions".

Come on out for some great music and great times.

Ah yes and don't forget you can grab my album now through itunes at: Sarah Shafey Album "Maverick"

I now generally as a rule of thumb have approximately 100 links in my blog posts hahah. I want you to open all of them at the same time on your smart phone and try to navigate them all with your eyes closed and just your heart.

Hope to see you out!

XOXO,

Sarah Shafey

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.

Sarah

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!!!!
