Calgary: The City of Winners & Losers

I'm back "home" for Christmas. Yes, I'm in Calgary...the city of only two type of folk: WINNERS and LOSERS. Cowboys and Indians. Do it yourself-ers and lazy ol' bums.

I arrived on Thursday, and immediately filled up that weekend with two Theatre Junction shows hosted by Peter Moller (Calgary) and Dave Clark (Toronto). Sunday evening was the 10th anniversary show of the Rembetika Hipsters. We played the Engineered Air Theatre @ the Epcor Centre for Performing Arts. It was a beautiful evening.

To continue feeling like a WINNER, I am now doing lots of competitive swimming with my Actuarial Analyst sister, Elisabeth Dajczer (B,SC-Math & B.SC-Phys.) and her Masters Club. Just got back from swimming and cannot stop thinking about the workout...

4 x 100 meters freestyle (I wonder if being a winner in Montreal translates itself to naturally being a winner in Calgary)

4 x 75 meters kick (If some creative people in Montreal are dependent on welfare, would they be classified as losers in Calgary, even though they're signed to a record label? What if they're not on welfare, and they're not signed to a label?)

16 x 25 meters IM (Why doesn't anybody in Calgary know who Didier Lockwood is?)

Well, I am enjoying soaking in the winner attitude, and at this very moment...I am seriously considering getting a business degree to give me an edge over my competitors. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Happy Holidays!

Andrea Revel @ The Green Room

Andrea Revel is hosting her residency tonight. This event happens one Monday a month and features her amazing song writing talents along with special guests from a variety of backgrounds. Last month, I had the chance to accompany her. Here's a couple of pictures from that evening.

This month, she's got Sage Renolds on the bass and Joellen Housego on the violin. Jade will be starting off the evening. I know it's a little late to be annoucing this, but there will be more monday nights in the new year, along with twelve more months. So if your curiosity is peaked, check out Andrea Revel's web site: www.andrearevel.com and her myspace site: www.myspace.com/andrearevel
