May 20, 2005Paris Adieu Paris. I have had the very best adventure ever. Spent my last night here enjoying the sweet sounds of Lotus (you gotta say it with a French accent…”Lotou!”) at my favourite bar I found in all of Paris- Le Connétable. The first night I found this place I was wandering about the Marais after going to…   see more…

May 17, 2005Paris Tonight- oh!!!!! I got to go see Jean-Paul Poletti & La Choeur de Sartène sing their nouveau-Gregorian majestic chanty resplendentness in the unparalleled glory of Ste-Chapelle cathedral. I wept in awe. I LOVE Paris. With the moon and Ste-Chapelle cathedral… more photos

May 14, 2005Paris I am the happiest girl in the world- well, now that I’m here. My supposed high-speed 4 hour train ride from Amsterdam to Paris ended up taking 8 hours due to a railway strike in Belgium. They held our train for 2 hours in Antwerp and then we were additionally late cause they couldn’t find the conductor!…   see more…

May 10, 2005Amsterdam  Happy Birthday to me. After a serious overnight flight of no sleep whatsoever and a subsequent day of zombie-like wandering in a delicious daze I am celebrating my birthday in true fine style. So incredibly happy to be here. It’s like a dream. A dream with really good clothes shopping and super-fine beer and lots of bicycles….   see more…

April 29, 2005Toronto, ON Alas, I made it all the way across the country in time to see Patty Griffin play tonight in Toronto. Sweet! It was a long country man… let me tell ya. So glad to be back in the arms of the homeland. Here for a week of unpacking, cleaning and re-packing… Then it’s off to gaie…   see more…

April 25, 2005Sault Ste Marie, ON It’s the last night of sleazy motels for me on this trip, baby. My motel blanket even says “Motel” printed in black ink all across it. Gotta love that. Oh, Ontario-you are so long and take FOREVER to drive through. This was day 2 of the Ontario-haul, all cold and drippy with threats of…   see more…

April 23, 2005Saskatoon, SK  Sweet prairie skies have been bathing me in sunshine all day. Blue blueness with golden fields and orange dusty winds… Wandered forever up desolate train tracks taking photos and soaking in the warm-ness. Think I even got a sunburn. Got some wicked new clothes in Edmonton (always the Great Font of clothes shopping it seems.) And…   see more…

April 5, 2005Victoria, BC Back from a supremely fun weekend in Vancouver. Played a show with my good pal Sam Masich and his trio FFM at Sam’s Tai Chi studio in Kitsilano. Besides being a brilliant songwriter and great performer Sam is also one of North America’s premier Tai Chi Masters! I love playing gigs in all kinds of strange…   see more…

February 26, 2005Victoria, BC Greetings again from my bright sunny kitchen in the glorious Victoria morning… Not a drop of rain has fallen since before Valentine’s Day and Vancouver Island has been positively drenched in golden sunlight. This is indeed strange weather behaviour for the Pacific Northwest in winter- but I complain not! I guess the desert down in the…   see more…
