Robert Nelson was my hero. I first saw him in ’88. I have performed with him a couple times, a highlight in my life. He was a huge influence and inspiration. He was the king. The community mourns. RIP 2012

These are some of my best heroes

I learned these jams walking

I like the interview the best

A song I like today

Meet me in LA in January. I dare you. You can’t stay with me though. I’ll be lucky if I don’t get kicked out myself.
Just made 3 shorts. Coming soon. Hey do you wanna buy a kids’ show. Perfect then. I wrote two articles for this I’m not allowed to tell which ones. Kiss me.

I’m having the summer of my life. Quite literally. I hope you are too. Sweet Valley Summer, my friend calls it.
Sure have a swim. Sure. Do some kissing. Dancing. Singing. Eat some black raspberries, why don’t you. Go to Newfoundland. Sure, go for it. Oh sure. Call me. Let’s do this, you know what I mean? Let’s “get it”.
Lately I’ve been spending a lot of time. I have so much saved up, you see.
I’m doing a play called “Little One” at Summerworks. Google those two things and you get more about it. It’s a theatre play. I like play practice. I like playing dress-up and pretend. Come see it. It’s 15 bucks. Or don’t. No pressure, now.
Ice Cream truck’s outside. Gotta go.
I whistle this song all the time. Like a lot. I like it a lot. I like you a lot. You’re great just by your being you.
Doing a musical at Pop Montreal with Socalled. Doing stuff, whatever. Have a nice day now, little one.

Is kind of my hero.
She likes this song. A lot.

Pretty good, right? She’s got good taste.
Here’s another for your morning.

Amazing mixtape. Holy.

Hi.

I made a kid’s show.

Just got back from a month in Calgary doing a theatre play. About to do another one. Didn’t go to SXSW but my movie did. It’s called Slow Dance. I’ll show it to you sometime, I figure.
Here’s a pic from a Pat Watson vid I did in NY in the fall. It might come out someday.
