Anyone who’s a musician will tell you, you never say ‘no’ to a gig, if your available. You will do it – because you love playing live and it’s always good to flex the music muscles. In this case, I flexed my music muscles and my legs, as I got a last-mintue call to perform at a great Toronto pub called St.James Gate on a Saturday from 9pm – 2am, then slept for 3 hours, and ran 5K for the Toronto Waterfront Scotiabank run. The irony is that because I passed out after the show, I literally ran the 5K with my gig clothes underneath my running attire. I challenge anyone to do this, because it was mad experience. I’m just happy I got my medal without passing out.

On a beautiful fall night in late September I performed for the LocoMobi Company Party. LocoMobi is a cutting-edge tech company located in Toronto’s Liberty Village. For this event I played at the owners residence to his staff and friends. A good time had by all, and found myself in ‘human ipod’ shuffle mode to the max. By the end of the evening, I managed to do a mix of Abba, Tragically Hip, and Beach Boys songs, and a climatic “Dont Stop Believing” which the entire staff sang along too. Damn, wish i had a pic of that (instead of the pre-party setup)!
