There seems to be a lot of germans at mec today, makes me hungry for strudle beer and discipline

A man is dead if he no longer appreciates a beautiful woman. He is also dead if his wife catches him staring!

Ugh, one hour left at work, can't wait for tonight's gig!

Friday seems to be my most productive day, I think I have it backwards... I should be on a patio or something... oh well, off to MEC

I'm looking for wheels, perhaps I should get in on this! http://ping.fm/KfImA

The Global Village, Into The Wild, The Cube Question

Isn't it amazing how quickly winter is forgotten? When the city streets fill with sunshine, skin and festivals, everything seems a little more possible!

INTO THE WILD

 

The centerpiece of my summer will be a lengthy trip to Wabakimi National Park:

http://maps.google.ca/maps?hl=en&q=Wabakimi+Provincial+Park,+Thunder+Bay,+Unorganized,+Thunder+Bay+District,+Ontario&ie=UTF8&cd=1&geocode=FY1lAwMdcfao-g&split=0&sll=49.891235,-97.15369&sspn=16.71875,56.536561&ll=50.509933,-87.8302&spn=1.561491,3.515625&z=8&iwloc=A 

 

If you click this link, you'll realize its a very very long drive, and frankly, after spending most of the past two years running around the cement of Toronto, getting back to the dirt is exactly what I need! My partners in crime (tripper buddies rob, haller and hart) and I will be tripping hard: white water, unmarked trails and portages, massive lakes!  I intend to spend a large chunk of my evenings writing songs, and telling stories round the fire! Wish me luck, I hope I don't get eaten by a caribou.

 

In addition to this trip, I will be doing my usual round of summer camp touring 

balancing the natural w/ the urban is very important to my music and my sanity.

THE CUBE QUESTION

I've been amazed by how many people have asked me about the results of "that cube thing".... so many of you voted, I cannot thank you enough!

I find out the results at a private gala which will take place simultaneously in three canadian cities on June 23. The toronto one is at Circa, and they've asked me to perform a 15 minute set... which is a good sign, but they emphasized that it does not mean I have won!

The Fall Tour is still in the planning stages, but many questions and routes will be answered depending on the outcome of the cube!

Wish me Luck!

Thats enough for now.... as always, check out my twitter, myspace and youtube, itunes!

If you do visit, don't forget to rate me high, this helps increase my visibility!

send the links to friends, and keep coming out to shows.... Your support means everything to me

Be well
