But seriously. We finished on Monday, and we ended as we began, ironically of course — with a visit from the local PD. Stephan MacLeod AKA Windom Earle opened the show with some karaoke skillz. He chose to do Kelly Clarkson‘s “Since U Been Gone.” What’s unclear is if he already knew what that song […]

The heavy handed rule that students aren’t allowed to wear hoodies at Citadel High deserves the news coverage it’s getting today. But a look at the school’s student handbook reveals a regulation that will be even harder to obey. Under the heading “GENERAL BEHAVIOURAL EXPECTATIONS” the fourth point says “We will keep high traffic areas […]

This morning CBC radio broadcast from the new Community College in Dartmouth. Much was made of the new building’s eco-friendly design and operation which, according to a press release from the college, includes: 98% recycled material in the drywall Extensive use of local products Thermally efficient walls and windows Natural light in public areas Energy […]

My day starts with a trip to Mic Mac Mall where I find a Herald and see that Stephen Pedersen, who was even there on opening night and not the meh night, has shot a big hole in the show. He really did not dig it at all. “It is a musical, we are the […]

AUGUST 31 I know 90 percent of the sold out audience, stacked full of the cast’s family members and Coast employees. Every joke hits, every song, uh, sings. Amelia’s tossing in beats and hip swings I’ve never seen before, and Matt L has made the audience his bitch. (So, for that matter, has Matt C. […]

JUNE 6 I drop a note to Chuck Teed: “If I wrote a Law & Order musical for the Fringe, would you write the music?” The reply comes back within minutes: “Fucking right I would.” JULY 18The mail brings news that the musical got accepted. I don’t have a script and only two half-attached actor-musicians. […]

A woman working alone at an all-night Ultramar gas station in Dartmouth was assaulted early Tuesday morning. The event rightly made the news, as the attack was particularly ugly — the woman was reportedly raped, had her throat slit “from ear to ear” and was left for dead — and raised important issues of protection […]

Dear Celine, cut your little boy’s hair please. No rat-tails or faux-hawks either, no matter how much little (or big) Rene-Charles begs. Be strong like I know you can, you warrior, and pick up those shears! Be a role-model for the hirsute children of Michael Jackson, Kate Hudson, Elle Macpherson and Cindy Crawford. You can […]

I yell about a lot of things, but I don’t have the fight in me for much. Yet I get really, really pissed about the state of women and cinema. How women are represented on film, why we’re not marketed to more often when “women’s pictures” are almost always cheap to make and hugely successful […]

They’ve updated The Simpsons avatar creator that was all the rage a few weeks ago. Now nerds like us can pick out their glasses (sort of), so Moon doesn’t have to Photoshop them on, and they also let you download it instead of taking a screenshot. You can also upload your face and have it […]

Tonight’s Joel Plaskett/Peter Elkas/Jenn Grant show is a go no matter what the weather. Jenn’s on at 8:30, Elkas at 9:15 and Plaskett at 10.
