The Epic Journey of Sean Aiken
 Sean Aiken, the bloke who worked a different job every week for a year will be at the Inlet Theatre this Wednesday April 16 to talk about what it was like to work 52 different jobs in a year. Word on the street is that he might show some videos and such. I'm a huge fan of his project and can't wait to see what he's got to say. Not sure if he's going to bring that drum set, but I'm sure you can email him and put in a special request. What I did each week for a year... http://www.oneweekjob.com/ Sean is now working on a documentary of his experience. Check out the radio broadcast: http://www.oneweekjobmovie.com/interview-on-freshfm-in-london-ontario/
Don't miss Kyle MacDonald!
 Kyle MacDonald captured the world's attention when he set out to trade a single red paper-clip for a house. Fourteen trades and countless stories later, he succeeded. His remarkable journey illustrates the importance of having a vision, building relationships and thinking bigger. Keynote Speaker Soho Business Conference Wednesday Oct 15, 9:30am - 4:30 pm at the Fairmont Hotel Georgia Str Vancouver http://www.soho.ca/sohosme/overview/featured_keynote_van.asp How I sold a red paper clip and acquired a house... http://www.oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com/
There are doers and then there are tellers. I guess I'm a little of both.

The Waterlillies ~ A Meditative Masterpiece The Waterlillies is more than an exquisite and universally appealing traditional masterwork.
The significance of this work of art is more than simply a snapshot of nature in that waterlillies allude to the unseen of dark waters, the beauty of life, and the light that supports us. The gift of the lotus flower, whose unseen roots are transformed from the subterranean murk of the unknown to the beauty of light in a quiet pond floating as if in air, becomes very spiritual in nature.

Larger Than Life Drawing Group ~ Symbiotica The group show running at the White Rock Arts Council at Windsor Square, 90-1959 152 Street in South Surrey BC from July 3 to 31, 2008 took on a transformational subject in the theme of "symbiosis."
 Each of the 20 artists represented displayed their personal visions of what symbiosis personifies to them individually and as a collective. The group has been meeting weekly in the south Surrey area to draw from a live model for over 15 years. The insights gained into our human condition are both intimate and contemplative. Here are some examples of the art that was on display :
Iambic Symbiotic ~ Conceptual Work by Lucan Charchuk July, 2008
 Speaking for the artist's process and the co-creative nature of the group Lucan Charchuk's conceptual piece titled "iambic symbiotic" portrays an empty picture frame except for the representation of a business card with a picture of one of his art commissions floated in the center of the glass. Only visible to the viewer upon treating this like a three dimensional piece, does one understand the back of the card to contain a second business card design used to co-promote the Seventh Heaven Hair Gallery and Bio Salon which houses works by two resident local artists Dale Ramsey and himself, Lucan Charchuk. The message on the card invites the viewer to "envision" an image of their own with which to fill the empty frame in the form of a future commission. Accompanying the framed assemblage, is a poem by the same title:
Iambic Symbiotic ~ A Short Synopsis
I am symbiotic Nature or nurture, process in progress I love, I love… we labour in love, We will have will; Dare to dream... Cling to things, have feelings feed off other things
Envision, none of the above; “what is your attachment to this stone?” Says a voice not unlike that from the heavens.
“Lichen, moss unto a forest”
...how’s that working for you? “Can you walk on water?” Algae says to a pond; I grasp the stone feeling hopeless Cling to a cliff, feeling helpless, lost and alone That is so two-dimensional ! ~ I am working on... A new piece of stone, white alabaster I see the mouth of Venus exposed like the moon Swallows the earth; I am dark and alone What’s the attraction? Incidentally, symbiosis is not co-dependent, Albeit we are able to co-habit; Life is a one-way street, The energy flows out of it; It can be parasitic or co-habitational Or mutually beneficient; It is self-gratifying We are independently interdependent, Otherwise invisible, Dancing on solid air; Transforming form Please fill this frame with negative space, “glass or air?” ~ one is visible, The other, there

Taoist Inner Tube Rider ~ A Book of Poetry and Song by Virginia Gillespie Announcement: Poetry Book and CD Release from Crescent Beach Author Reminder: April is National Poetry Month 'Poetry Without Borders'
 "I am delighted to announce the publication of Taoist Inner Tube Rider , A Collection of Poetry and Songs with accompanying CD" ~ Virginia Gillespie.
Author Pages www.trafford.com/07-2096
ISBN 978-1-4251-4849-2 Like the flow of water, this lyrical ride born by word, sound and image overcomes all obstacles
Cover Lucan Charchuk; Sound Mix Peter Tennant; Vocals and Music Sharon Rosie Flannagan, Steve Chitty, Mickey Hovan, Peter Tennant, Virginia and Gerard Le Feuvre; select photographs Ann Greenfield and Virginia Gillespie.
About the Book
"It is natural to sing and dance poetry. What is not natural is to bury poems in skinny books lined up on dusty shelves." V.G.
Taoist Inner Tube Rider began as a metaphor to describe the author's style of writing that has evolved into a book and CD. It is created to bring the words alive and to inspire people to engage with poetry.
Through word, sound and image revelations are presented as a lyrical journey through time and as a cyclical ride through nature. The writing spans four decades. The geographies are desert, forest, waterways, and sky represented in wind, weather and sound waves.
A woman rides through them all - flowing through vistas and deep feelings to find meaning and purpose. Her insights and longing are transformed into a resolve to live life fully, at peace with the Great Mystery.

Capilano Suspension Bridge ~ North Vancouver, BC
 The Capilano Suspension Bridge is Vancouver’s oldest tourist attraction, having been built in 1889. Standing on a shaky bridge 226 feet above the canyon floor, attached only by small cables, still delivers the same thrills that it did over a century ago. 135 meters (443 feet) long, a footbridge made of long cedar plank and steel cable is suspended across the gorge, while below the bridge is the Capilano River, where visitors can sometimes see kayakers or salmon in the waters below.

Forget the Capilano suspension bridge, here's El Chorro at El Camino del ray! Originally built in 1901, this walkway now serves as an aproach to makinodromo, the famous climbing sector of El Chorro.

PFM have always been a great prog rock band (classically trained) to rival the likes of Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull or Emerson Lake and Palmer. The pioneer of Italian Progressive Rock, PREMIATA FORNERIA MARCONI is one of the leaders of the 70s prog movement. PFM developed a style of melodic and instrumental richness, which is uniquely Italian while maintaining links with the rest of the prog world. Lyrical, romantic, delicate music played with finnesse. Their sumptuous compositions and arrangements are sometimes compared with early King Crimson, yet unlike any other in their class. Listen to the sailing skies of fall in Impressions of September...

A Lady in a Green Wood Stood Confronting in Hersself With Age...
 From the 2004 movie... King Arthur
Song For A Winter's Night ~ by Gordon Lighfoot sung by Sarah MacLaughlin Right-click link to open video in new window: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbgfXp5M02M
"Finally a Gordon Lightfoot song I can stand to listen to and a face in him that romanticizes the real troubador in knightly fashion of a Lancelot. Sure lightfoot wrote it, but it only has essence when brought to the heights of chivalry in valiant King Arthur fashion. Lightfoot was a knight of sorts, a Don Quixote chasing words, the depths of which remain unseen... until a woman's touch can bring it's spirit out of dreams into reality to the screen to soothe a lonely soul..." ~ Luke 10:11-07

A soul stood before me black as coal My eyes blind with rain The cold mass of mountains loomed gathered like scars in the soul of life, writhing in pain. They had the sweep of the sea; Crescendo-ing, reaching deep into new heights, But they had never fathomed me, the méme of time, The soft hills had never battled with the cross-currents of life, They had never fought some hungry hearts on charging surf pouring in torrents, wind-tossed, The soul had done this... I beheld its work.

Premier for Cameo
Open your eyes! Gather up your old school drinking buddies, then take a walk on Saturday evening on Granville from Davies to Robson; What do you see? These are your supporters. These are the pawnbrokers who voted you in to the office of Premier of this fair province; Then go down Robson past the Vancouver Art Gallery, VAG-ely familar? See that there is more culture resting on its public stairs than has ever in its history hung on its walls. Upon viewing the exhibit, you may proceed to the lobby of the Fairmont Hotel and pick up your free copy of the "Financial Times"
It's lessez faire on drunken leaders!

Have a happy St. Patrick's there, you old goof ball! bravo!

Well then - there is the weather, the 'aging' process of the sea, the wanton sunlight's subtle changes and ions of energy! Absinthe of the absent guru... soma...somtimes... sleep, change in the dominion of money and actually, i don't want to be married i just want to be merry! A hairdresser is just a hair away from a perfect cut A nurse is like the mother we never had, butt since you're drawing to conclusions I recite my mid-life crisis man-aging process in inequity 'They' have stolen sunlight from all the ancient places, placed it here before the gods they worship Adam's daughters, who cradle civilizations in the lapse of Christianity the Father Son and Holy Spirit together with the cherubim in heaven with the seraphim Oh, dear angels, "Try and save us!"
