Hit up the Blues Festival on Saturday night!
(we were supposed to go Friday night too – but Curly Blue Cuter Gecko’s birthday party got a little out of control so we didn’t make it!!)
Anyways! Saturday!
This is Dr.John and his band rockin’ it like nobody’s business in Victoria Park!
Soooooooo awesome!!!!!!! And the place was packed!!
Bry, P and I were a few beers in and having a great time! (cant you tell?!?! hahaha we look miserable, i don’t know why – we were really having an awesome night)
and then Bryan made us some fried Catfish – take that you non-existent useless piece of garbage gallbladder!
And then it got dark and we got kicked out of our sweet backstage digs and we went to see Johnny Lang.. who was mildly disappointing – but lots of people were really diggin it and the new and improved downtown was massively full of people… so that was great!
AND! THE CUBE WAS IN FULL FORCE! You can’t tell in this photo … but look how beautiful city hall looks.
As a sidenote, i’ve been noticing that i clench my jaw together whenever I blog lately. What do you think that’s about?
Just know that when i need braces (again) or a frickin’ retainer of some sort, it’s all this blogs fault.
Alright, tea, then bed.
Nite!

On Sunday March 28th from 3-6pm there’s going to be a rally at the Waterloo Park Grist Mill to call attention to the way our culture views disposable materials.
Trap Tiger is playing… and The Orfs… and it might even be a nice day. You should come out! yeah – you! with the water bottle – i’m talking to you. (you know who you are)
You can find out more details HERE
There’s a lot of people talking about this little GEM right now… The Story of Bottled Water.
NEW RQ CHALLENGE: if you see me with a disposable plastic drink bottle, you can kick me in the junk.

You know, the opera isn’t for everyone all the time. But it’s a wicked experience.
You should try it out AT LEAST once… it’s like cottage cheese, i thought i hated cottage cheese because i tried it 10 years ago. But the other day i tried it and i like it and now i’m eating it. So there.
Maybe opera isn’t exactly like cottage cheese.
Check out Opera Kitchener performing Madama Butterfly on Sunday at 3pm.
Humanities Theatre, UW. Sung in Italian with English Subtitles.
Tix are $40 per adult. More details HERE.

PS. RQ reader and KW blogger CJ has posted a great little rant on why YOU should go – check it out HERE.

Sorry for the late notice on this one guys –
Calling all performance artists to submit a letter of intent to Lawrence at the Registry Theatre for the upcoming “Animating the Streets” project.
Here’s the details that i know about the project, and what you should be working with:
- should run during may or june
- should be between 1 – 20 minutes in length
- should be interactive or performance based
- should be in a high traffic area (uptown or downtown preferred)
- and should be during a high traffic time (lunch, after work, in conjunction with another event)
Could be located in a business or in public space/street.
There will be a small honorarium awarded to all the selected performance groups, but this should be seen primarily as a marketing opportunity for local artists.
That’s all i know, sorry dudes, sounds cool – get involved!

Check this out!
Pat the Dog Playwright Centre Announces:
THE BARREL PROJECT: A Multi-Media Collective Theatre Piece for the Entire
Community
For more than a decade, a pyramid of Seagram’s barrels sat at the corner of Erb and Caroline Street in downtown Waterloo. In August 2009, the landmark barrels went up for grabs. Within hours, the kegs had found new homes but left many questions. What happened to them? Where did they go? Who are the new owners?
Over the next few months, Pat the Dog Playwright Centre will gather stories, take pictures and cooper a play about these historic kegs. The results? The Barrel Project: A multi-media collective theatre piece for the entire community.
If you own or owned one (or more) of the authentic Seagram barrels,
Pat the Dog wants to talk to you!
Contact Charmian Christie at charmian@patthedog.org and put BARREL PROJECT in the subject line, or phone 519-886-4577.
So great! Already emailed them about our Barrel!
