Ruffled Feathers, Pumpkin Carving, Handsketch + Keyboard Practice

This was a long and eventful day. Starting at around 11PM the previous night: The Ruffled Feathers at the Backstage Lounge on Granville Island. They were absolutely amazing. Can't believe it was the first time I've heard then after knowing about them for so long!!

Technically the above picture was taken past midnight, so... :P And then, on Thursday afternoon, I dropped by pumpkin carving at HCT. This was Tricia and Ling's creation:

Check out the stop motion video :)

And then, later that evening: first rehearsal with Nicolas and his Handsketch at Ryerson. Did some improvisation, instrument trading, and practiced our first piece: Handle's Violin Sonata VI

Laptop Orchestra Rehearsal

This has been wayyy to much fun for us...

See Dr Bob's zanzithophone in the background :)

Its a book

That is all.

the band, 13

The awesome people in the band for 13. It was great playing with you guys!

An eventful Saturday that involved Longboat race in the morning, bike ride to campus to see the sunset with Gabe, Ian and Bruce, and then The Madwoman of Chaillot put on by UBC Theatre. Perfect day.

13, the musical

Took a short, spontaneous gig with Awkward Production's 13, the first production for this new non-profit company. It was originally put on during the Fringe festival, and then voted for Pick of the Fringe. Then the company decided to do an extended run at the Norman Rothstein Theatre over Thanksgiving weekend. Due to some shuffling I ended up playing guitar instead of keyboard, but it was still awesome! Had the music and lines stuck in my head for a long time afterwards :)
