I have to make more Le Look videos. the "sang sur la glace" one was really fun to make. we made it really fast. all in one day start to finish. I've been trying to spread the word that I can make a $500 video for bands. I have two lined up for the summer. But I'd love to do one a week. It's way too fun working with artists and trying to make something on the fly.
The show at nxne was fun. Andrew Fraser played guitar with me after a very quick once-over of the songs. He kept things mellow which was nice. People were really nice at the show. It was a really fun festival. The bands were awesome. kind of hard to believe they transformed dundas square into a venue for iggy pop and mudhoney and x.

I directed a video for "Sang sur la glace" from our Le Look album. It stars Georges Laraque (NHL Oilers, Canadiens)and me chasing after him for an autograph. Kara Blake was cinematographer.
We don't have any shows booked for Le Look other than a battle of the bands this summer, in Montreal. And we don't have a label for the album yet. Still looking. Meanwhile, 11 videos for 11 songs- coming up.
come and see my folk music show this sunday at the sidewalk cafe in nyc. 11pm.

I have a show coming up in Toronto for NXNE. I'm running an ad for my music video services. $500 for a web video. I made an inexpensive video for The World Provider and it was really fun to do, so I'm into making more for other people.

I was thinking about it'd be cool to put on a festival in this place near shawinigan that's a re-creation of a sort of D and D village, but have good bands and stuff. And there's good camping and swimming nearby. But I don't know the first thing about putting on a show. But I find like the booming systems at outdoor summer festivals really take away from the music, and it'd be cool to make one on a small scale. Loud isn't always the barometer of good rocking. Like if the stooges were playing, and half the sound system went out, it would still be a great show. I'll start looking into it.

I'm going to play another show at the sidewalk cafe in NYC Sunday, may 30 at 11 pm
It was great to see all the cherry blossoms and magnolia trees the last time I went. It was a trip playing in the states after staying away for so long.
