Hi there again. You know what? Blogging is hard. I forget all the time, am still not quite sure how all this technology works and simply said; when it comes time to start writing, I find myself with surprisingly little to actually say.
Hmmmmm. What do you make of that.

Well, here's some stuff that I've been up to lately:
Last week I did a show at a bar called Scotyz. It's a little place on the south shore of Montreal and is literally the closest bar to my house... so I was playing in my own neighborhood and that in itself proved a little stressful. I was nervous. My buddies Ali Hassan, Tim Rabnett and Mike Ward came along to play and the show, I think, was pretty solid. Only one bug was that I was hammered by the end and was out having a smoke when the show ended so Mike was left sorta standing there in an anticlimax... I was supposed to make announcements for the bar and everything and didn't get to do it... IDIOT! I hope they'll still have us back.

Coming up this week, I'm Emceeing an event in Cote st-luc to save the golf course there... and the greenspace that comes with it. It's called Meadowfest and it's my friend Dr. Rina Gupta who asked me to do it. Comedy and mass interaction outside in the middle of the day? Should be interesting.
After that I've gotta bolt (Surely with some shaky confidence) to do a show at a charity basketball tournament. The event is taking place at the Mayor of St-Lambert's house! That's right! I'm performing for royalty! Well, Mayoralty anyway! That should be fun and will certainly be a chance at exposure to many of Montreal's movers and shakers. Cross your fingers for me.

Next week, I'm supposed to be heading up to Barrie, Ontario to play the Yuks there and because my friends Anneka and Andrew live up there, I'm gonna haul the kids along with me. THat, provided I don't land either of the 2 auditions I have coming up over the next two days... cause if I do, they shoot that weekend... but don't tell YukYuks that I might have to bail. ;) Just kidding Yuk Yuks. I never get these parts.

On another exciting note, Just for Laughs is considering a TV pitch we (the bastards) have made. It would be like a one hour Rockumentary in its format... I think anyway.

I'll keep you posted.

K, my wrists hurt. I'll save some for next time.
Love,
Derek
