Uncanny Mikenesses
Mike Holmes (of True Story fame, in this very paper!) is releasing a book showcasing the value of putting yourself in other people’s shoes. Mikenesses, funded entirely through a successful Indiegogo campaign, features Holmes imaginging himself (and sometimes his portly cat Ella) drawn in 100 different styles, those of his favourite cartoon, comic book, children’s…
Clutch Culture’s summer collection 2012 is a dose of sunshine
After a weekend and a half of dreary rain, the vitamin D (hereby known as vitamin daaaaamn) punch of Clutch Culture’s sunny summer 2012 runway collection should bring you back up to normal happiness levels. The two lines shown on Saturday night at FRED represented where designer Mo Handahu is at right now, 1998 featured…
Daytime Emmy win for local developer
Not satisfied with merely scaring the sweet bejeezus out of everybody, Halifax based interactive director Jason Nickel of Nickel Digital Experiences and director Jason Zada scored a sweet Daytime Emmy last weekend at the 39th Annual Daytime Entertainment Emmy Awards at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in LA for their Facebook creepfest application Take This Lollipop,…
What happens next with the Thibeault estate case?
Last week, five of the heirs to the Mary Thibeault estate petitioned the Probate Court to have mayor Peter Kelly removed as executor. Two more heirs have told the court they intend to sign onto the petition in coming days. Readers will recall that The Coast revealed in February that Kelly had removed over $160,000…
alFresco filmFesto’s #SummerofJohnny keeps rolling
alFresco filmFesto brought together an impressive selection of local musicians (Rich Aucoin, Cory Bowles, Margot Durling, Jenn Grant, Daniel Ledwell, John Mullane, In-Flight Safety, Mo Kenney, Natasha Peach, Gabrielle Papillon, Stewart Legere, Gordon Campbell, Luckas Cardona) on a sunny day in the park to record an ode to their 2012 alFresco filmFesto star, Johnny Depp.…
Rotten eggs
A rainy Sunday morning after a late night out, breakfast in a Halifax diner seems a good idea to stave off a hangover. Cheap, fast and delicious is what we expected but not at all what we received. After ordering the two egg special that comes with toast and asking to substitute a bagel for…
Lost and found art
I’ve you’ve ever walked past weird garbage and thought it was sort of beautiful, Lisa Cochrane feels you. Cochrane has curated a show opening opening Wednesday, July 4 the Chase Gallery at the Public Archives of Nova Scotia filled with the work of like minded artists. ReVISION, running to July 30, exploring what she calls…
You’re ruining it for the rest of us
I’m new to biking so sometimes I need to push my bike up a hill, or take a break, but If I’m on the sidewalk I’m next to my bike not on it. I’m obeying the rules of the road and every time I have to push my bike into the grass because you idiots…
Hey summer fever
Didn’t I see you cross the way in the spring? You made me melt. —Winter
Mixed marital arts
Now if I open the window…blind, will you make the marriage…bed? And if I plead amnesia, will you like the sound of it? —Paper Moon
Rain go away
The rain sucks. Go away. —The Sun
Councillor Bill Karsten objects to council live-blogging
Yesterday, mayor Peter Kelly had other commitments, so deputy mayor Bill Karsten took over duties of presiding over the weekly council meeting. As usual, I was there and live-blogged the meeting via Twitter. Today, I received the following email from Karsten: Tim, I saw your crap on twitter last night, and I have had about…
Such an ass
Waiting at a set of lights to turn left…this intersection has two lanes that both turn left and a flashing green arrow—how convenient. Green arrow flashes and douchebag woman beside me is so impatient that she changes lanes in the middle of an intersection while turning left!? WHO TAUGHT YOU HOW TO DRIVE YOU DOUCHE!?…
Turn it up
To the band that practices Sundays on Pepperell Street, thanks for the afternoon tunes. Your Rolling Stones cover of “Loving Cup” sounded great while I was working in the yard. —Chop Saw
Sled Island round up
Wednesday: Bloodhouse at the Royal Canadian Legion (Upstairs) Raw dog rock gods Bloodhouse are the first band of my official Sled Island 2012 experience. The audience at the legion waded through the swampy riffs and swirling delay as Bloodhouse cut loose on them. Some other bands played that I didn’t really pay attention to because…
I hate Halifax weather!
I’m so fucking sick and tired of this foggy, cold, overcast, raining, misting, cloudy, damp, below average temperatures in the Maritimes. Here it is June 26 and the nicest weather we’ve had was back in March for a week—what the hell? This weather is depressing me and I don’t know how much more I can…
Jonesing for Jonestown
In ambitious people news, Halloway “Hind Legs” Jones is looking for intrepid volunteers and interesting bands for the mini-festival/art show by the name of Jonestown. Happening on August 18, the festival sounds like a doozy. “I’m lining the Bus Stop Theatre (academy style) with paintings and multimedia works I’ve made in my four years of…
Please shoot J.R. again
First, I couldn’t believe that Dallas was being revisited. Then, I couldn’t believe that the show had high ratings! While I didn’t watch in the ’80s I at least understood why people were drawn to this show—given the ’80s were all about excess. But now? What gives? Who in their right mind would be interested…
Tomavino’s Cellar Ristorante has reopened
Good news in the south end! After two-and-a-half years of enforced idleness, Tom Vacon, owner of Tomavino’s Cellar Ristorante (5173 South Street, note new phone: 425-9111), calls to say he’s open for business again. Readers will recall that in 2010 Tomavino’s fell victim to a fire in the adjoining building, which also took out Thai…
FML haiku
Bus seat mystery, what liquid did I sit in? Pee? Bleach? Pop? Sniff…pee. —Old Man Pissy Pants
Hey
You dress like a homeless person—this doesn’t make you an anarchist. You are angry and violent—this doesn’t make you a punk. Collecting welfare and living off the food bank is not living off the grid. You can tell yourself and anyone who will listen your various versions of the truth about why your life is…
Dog park rules
I love taking my dog to off-leash dog parks. It’s great for him to be able to socialize, and there’s no better way to tire him out. Anyone who frequents off-leash areas knows there are certain rules to follow—pick up after your dog, don’t let your dog dig or rip up the grass, your dog’s…
Working in the rain
I saw a group of people working on their plots in the new city garden at the corner of Robie Street and Quinpool Road. I really admired your effort and cannot wait to see the results. Congrats to everyone involved in getting this idea into motion—our city will benefit in so many ways! —Loves Green…
Missing the kissing
One time you told me “You don’t know what you’re missing.” Now I know, and I’m missing it a lot. Best Kisses EVER. Thanks for all the kissing. —XO
Wine stealing wanker
To the jerk or jerks who were behind me in line at the grocery store and stole the bottle of wine I had left—you people are soulless sons of bitches! I had forgotten the wine at the cashier’s for less than five minutes, but it was already gone when I ran back for it. You…
Flower power
To the blanky blank person who stole my plants: Screw you! I had my very first ever flower planter specially made to fit my window. I spent all Friday selecting then planting my beautiful additions to the neighbourhood, only to discover less than 12 hours later some scrum had to steal from my planter. I…
Mr. Nice Guy
To the lovely man that stopped in the Dartmouth Commons to help a young injured crow, call Hope for Wildlife, and move it out of harm’s way. I checked for it on my way home and it was gone. I trust your kindness helped it recover and it lived to learn to fly another day.…
Hate to rain on your parade, but…
If your dog is not fixed and you intend to walk him on a very dog friendly trail, put him on a leash. I don’t need your 150 pound pup trying to start a turf war with my dogs while we’re trying to enjoy a leisurely stroll. —Gentle Giant
You got me at hallo
To the good-looking guy at a home store in Dartmouth Crossing. I was looking for a paint person to help me decide on what paint to get for my stained ceiling. You stopped and asked me what I needed since I was freaking out because the store was closing. Even though it wasn’t your department,…
Bitching about bikes? Fuck off
I have a car and a bike. It’s much safer to drive you ignorant fucktards. Why do you think people on bikes ride on the sidewalk? Your hypocritic asses can’t look both ways before turning, merging, can’t figure out how to signal, etc. I see it all the time. I’m driving down the road, and…
Two days in May
What did we start? A huge raging inferno of desire that’s becoming as confusing as it is satisfying. I don’t think I can let go now that you’ve got such a hold of me. I don’t know where this will lead us eventually, but for now I’m enjoying the ride. This week will be so…
Don’t be polite
While you may think that you’re being courteous, kind, “paying it forward,” or making a difference in the world, it is fucking dangerous to ignore the rules of the road! If someone wants to turn left onto a busy street at rush hour let them wait for fuck’s sake. Right of way, right of way,…
He’s just a child!
To the rude bitch on the bus sitting across from me and my six-year-old son. My kid was just sitting there, happily making “Whooopp!” noises. After about 10 minutes of his little shouts, you let out a loud sigh and asked me, “Is your kid mentally handicapped? Is that why he’s making all that racket?”…
Where art thou
We met March 2009 in the early afternoon, I bought beer and walked by to my place on Brunswick Street. You are an amazing and resilient woman. You shared with me some sad times, like being in prison (jail time for a number of years), surviving breast cancer after a double mastectomy, the scary news…
Nice girl with the cellphone
Just wanted to say thanks to the girl who stopped on Thursday afternoon when my car broke down by the mall. I was in a tough jam and you really helped me out. Thanks again. You rock. —Busted Clutch
Little Women: The Musical
It seems fitting that Little Women, a story fueled by loving relationships and plucky, can-do attitudes, is being used to raise funds for as worthy a charity as the Metro Non-Profit Housing Association. The Broadway Musical version is a little disjointed in its retelling of Louisa May Alcott’s tale of a tight-knit family living through…
Watch where you’re driving
I just moved to the city and on my walk home from work today I was at an intersection waiting for my turn to walk, I had two kids ask me how to get somewhere so I gave them the best directions I could while the light was still red. Noticing the signal to walk…
Nails on the sidewalk
Something needs to be done in this city. I could go on about the countless issues with this city and the lack of police officers and conformance to the law. I will centre this bitch on sidewalk biking. When walking on the sidewalk, people should not have to fear for their life. Has anyone ever…
Guys are pigs
So it’s summer. The season where people wear shorts, skirts, tank tops, etc. Trying to go for a walk and these idiot guys are going on about my ass. Seriously? Then the ones who slow down to check you out. It’s summer, of course a woman isn’t going to wear clothes that cover up since…
Be a little courteous
When you pull into a self serve gas station, PLEASE put in your gas and then pay for it. Please in a self serve bay do not stop to wash your windows and your tires. Then clean out all your garbage out of your car while others are waiting behind you to get their gas.…
It is what it is
To all of those good-looking-self-righteous motherfuckers sprawled out naked on Citadel Hill—fuck off—when did your own back deck become such an eye sore? It’s disrespectful to our city. Military invasion coming soon, shutting down all of your favourite nudist colonies. I’ll turn it into a film perhaps. —Killuminati
WOO HOO!
Halifax’s alFresco filmFesto is back baby! While I’m not overly-pleased with the choice of movies, I still vividly remember the good times had last year and definitely plan on supporting this cause. I’m not overly please because the subtle theme last year felt like “nostalgia” movies for parents or new adults that you’ve perhaps seen…
5 days
I know my past you were there in everything I’ve done you are the one. —May
This is why bikes don’t belong on the sidewalk
Scenario: Me, pulling out of a parking lot (turning right) onto a semi-busy street in my SUV (start hatin’). I look right, no pedestrians, look left—there is a car coming. I wait. I look left again—clear, look right again—no pedestrians, quick look left to make sure I didn’t miss any cars coming and I pull…
The gum cracker
To the nutty chick who was cracking her gum in the library: grow the fuck up! I asked you politely to stop and you defied me and kept on chewing your cud. I complained about you and I have in the past. I WILL, if I can, have you bounced from the place. We WILL…
Man in the mirror
Are you lonesome tonight, do you miss me tonight, are you sorry we drifted apart? Does your memory stray to a bright summer’s day, when you kissed me and called me sweetheart? —Nova Scotia Sunshine
You stood me up!
You nagged me to meet you, and finally I accepted to meet you at this nice spot, and felt good about things. I waited…and waited. You were a no-show. I figured something had happened to you. I email you and ask, what happened? No response. It’s like you disappeared. I would like to give you…
It can be done
Congratulations and thanks for not demolishing the Glebe House. It proves that this kind of preservation of important historic buildings can indeed be done if the will is there, difficult and cost-prohibitive though it is. It is well worth it in terms of maintaining the unique character of our city. Good luck with the rest…
Supply and demand
A certain everyday item at your store costs $3 more than at the store across the street. You smirked, then squelched “supply and demand.” So I’m readjusting my demand and you’ve lost a good customer, assclown. —Bitcher
Grow up and get a life
I heard you screaming and crying at your husband from the hallway about how he never touches you or texts you throughout the day. You sounded hysterical and immature. Women like you need to grow up and realize you need to own up and take accountability for the ups and downs of friendship and lovemaking…
We’ll always
A, it was a short fun time, I loved every nanosecond of it; hope someday to make you need a towel again… —D Moon
Never lend money to a so-called friend
I thought we had a special friendship and could always share our feelings good or bad. I stepped up many times emotionally and financially to be there for you through good and bad. You may not have always liked what I had to say but accountability is part of being a mature and responsible adult.…
Fellow passenger
I spent along time sitting watching life fly by and yes it was boring, not to mention loveless.I would like to make the leap but I’m afraid that by admitting my true feelings for this person I would be shooting myself in the foot. I am very lonely and long to be held. At least…
Five minute bike ride around the corner
My first mistake was giving you my ID. You could have just let me off with a warning, I would have understood. I hope you enjoy my money; HRP, you certainly deserve it. You can’t stop people from being shot on my street but you do a bang up job of making sure every 20-something…
A summer place
The Abyss The perfect antidote to the oppressive heat and humidity of a summer’s day is the oppressive cold and dark, deep down in the ocean where Ed Harris and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio are with a crew in an undersea oil rig under siege by a hurricane, navy SEALS gone loco and aliens. This is…
Events & festivals
June 22-24 RBC Multicultural Festival Atlantic Canada’s largest cultural festival is back and there’s never been a better time to get down to the waterfront and celebrate Canada’s multicultural identity. With a bunch of food stands, vendors, world music (like the World Drum of Peace and Afro Nova Musica), arts and crafts, a children’s pavilion,…
What is your heaven?
Erika had given up on being an artist. She retired as a puppeteer at the age of 27 and now focused most of her attention on writing advertisements for a company that she hated. Last year, on the second day of summer, she fell in love with a gifted musician named Jacob. After two weeks…
Jason Collett brings the sun
Though he’s best known as a member of Broken Social Scene, Jason Collett has been making solo records for a decade. He’s got eight of them now, most available on Toronto major indie Arts & Crafts, and he’s one of those guys with a lot of songs you don’t realize you know until he’s there…
Visual arts
To July 8 Sounding Selves Immerse yourself in Dalhousie University’s Sounding Selves, an exhibition sure to induce a sensory overload of the best sort. Artists explore subject matter ranging from the inaudible sounds of bats, an air raid warning sung by a Vienna Boy’s Choir treble, to the musicality of language itself, providing a broad…
Get out of town: The sand and s’mores edition
Although there are a few options within city limits, they come with a risk of superhero-like mutation so the preference is always a weekend getaway—with this (nowhere near exhaustive) list in your pocket of some of Nova Scotia’s best camping and beach options, you’ll be itching to pack up your tent or bathing suit (in…
Minglewood endures
Digging through the thousands of albums at the Halifax Record Fair a few weeks ago, the same names kept coming up in the flip: Springsteen, Zeppelin, Supertramp, Fleetwood Mac. And Matt Minglewood. In a town with so many bands, and so many enduring locals, it’s easy to forget a legend walks amongst us every day.…
The Savage truth
Leading mayoral candidate Mike Savage is failing to address the most important issue facing the city he wants to run. A single tweet from mayoral candidate Mike Savage’s Twitter account (@MikeSavageHRM) has got me immensely worried about Halifax’s future. It reads: “Part of an appreciative crowd at a Tribute to Fred MacGillivray..put on by St.…
Top 5 apps for camping
iBird Explorer Canada 99¢ (limited time), by Mitch Waite Group You don’t have to be a serious birdwatcher to enjoy iBird. Actually, it’s probably better if you’re not already a bird nerd, because then you won’t be mad about the app rendering the hobbyist’s hours of study and fieldwork obsolete. When you see a bird,…
Hopping along with Dartmouth Players
You know you’ve got a hit on your hands when the laughter is as long, loud and frequent as it was the other night at the Dartmouth Players’ production of A Flea in Her Ear. This “French romp” was written in 1907, but proves great farce is funny in any era. First-time director Mike Tobin…
Deadline, Haligonians!
Halifax marks the 263rd anniversary of its founding, or “birthday,” exactly at 12:29:41am A.D.T. on June 21, 2012—this Thursday. Should Halifax celebrate? Some anniversaries or birthdays represent milestones; others pose deadlines. The verdict? Deadline, Haligonians. The natal horoscope of Halifax, dated June 21, 1749; at 10:00am L.M.T., contains Saturn and Pluto, both in Retrograde Scorpio.…
Belle EPIC
In 1999, amateur athlete Tim Chesnutt was working out at the gym when he noticed an interesting posting on the bulletin board. A triathlon was being held in the local area, and Chesnutt volunteered to hand out water during race day. “The first third of the people ran by and they were just gone. Then…
Welcome to summer
There’s something about summer. Even if you are not an enthusiast of this specific season (cough), there’s a certain undeniability about its aura, its images, what it evokes and inspires. No other three-month period makes you rewatch movies that take place within it specifically because they do, nor would you ever say in February “Let’s…
The rings
Are you excited to become briefly emotionally attached to freakishly athletic individuals simply on account of their nationality as they compete in games of which you don’t know the rules? I know I am. There’s something instinctual about caring, even a little, about the Olympics—even the staunchest sports Luddite will admit they might tune in.…
Visitors’ lounge
Bruce the rickshaw puller How many of your passengers are from out of town? This year, I’ve only had out of town passengers. At Buskers it’s more Halifax or Nova Scotian people, but tourists when cruise ships come and stuff. Where are most of them from? The cruise ship here today is from the States,…

Park plays
As such an incredibly good-looking person, I’m never surprised to be asked, “Kat, how do you stay in such great shape?” (Note: No one has ever actually asked me this.) Though unbidden, I am now happy to tell you my secret: Theatre. I know that some of you may be skeptical about this and believe…

Summer lovin’ special report
Preparation is key Wisdom from a woman who digs women, the melty Georgia Richards. It’s summertime, and the ladies are out in full force. And you, my dear queer sex-machine, love every one of them. You, like myself and every other lesbian, encounter the same dilemma each summer: How do I pick up ladies? Step…
Free Will Astrology
Every 10,000 years or so, reports the Weekly World News, hell actually does freeze over. A rare storm brings a massive amount of snow and ice to the infernal regions, and even the Lake of Fire looks like a glacier. “Satan himself was seen wearing earmuffs and making a snowman,” the story says about the…
Brave
Red-headed Merida (Kelly Macdonald), the protagonist of the latest Pixar animated feature, is a refreshing take on a princess—a girl who’d rather shoot arrows than surrender to her fate and marry the spawn of a fellow Scottish clan to retain peace both in the kingdom and with her mother, Elinor (Emma Thompson). Merida starts trouble…
Theatre
To June 30 Dartmouth Players A Flea in Her Ear Throughout the year, the hardworking volunteers at Dartmouth Players produce a wide variety of affordable, accessible plays. The last show of this season is a classic turn-of-the-century farce about a jealous wife who (wrongly) suspects her husband is unfaithful. Expect dazzling costumes, a myriad of…
Seeking a Friend for the End of the World
A heartfelt road trip where everyone dies, Seeking a Friend for the End of the World offers a poignant take on armageddon. Plans to stop an asteroid have failed, leaving humanity with three weeks to embrace its worst impulses before impact.

Minutemen to win it
DC Comics and Darwyn Cooke’s Before Watchmen: Minutemen, gets away from the good guy versus bad guy trope and tells a well-crafted story of human struggle. by Kathleen Higgins Peter Parker was motivated by the knowledge of the great responsibility that comes with great power. Bruce Wayne became Batman because of the tragic death of…
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
With a title like Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, one might expect a tongue-in-cheek movie, obsessed with its own one-joke irony. Refreshingly, and confusingly, director Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted) treats the absurd premise with intense seriousness. Not that that makes it a good movie or anything. Based on the same-titled novel by screenwriter Seth Grahame-Smith, AL:VK follows…
Cheese Curds’ service with a smile
One dark January morning, the manager of a Wendy’s or a Burger King—or maybe even a Subway—woke up with a start, a bad feeling buzzing like an alarm in the pit of her stomach. When she got to work, she said hello to Justin. He made a funny joke, feet shuffling, eyes never quite meeting…
Bowled over by Blake
There’s a sense of calm in Judy Blake’s Quiet Beauty. Perhaps it’s the mixture of the warm colours on her large pottery pieces that gives her work a deep sense of wonder and discovery. Blake cleverly uses shades of light and bright colours to contract with her neutral tones to create a soft aesthetic to…
Kestrels make History
Two of the first albums Chad Peck owned were Hayden’s Everything I Long For and Ash’s 1977. Fourteen-year-old Peck’s mind might have been a little bit blown if he’d been able to predict how these early purchases would connect to his own band, Kestrels, in adulthood. First, Kestrels’ second full-length, A Ghost History, was just…
Sun screen
July 27-August 24 al Fresco Film festo Like last year’s Bill Murray bonanza, the Atlantic Film Festival’s annual waterfront fest features a single actor as well: Johnny Depp. While we would’ve liked to see Benny & Joon or Crybaby, we’re very happy to report there are no damn Pirates. The schedule: Edward Scissorhands (July 27),…
Home is where the heart is
Local. It’s probably the best word to sum up country/folk musician Morgan MacDonald. From Chester, Nova Scotia, MacDonald’s releasing his debut EP Back to the Wilderness in Halifax on June 27. And he’s not short on local influence. “I really enjoy what’s happening locally,” MacDonald says. “As much as there’s bands from all over the…
Open hearts, open farms
“The idea is to give people who want to express themselves in poetry a place where they could send it.

OHForgery is a free, monthly collection…
