The Danforth Music Hall in Toronto is a gorgeously appointed theater that was completed in 1919, and seats under 1500 people, and on the evening of September 20, 2013, I settled into my fourth row seat, putting me in spitting distance of the stage (though why would you want to?).

ToyCon – Burlington, September 8th, 2013
Sue and I have loved the ToyCon since our first visit earlier this year. You never know what you’re going to find, what magic and memory lurks in a bin or on a table just around the corner. So it was with great excitement that we piled into a car with our friends David…
Fan Expo Day 4
The great thing about going to cons with Sue Maynard is that we complement each other so well, just like on our show. She’s the schedule, I’m the map, and it works out brilliantly. As we went into Day 4 of Toronto’s Fan Expo, we learned that the key word for this year was…
Fan Expo Day 3
Saturday is undeniably the busiest day of the week at Expo, all those people who couldn’t get Thursday and Friday off work, and all those folks coming in on day passes flood in. The place was full, but for Sue and I, and the fact that the convention is spread over two buildings, it didn’t…

The Mind Reels Adventures – Ghost Hunting
Everyone has a ghost story, or knows someone who does. There’s something about dark, desolate feeling spaces that seems to foster that primal part of our brain that taught us to be afraid of the dark. I have a few stories of my own, Sue does as well. I think both of us are…
Hands On Exotics Presentation at Dufferin Clark Library
I only found out about these guys quite recently, and pretty much by accident, but ever since then I’ve been trying to figure out a time and opportunity to check them out more closely. I finally got that chance on Wednesday afternoon, and I have to say – I am pretty thrilled with what…
National Theatre of the World presents I Seen You On T.V.
After our chat with Matt Baram and Vanessa Matsui of Seed (what til you see that ep!) Sue and I were asked if we would like to check out an improv show at the Drake Hotel. We responded with a resounding yes. The last Wednsesday of every month, the National Theatre of the World put…
