3 hour wait, but a great time on the is land.

Back from the island and all the holiday joy. Had a good time with the family, but we had reservations for the 9pm ferry, got there at 7:30. We waited, and then there was an announcement "Ferry will arrive at the terminal at 9:55." So we didn't board the ferry until 10pm. We got home at 12:30. I hate Ferries. There's no excuse to be late. I mean it's their job, I'm not asking them to build spaceships or make the cure for cancer or anything. Just want them to be on time. No one would take the ferries if they could, everyone knows it's just a pain. It just makes me think a bridge is a great idea.

Besides the hold up we enjoyed ourselves. I hope you all had a great day and evening.

BUT seriously... STOP with the food, I love it so much, but just stop putting it in my face.. I can't help it. I'll eat it...

AND NO MORE CHOCOLATE NEXT YEAR..

Love you all.

Yes... It's True! It's Chris. T. Mas

So here it is. Merry Christmas! I'm so happy to be off of work for a consecutive 3 days. So far the snow hasn't come back for the holiday. I'm a little sad about it. I would like it to snow on Christmas again. So Jenn and I are going to the island on Monday morning to stay with my parents for the evening and back on Tuesday night. I've never traveled ON Christmas day before, but apparently no one does so it shouldn't be too manic getting to Duncan. I just managed to get my last Christmas presents today, a little late I know, but I didn't have any money until today, so I had to budget it out. I love Christmas just not being broke. It seems like I had more money when I was younger to spend on presents. Or maybe I'm just getting cheaper in my old age.

I'm taking the bus now more then I ever had as a kid. I take it to work, and it hasn't been too bad, but the big problem with the bus is that I always want it to come right away. Not like 10 minutes or 30. Whenever the bus driver feels like coming. I know it's not a lot of money to take the bus, but It still slow and I'm just not use to it. I do enjoy not having to sit in traffic though.

Not sure what Jenn and I are doing tonight, but there is wrapping for me to do, and there seems to always be knitting for Jenn to do. So we might just stay in and do nothing. Could be a nice change. It's a little strange that it's a Saturday night though.. doesn't feel like one at all. I hope you all have a wonderful break and Christmas... eat and feel Merry. Just make sure she's drunk enough first.

Hark.. I hear Christmas.

De Dutch panaCanuck house on a Wednesday

Wednesday! My day off. I love De Dutch! Jenn and I came this morning for food and coffee. It's right by our house at 16th and Oak. If you've never been to one I advise it. But really the only good one is ours. I've been coming here for 5 years, and they know what I like to eat and they all know my name. Ha! I sound like a loser, but it's really a nice feeling. We've lived in this area for a few years now, and I love it. I originally come from the North Shore, and when I lived there, I thought Downtown and uptown were a foreign country. Now after living here for a while I can't imagine living anywhere else.

So I finally have all my evenings free... Hmmm so strange. It's a little unnerving having nothing to do. I feel like I'm late for something all the time, and that I'm not getting stuff done. I'm happy to get to see the Canucks struggle to be a hockey team more often now though. They won their game last night with a convincing win over Phoenix. Not exactly a hard team to beat, and our record against them is almost perfect, but still for us to score more then 2 goals a game was a bit of a relief. Everyone played well Morrison had a strong game where he was taking chances and looking more comfortable in his skates then I've seen for a long time. There were strong contributions on the blue line too, especially Bieksa who had a strong game and a hot point shot all night. Bulis also contributed with his 3rd goal in 3 games, and almost added a 4th. Linden who has been under fire a bit this season because he is a poster child for the troubles the Canucks have had this year, had a strong game also. I thing that Trevor had actually had a very strong showing this season despite the paycut, the reduced ice time, and lack of goals. He has been finishing checks, making smart plays, and he's skating well. People forget sometimes what an amazing playmaker, and passer he is. He sees the ice really well. My only wish is that he take the glory sometimes and shoot when he had the chance. He was looking for the pass all night last night, and at times it was a good idea, and others it wasn't the best thing. He needs to use his size and hands to get those pucks in the goal himself and take the glory a bit more.. but maybe that the whole thing about trevor we like, he's always been a shadow to the greatness that a team can be. Just picking his moments and choosing the "right" thing to do.

So maybe a show this Spring. I'm trying to produce something soon, so I'll keep you all updated on the idea soon. Hope you're all well and getting that shopping done! I only got ONE suggestion for gifts from the last blog.. so come on people tell me what your getting people.. I need HELP!

A little snow, and the end of a show.

Well my voice is back! Yay! I haven't been that sick for so long. So I'm thrilled that it's over. But it's too bad that Fiddler is now over. What a great show. I was so proud to be involved with a great cast and crew. It also looks as though the audiences were pretty big too. Thanks to everyone that came out to see it. It really means a lot for you to support community theatre.

So it's snowing. HA! I don't remember the last time it snowed this much let alone in November. I have to admit though that I love snow, it makes it feel like Christmas. Just a little too early this year. I would like it to be a white Christmas just once, and maybe this will be the year. Jenn and I went to dinner tonight at a local place just up the street on Oak called "The Best Neighborhood Restaurant." Not bad food for super cheep, and we walked in the snow. It was so nice, a little cold on the face, but I hope we can do that more while the snow lasts. HEY! and what's the big deal with using an umbrella in the snow? It's still wetness falling from the sky, and the umbrella can keep you dryer. People give me a hard time about it, but I just don't get it.. can someone explain that to me?

I have to now get all my shopping done so I don't stress about presents this year. I wish I was an early shopper, but I just don't do it. I'll get some done soon.

Jenn and I finally watched The Da Vinci Code tonight. I read the book so long ago now I had almost forgot it all. It was quite good actually. I enjoy mystery/history movies and books. I watch Documentaries all the time, and I used to love this show called "Mysteries of the Bible" on A & E. I've never been religious, but I love the mystery of religion, so much I actually thought about being a religious scholar just to work on solving the unknown mysteries in the bible. Maybe one day... HAHA.. right after I write my first symphony. Hope you're all well. Let me know what you all are getting your parents/significant others for Christmas.. I need some ideas.

Piece

Where's my voice?

I hate loosing my voice. Wow it's the worst feeling. It's such a part of life that we take for granted. I hope it returns soon.

So Quintessence Musicals had their fundraiser last night, and it was a lot of fun. Guilty Pleasure played and I was so upset cause I couldn't sing at all, but it was fun anyway. Jenn sang and she was great, I was so proud of her she really was awesome. I hope that they were successful making some money for the company. Also my student Emily came and sang "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" I wanted her to have the experience of singing with a band. That is something she really wants to do, so I'm really happy she got the chance to sing.

Fiddler is going into it's last week now, and my parents and brother are coming to see it on Wednesday night. I hope they like it. And I hope that if you haven't seen it yet you'll come out and support a great cast.

I'm very happy about not doing anything this evening, it's been nice to just not talk and just watch some TV. But I realized that I haven't eaten anything for dinner, so I might just make my way to the Subway and get a sub... I'll let you know how it went.

A great show, and thanks to some great people!

What a great show tonight. After a show last night where I didn't have any trumpets or a flute, having all the orchestra there tonight makes a huge difference. The show was much tighter too. The cues were picked up faster, and the scene changes were better. Please come see the show you'll love it.

So I'm producing for Footlight Theatre next year, and we are in the midst of applying for the rights for a few shows. I'm really looking forward to helping out such a great company. They gave me my first music directing job, and I'm proud to say that this is my 5th year MDing for them. It's going to be a little overwhelming stepping into some pretty big shoes following Pam's departure as producer, but I'm happy for the challenge. I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to Pam, and Jim for all their tireless hard work and focus. They are the heart of Footlight theatre, and it will be difficult to see them go, but they deserve the break. I'm proud to just know these two people, they gave me a chance without knowing me very well, and they have gone far above the call of duty to make Footlight Theatre a group that everyone creative should wish to be a part of. Thanks you so much.

So everyone please come and audition for the show next year.. whatever it may be.. I will post and let you all know when we get the okay for the show.

Thanks to everyone in the cast of Fiddler for doing such a great job, it's getting better, and I'm proud for this to be my last Footlight MD job.. for a while anyway. Well I'm off to sleep and back to work at Long and McQuade. Come on in to the hastings store and say hi if you can.

later.

2 Shows complete.. and a lack of scoring.

2 shows done, and a matinee today before we take a break until Wednesday night. The opening and 2nd show of Fiddler went very well, we had 2 great audiences and everything went off well. Well almost everything. Besides the usual theatre hi-jinks that happen, the closing scene of opening night had it's own crazy moment. As Tevye leaves with his cart at the end of the show he is supposed to pause and see the "Fiddler" as he plays the familiar tune. As we were coming to this part, I realized that Tevye was going to get to his mark earlier then usual so I indicated to the orchestra that we are going to end early... just as I did that the cart Tevye pulls crashed, the wheels and axle came right out from under it!! so the orchestra kept vamping, and there was this moment... it felt like it could have been a few years by the time is was over. Finally Motel (Dan Wilhelm) came to help him out trying to put this cart together again. It was a lost cause with just 2 of them though, it's a big cart. So the 2 of them decided it was best to just leave the hulking disaster and exit. Luckily some of the audience thought it was part of the show.. somehow this was another one of God's little tricks he plays on poor Tevye. Maybe it was... Other then that moment the shows have been great. I'm so proud of everyone. This is a hard show to do and everyone has really stepped up on this one.

On another note. Those damn Canucks! I love them but I could just kill them. Just one year I would like to be happy about hockey.. just one. I'm almost happy I have to miss watching the games because of the show nights, just so I can miss the pain. Poor Scott Knight keeps taping the games then watching them later. Sorry Scott it's just delaying the inevitable sadness. Well here's hoping for a change in the wind for them. Maybe they will get their D men back soon, and have some scoring materialize!!

COME SEE THE SHOW!

The season

Here I am at Esquire's Coffee (16th & Oak) enjoying my coffee and free internet access thinking about the season. I realize how much I enjoy this time of year. It's cold, bright mostly, and it's closer to Christmas now. I'm glad I live in Vancouver and can enjoy my day off from work. I took Wednesdays off because I'm teaching these days at 2, but at least I can sleep in. So we are in the most entertaining part of theatre production... The last days of Tech. It's painful but necessary. The orchestra is sounding great, but we are just adjusting to fitting into a very small space behind the actors, and in a small house looking set piece. Having 2 trumpets play in your ear is pleasant for about one song, then it's a little hard to deal with. So we open on Friday, and there is another rehearsal tonight, so get your tickets now if you can. And if you can come on a Wednesday it's 5 bucks off, and we will need the audience midweek. Hope you're all doing well and enjoying your own Fall season, maybe with a coffee and computer.... maybe at an Esquire's.. maybe at THIS Esquire's... hey... stop following me.

Fiddler on the Roof is starting soon, and we're in crunch week. The Sitsprobe is tomorrow, and I'm a little stressed about it. Every year has it's orchestra challenges and this one isn't any different. I have found most of the musicians way ahead of time, but there is always one instrument that gives me trouble. Last year it was Violin, but this year it was drums! You would think it would be easy to find a drummer that would be happy to play for some money, but nope, I guess not. So now thanks to our "Fiddler" Renee we might have found one, but he has never seen the music, and I don't even know if he reads or not, and tomorrow is the sitprobe. It's starting to look more like a glorified rehearsal not a sing with the cast. But I was really happy with the last orchestra rehearsal despite the lack of percussion. SO after that great sales job I did for the show, I hope everyone comes to see it. I have never been involved in a production of this show, so I was very happy to find through the rehearsal process that it's becoming one of my favorite shows. I can easily see why it is such a classic. It is such a well written piece of theatre, right from the music to the touching yet funny story. Remember the show runs Wednesday's to Sunday's November 10th to the 26th. Such a great cast too. Come see my Crazy Wife play Fruma Sarah, and we all love that Assalone girl who I'm so proud of. SEE YAS THERE. L'chaim!

Post Birthday, and WTF MySpace?

First off, Thank you to everyone that commented on Blog, it was really sweet and it really made my last few days. Thanks again. Okay so is it just me, or is MySpace possibly the worst designed piece of shit on the net. It's slow, looks like a programmer threw up on his keyboard and acts like the kid in highschool that was so popular and arrogant because he use to bully people only to find out later in life that he is ugly, balding, and in a dead end job. It's unbelievable that a site so disfunctional is so popular. It must be because people just don't know any better. It's too bad it's not like Blogspot, which is beautiful and functional. Oh well.. a little rant for yas. As for me, I've had a great time the last few days. I originally didn't want anyone to know about my birthday, being 29 and all, but now I'm really happy people did find out. I haven't felt this nice on my birthday for a long time, thanks to my friends and Jenn. They really made it seem like I was wanted and important. So last night I played piano and attended the Footlight Theatre's 40th anniversary gala at the Shadbolt Centre. It was great to see a whole bunch of people I haven't seen in a while, and I was one number away from winning some door prizes. Well a gloomy day in Vancouver today, not just because of the weather, but because the Canucks lost last night. Hope you're all having a good day, and if you have big plans on this Saturday have a drink for me. OUT.

B-Day! Post

It's my birthday! I'm kind of happy about it actually. I didn't think I was going to be, but I'm looking forward to going for a walk on the beach in Kits with a coffee, and a book. Sound like a good day to me. I also have to enjoy the weather while I can, it's supposed to turn ugly on Saturday. So think of me.. think of me fondly... the day of my birth. OH and you people should come out and see Dane and me do our lounge gig on Wednesday nights at Chianti's restaurant on Burrard and 4th from 7 to 10pm. Tonight was rocking.

The Kootenay Ice

We have returned from Cranbrook with a new appreciation for the mundane. I have found I like Vancouver more now then just a few days ago. The 3 bars ranch that was our resting place from Friday to Monday morning was beautiful and refreshing in that way that only a rustic setting could be. After returning home on another calm 1 hour and 20 minute flight, I feel that this place is more my style with all it's lattes, traffic and TV. The most tragic of all is the fact that Cranbrook being so close to the Alberta county area, they care not for the Canucks NHL ice hockey team and instead fill their airways with the play-by-play stylings of the Cootney Ice, a junior ice hockey team. Sad. I know. I've also had enough of family for now also, though it was so great to have the opportunity to get closer to family that I haven't been able to know that well. Back at home now, had a huge Alaskan King Crab for dinner with Jenn's family for her dad's birthday. They brought it out alive just for show, and then went back, and cooked the poor sucker... YUM.... Crab. My birthday is coming up on Thursday also, so remember to have a drink for me. A short teaching day tomorrow, then Fiddler rehearsal at night. Until next time. See yah

Cold weather, warm feelings

Sunday morning in Cranbrook, and it's freezing. Michael and Jodie's wedding was yesterday under a beautiful blue sky and warm weather. It was a wonderful ceremony, and it was great to share the day with them and my other relatives. The 3 Bars ranch is beautiful, with log cabins around the perimeter all set in a shallow valley. We have one more evening here and then we are going to go to the airport early tomorrow morning to see if we can fly out earlier then 8pm, which we are booked on. There are only 2 flights out of Cranbrook one at 11:30, and ours at 8pm. So I hope we can get on the stand-by flight. Jenn and I will be home tomorrow, so I can't wait to finally see another Canuck game... I hate having no TV. Hope everyone had a great Thanks Giving, and don't forget to NOT call me on my birthday on the 12th. BYE!

TUTS vs. Chemainus

Okay, so I really wanted to musical direct TUTS this year.. I was so excited, but I didn't know if I was going to be asked to and if it was even going to go ahead. SO that being said, I'm very thrilled to be part of Anything Goes in Chemainus starting in April. I auditioned 2 weeks ago, and I've been offered a chorus part, but more importantly I will be Musical Directing the show also. They want to have the actors in the show also BE the band. Sounds crazy right? Well it is, but also a very interesting challenge, and I'm so excited about it. I'll have to rearrange and teach parts to different actors who have limited skills on different instruments. OH and did I mention, it's a cast of 12! So that means at any given time, I'll maybe if I'm lucky have 3 people playing in the band for a show that's scored for 30 players. It's a little overwhelming at the moment, but we have time, and boy will we need it. The show will have to be pre blocked so we will know who will be on stage at any given time, and who will be available to play in the band, not to mention it's a huge dance show so if they aren't playing, they're dancing. WOW! So I hope everyone will be able to come out and see this crazy thing when it goes up, so wish me luck. Oh and it's a long contract, about 5 months all together, so I'll be living with the parents again... For a while, in Duncan. It will be nice to enjoy island life, but sad because Jenn has to be here to finish up school this year, but I will have time off so I can come back and visit. Well I'm off to Cranbrook tomorrow night for my cousin Michael's wedding. Later.

Check point 1 - October

So it's almost here, my 29th year. October has always been a check point month for me. Yes my birthday is on the 12th, but it's not just because of that. Fall has started, cold usually comes soon, though it's been beautiful so far, and NHL season starts again. But it's always a time for me to reflect on the year that has past. Asking questions..."Did I actually do something worthwhile this year... " Etc. As the years move on, I'm left feeling as though I still don't know what I'm doing, and usually in the past I've been comforted by the knowledge that I'm still young and there is still so much time. But not anymore. As my birthday approaches I am coming to feel that I must make a decision as to my goals and future, and finally stop being the "Jack of all trades" that I am and focus my energy into something more permanent and profitable. I'm so happy for all the wonderful opportunities I have been fortunate enough to have, but now I must make my life actually work for me, and do something. Just one something. Something that I can be sure I'm good at, it's so hard to be objective about ones actual talents. Do you wish we could see ourselves as others do, without bias, and humility? I can only hope that when I choose I will choose right and not have to change horses in the middle of the stream. And I hope that my dreams can actually be a part of my plan, for that is why I'm struggling to make a decision, the fear of letting them go. Dreams though are just pieces though, but maybe that's all they ever are, pieces of the cobblestone, which we use for our path.

Putting to bed a generation!

Oh the sadness of closing a show. It's crazy to think after such a short run, all the time spent and sweat poored that it's over. I leave "Waking Up A Generation" with a heavy heart. I have learned so much, and I'm so greatfull for the opportunity to stretch my creative muscles, and to perform again. But I am also very sad to leave, and to have such an emotional ride. I haven't felt this way since my very first show. I'm so happy with some of the personal relationships that I have forged with some of the cast and crew, but saddened by others relationships which have turned for the worst. I hate doubting that I'm a good person. But I am more confused then I have been in a long time. All I can hope is that time can help with the doubts, and that I can be a little happier again. And all I can think is that it was my fault. Thanks to everyone that came to support us, I'm more appreciative then I can ever express. I hope we can do a show again soon as Ignite!

After Opening Night!

Opening night! Wow, as much as we had prepared for tonight, I never really imagined actually stepping foot on the stage, and doing the show. There is something very surreal seeing something you created up there being said by actors. I think the show was very well received, and everything came together in the end. I’m so proud of everyone involved, everyone shined, and I’m so happy that they were open to doing this show, and working through all the changes along the way. I hope that we have a good audience tonight for the second show, and that they are at least as warm as opening night. After such a crazy day yesterday, it was so nice to just sleep in this morning. Thanks to everyone who came last night, and if you haven’t see it yet, please come tonight or tomorrow!

The first post

I don't know what to say! Here is a blog about me, Chris. If you know me, then you know I like lots of stuff: theatre shows, politics, news, my struggles about being creative, the Canucks, and so on. But right now I am on my honeymoon in Hawaii, and I will go back to reading my novel and dreaming about the mai tai I will have with my dinner...
