Closing night of the record-setting 2025 Calgary Underground Film Festival saw an Eli Craig double-header, and it was the perfect pairing featuring the sold-out Canadian premiere of Clown in a Cornfield.

Check out my mini review over on Substack.

So my favourite localish band has landed in Japan for an amazing tour!

Bad Buddy celebrated with a pre-trip show in Olds and ran through their set plus played a second one just for funsies. Good luck, dudes! Have a fantastic time.

This week The Monkey hits the big screen. Thanks to the Calgary Underground Film Festival, I got a chance to see it a few days early, and I gotta tell you, it's one of the best films I've seen in a while.

Funny, dark, gory, it's definitely worth a watch. So many laughs. So many cringes.

Today's shitty little mental health walk was longer than normal as I was trying to take advantage of the warmth. It also meant it was blustry.

Today's shitty mental health walk brought pigeons exploring if a new build is in their budget, painted rocks scattered throughout the park, some old cars, and lots, and lots of ice.

Yesterday, I touched trees that are hundreds of years old and have seen the greatest of minds walk by. The day before that, I drank and ate in a place built in 947, followed by saying hello to yews that inspired Tolkien and graves of those long forgotten.

I am trying to find hope and be grounded.

It's incredibly unreal being in the UK this week.

So removed yet so many feels.

But today was a coffee and wander day kind of day.

Sometimes, I make little things.

This is my first felting project, and I love him and his Totoro ways. 🌿

It's definitely a good, murderous romp in a season littered with Christmas tales.

Tickets are limited, more dates are added — if you're hoping to see it, you better act fast!

Murder on the Links runs at Vertigo Theatre until December 21, 2024.

Trevor Rueger melts into his role as Hercule Poirot but Javelin Laurence shines as Hastings — definitely an actor to keep watch for!

Heidi Damayo, Todd Houseman, Meg Farhall, and Graham Percy play everyone else. And with Jenna Rodgers directing, it makes for a fun night out.

A Canadian premiere, the production doesn't take itself seriously and the actors have a lot of fun with their multiple hats.

There are some fabulously silly moments where the script calls for more characters than actors and the talented cast adapt to continue to tell the story.

Next up in Vertigo Theatre's season, six actors play over 20 roles in this Agatha Christie adaptation.

Murder on the Links is a light-hearted whodunit and another Poirot adventure. 📷 Fifth Wall Media

I figure skate for joy, I listen to too much music, I love the arts but hate the system, and I'm both non-monogamous and kinky.

Also, I am possibly a monster, but probably a muppet.

This is authentically me.
Hello. 💕
