Ack, I always hate writing these posts. Once again, Neanderthal Arts Festival is coming to a close and it is hard to let go. We started talking about the festival about 18 months ago and it is amazing to me that we have done this thing twice since that first meeting. It is a labour of love and I enjoy working on the project.

We hope to continue doing it but we can't do it without your help. If you are not doing anything tonight and you are in Vancouver, you need to head down to the Vancouver East Side Cultural Centre and take in a show or two. We are starting the BBQ tonight for your delicious entertainment.

Hope to see you there!

After months of hard work, we're finally here - the Neanderthal Arts Festival is opening tonight for the second year in a row. This festival is a labour of love and we are all very proud of it and I hope you can make it. 

With everything going on in the arts world, theatre is really getting shafted. There is plenty of great stuff going on but not enough resources to go around to make them all successful.

I recommend checking it out. We've got shows for everyone and, I think, you won't be disappointed by the cool things we have off stage. We're doing a BBQ, a photo booth, we have a Grunt Deck, and many other things.

Come on out!

I can't believe the Neanderthal Arts Festival is almost here.

It feels like it was only yesterday that we were setting fire to the Cultch Historic Theatre. The week before it was just the end of the festival. But, in reality, the party was a few months ago while the previous festival was last summer. It is amazing how time flies when you're not paying attention because you're working so hard.

So, this morning, I got up, had breakfast, played with the puggies and then dressed up as a Neanderthal.

Yah.

Typical day for me.

I can't wait to see the results. Dave Mott, Allyson McGrane, and Danielle Benzon were also in attendance and put on a neanderthal performance that is sure to rock your socks when you come to the festival this July.

In other news, I just got back from PAB 2011. If you follow me on Twitter, you'll have witnessed the exploits in Ottawa. If not, I will be posting some reviews here in the next few days.

My sister told me yesterday about Carrie Fisher's one-woman play, Wishful Drinking.  I thought: "Hey, cool, she is on stage and doing some incredibly cool."  What I didn't expect was this video that promotes the performance:

Absolutely hilarious.  It proves to me that Fisher is a class act and is a nerd.  Don't ask why, just go see the show.  Sadly, I may not get to go as I don't have any plans (at this moment) to head on over to Broadway.
