EPISODE 16: Kim-Chi.

Okay, so it’s been a while since I opened my laptop and typed out some dribble for you ponies. So what have I been doing? I’m so glad you asked. I have been to a wedding, to Montreal, and to Ottawa for the fifth time in four weeks. Speaking of which, I’ve always found telling jokes to young Republicans forces me to adjust the narrative slightly. When my adventures exploring the mean streets of Toronto include dancing like a monkey for free beer – it just doesn’t have the same effect on them for some reason.

Tomorrow night at the Rivoli, our unemployed columnist John Hastings is temporarily employed as their stand-up host for the evening!

Doors open at 8:30, cover is pay what you can. See you ponies there!

EPISODE 15: Smartphones.

How did I spend today? Was I basking in the sun’s glory, sipping a frosty beer and speaking to my dear friends about leather bound books written by the oldest men with the longest and whitest beards?

The sentence was not some grotesque notion nor was it descriptive by any stretch of the imagination. It was simply a command; an order to stare headlong into the abyss of something so mature and so traumatic that it made my cell phone cascade tears through the screen and onto my wrist.
