Free Symphony Tix!

25Apr11

So the KW-Symphony has a fairly awesome program coming up, called….

Frankenstein!!

Yes, with TWO exclamation points. Daniel Handler (a.k.a Lemony Snicket) is narrating H.K. Gruber’s Frankenstein!!. From what I know, it’s going to be very weird, but in a good way. And KWS is giving away two pairs of tickets.

All you need to do is create a composite graphic using at least one line of text from HK Gruber’s Frankenstein!! and any corresponding image, like the one you see here. The winner will be decided based on the cleverness of the combination. “Slightly and Inexplicably Disturbing” is encouraged.

Bonus points for using my favourite passage:
batman and robin
still lie in their bed
robin’s a nice boy
but batman’s ill-bred.
batman ta-ta
and robin too-too
coffee is on,
and it’s breakfast for two.

Always knew there was something more than a work relationship between those two.

The fine print:
All entries will be displayed on kwsocial.ca. Lyrics can be found here, with password: 123. Yes, high-tech I know. The winning two will be included on the Conrad Centre for the Performing Arts digital screens for the week leading up to the show, in addition to the tickets. Upload the image wherever (e.g. facebook, tweetpics etc.) and post the link in the comments. 

Deadline: Friday, April 29, 2011

Bonus points are not guaranteed.

Follow me on twitter

So I’m so new to this whole facebook/twitter/apps/internet business. I’m sure it’s not considered “cool” to post your twitter feed on a blog post. I’m probably supposed to sync it somehow with my cellular mobile telephone. Too bad my cell phone still has snake and doesn’t do twitter.

I decided to post up to 140 chars on movies I watch. Not really local (although the first review is based on a film seen at the Princess Twin) but hopefully still fun and interesting.

New Year, New Blog

05Jan11

I’m actually really happy that the holiday season is over. A fresh start is so helpful sometimes.

And one new thing that I’ve done and I hope you all enjoy is my new blog! I’ve profiled a number of peacemakers in Waterloo Region. These are organizations that are doing great things, helping people, and building a better community.

Hope you enjoy it! (It’s still somewhat of a work in progress, so please let me know if you have any feedback.)

Horse Drawn….Bus?

Just saw this going south on King. Amusing.

Opera Kitchener performing La bohème at the Living Arts Centre in Mississauga this Friday at 7:30pm. Guaranteed to be fantastic show, since I’m in it, as Townsfolk #3. Seats are about 80% sold out, so don’t drive to Missusaga without first purchasing a ticket online.
