Artist in Residence:
Main Street, Bruno
My apologies for not blogging sooner but things have been a little busy here in Bruno lately. Last week I started a new job right across the street from All Citizens at Prefontaine’s Custom furniture and cabinetry. On my first day, Ron, my boss almost cut his thumb off! I had to race him (no fear of speeding fines as there are no police in Bruno) to the nearest hospital in Humboldt about 35 KMS east of town. I’m happy to say that Ron and his thumb will be fine. In other news around town, the weather has extended the harvest!!! I’ve been told by people in the know that its extremely unusual for farmers to be combining this late in the year. Last night the local church held its annual Bazaar so almost every living soul in Bruno was at the town hall eating turkey and mashed potatoes. This might explain why last evening’s All Citizens concert featuring Vancouver’s Language Arts and Emily Grist + Toronto’s Gravity Wave & Peter Project was poorly attended. Actually, we had exactly ZERO people show up. Because of the extreme awesomeness of the musicians involved, the concert happened anyways with myself, our dog Terrence, cat Booboo and band members cheering on the very, very excellent performances. Next time around I’ll post a few pictures and links to the videos I shot. I’ll also be saying something about recent performances by Thunder Bay’s Jean-Paul De Roover, Toronto’s $100 and a local upcoming art event called, “Evening With Family and Friends”.
Until then…
