The Carleton newsletter

Somebody call the cops or someone else in authority! It's just been brought to my attention that something called, "Christmas" is, literally, only a few calendar clicks away. I am shocked, not to mention appalled, that this freaking holiday has again crept up on me! It's still reasonably warm out, there's no snow in the forecast, I'm pretty sure I just watched the World Series on TV... Oh yeah, I guess I also watched the Grey Cup on TV last night (put a stake in my Rider heart why don't you, Montreal?) so maybe it shouldn't be that much of a surprise but still...

I'm sure at least some of you have been waiting to get my impressions of what went down at our place on the night of November 11th. Perhaps the picture above will give you some idea, hahaha... This shot was taken in the dressing room after the show came off without a hitch, astonishingly!

As was pointed out to me by a sharp-eyed, and calendar-conversant reader, the date for the aforementioned MacKenzie Project/Ennis show is November 10th NOT November 12th. Honestly... Sorry to clog your inbox with my mistakes...

The same reader also pointed out - being as how November 11th is, for many people, a "holiday" - that the oft-used, "well I'd love to come but I have work in the morning," excuse won't wash in this case!

Thank you loyal reader.

An Award! Sheesh...

Whew, I'm just back from a whirlwind trip to the micropolis of Yarmouth for the annual Nova Scotia Music Week celebrations and awards wing-dings. It was a short but mighty sojourn. I've got to hand it to the Yarmouthians, they rose to the occasion and packed out the showcase venues and sold out the awards gala on Sunday night. Really nice to see a town get behind an event like this!
