I'm performing a set of electronic sound art at Art's Birthday, coming up this Saturday at the Collins Gallery (11741 94 St.) under my nom-de-plume kirmeve. And if you're heading that way, be sure to check out the Deep Freeze Festival. My set should be done just in time for the fireworks!

I went to City Centre Mall for the exhibit The Art of Banksy: Without Limits. I know of Banksy as a street artist but appreciated learning more about his installations and other visual artistic as hacking classic paintings and pop art, as well as the themes of social justice in his work. #yeg

I visited Maisie's Magical Christmas House on the north side of Edmonton in 2011 for the first and only time, until tonight. Alberta Views published a photo I took back in 2011 in their December 2025 issue and it inspired me to go back and take some updated shots.

Chanukah celebrations at Beth Israel Synagogue, where I ate lots of latkes, gorged on jelly doughnuts, watched the menorah be lit, and took pictures. Special cameo appearance by my emotional support octopus. #yeg #jewish #judaism #chanukah #menorah
