“Your birthday is a special time to celebrate the gift of 'you' to the world.”

I met Larry my first year of university. It was pretty memorable night. I was working  for the school’s tv show, and Larry and I were sent to interview a band that was a little too old to be touring the university campus circuit under the pretext of “new music night”. The band was enjoying a small amount of success, and it had gone to their heads. Larry managed to kill that pretty quickly. Instead of entering the interview knowing about as much as you could gather from a quick scan of google, Larry decided to just walk in and ask them instead.
“ What’s the name of your band again?”
“ Can’t you just sing me a little bit of your song? 
I might know who you are if I hear the song.”
It was awkward.
Hilariously awkward.
Thankfully, he hasn’t changed much.
Larry is also one of the main reasons I picked Busan. He was already in Korea teaching English and assured me it barely ever snowed there. Oh Korea, have I mentioned how much I miss you lately?
Ah ... but back to Larry.
Larry had a birthday.
We celebrated.

Ever wonder how many gummy bears you can fit in your mouth?
Larry can do about 50.
Then we all headed over to Koreatown for a little singing.




Just like old times we brought our own booze ...
 

... and just like old times we got yelled at.
It was fun.

Lhasa

By day they are my best good friends.

 But at night, 
I had to push past the tall kids so I could get a better look.


Their dreamy songs entranced us all. 




And now you can enjoy them too.
They’ve just put together their first album, and it’s kind of amazing.

    You can buy it here, and buy it you should.
The Ruby special?

Dear Mr. Duffield,

My last night in Busan ....

 
 ...Mr. Jeff Duffeild bought 2 disposable cameras.
1 for him.
1 for me. 


Since that sad day I've carried this little thing around with me everywhere I go....
... to the airport when I left Korea...


.. and around Bruce County ...




... it even tagged along while the little tree became aquainted with Canada ...




.... and then made it over to Portland ...



... and it even made some new friends ...


... but I never forgot about those amazing kids back in Busan ...



 Those are mine.
Let's see yours Mr.Duffield.

ruby coloured camera

I once had a little red camera,
that made everything appear a little more debaucherous and strange ......







... It was fun.

Mr.Korea

You know how sometimes the universe has a wonderful way 
of opening up and giving you exactly what you want, exactly when you need it?

Say hi to Sol.


Isn't he pretty?

We found it.

a little help from your friends

Sometimes bad things happen to lovely people.
Itta plays in a band called 10 .
She busted up her shoulder while on tour in the States.
We tried to help.

If you gave us your money,
we gave you booze


... music ...


...  a gorgeous sunny day ...


.. and some chalk ..




Remember Rachel?
Look what she made.
Recognize anyone?
