Last night I went to the Spacing film screening. It was really great. I forgot to bring the dang nabbed program home with me. There was a really great film by a guy who lives in Parkdale who's uncle lived and died in Parkdale. He talked about development in the area from a refreshing (historically invested) point of view. But I forget the guy's name. I'll find it soon and post it. Also, as I mentioned in a recent comment thread, Tino's Rick Goes to Crticial Mass totally rocked. Very inspiring and made me laugh all the way through. Granted, Rick is a natural film star, but Tino is a master: great pacing, great tone, great composition, and joie de vivre. It's tight, and it's beautiful. And you can see a tiny quicktime version online!
My little birdmap movie (below) was screened too. That went okay, except I realise that things that are designed to be almost postage-stamp size on a computer screen carry a different weight when imposed large on a bunch of people sitting in a dark room. It was bit heavy-handed at that scale. Oh well. At least it's short!
It really is all about Rick. Was that him playing the accordion too?
Rick Goes to Critical Mass was very fun.
It is fun, and Tino, you have totally spoiled Rick rotten now.
I made that Pope hat that you see in the movie. I was very proud of it. It has bicycle reflectors for jewels. That was the Papal Mass version of Critical Mass held during World Youth Days. Rick made a most excellent accordion playing puckish pope.
Thanks Sally. You're too kind to me but I love it. The Guy from Parkdale was one
of my favourite Toronto actors, James O'Reilly. He did some great solo shows
at the Fringe Festival in the past but I had seen much of him since. What a blast.
I think people totally got your Birdmap. My friends at the screening did!!
Hey, the crows were there first!
As for Rick, he's a star. I just point the camera and press record.

I love crows.
Thanks LM and mark. Rick will never be the same.

Oh shit, I remember World Youth Days, that was when my mortal enemies from the Vatican invaded this lovely city with their armies of terminally perky hand holdin' singin' sanctimonious catholic brats.
And launched (so to speak) an inadvertant attack on Idomo.
