too often, we lose sight of life's simple pleaures. remember when someone annoys you, it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, but it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and bitch slap the motherfucker upside the head

i was supposed to teach my friend kim how to snowboard today at whitewater (yes, there is still snow there), but she wasn't feeling well and bailed on me. that's alright, i had some blogging to catch up on. i'm still trying to figure out the balance between living my life and blogging it. sorry for the delays in gettin these entries up.

my friends brett and reuben had organized a jam at baker street live tonight. they are leaving for the coast at the end of the month, and this was their going away jam session. it was also the going awa celebration for meredith and her partner andy. i was looking forward to being around good friends.



brett and reuben are very talented musicians, the guitar being their instrument of choice. the jam session included other talented local musicians as well, including wings on the saxophone, andy on the drums, and paul on guitar.

anke and i arrived at baker street live around 10pm. the venue was nice, more like a restaurant with a stage area than a concert venue. brett and reubz were providin some sweet gyspy jazz beats on stage.


man these guys are talented. i've enjoyed jammin out with these katz all winter, and it was awesome to hear them play in a larger venue.


wings joined in o the jam with some sweet sweet saxophone riddimz.


skye was tuned us into the grooves on bass...


andreas even grabbed the mic and dropped some sick lyrics


after a short break, paul joined the jam session and blessed us with some infectious tribal riddims. paul had just returned from africa where he spent time playing guitar and tuning into the rhythms of the motherland.


the soul of african music flows through all of us, regardless of what colour we claim.

the radiant goddess laura grabbed the mic and soothed us with her velvety voice.



we danced, we celebrated, we shook our hips! have a safe trip to the coast brett, reubz, meredith and andy. perhaps i'll run into you katz on hornby island in july. would love to reconnekt with you guys there.



after the jam was over, anke and i headed to the rez to shake our asses to some more upbeat riddimz. the rez avoir was bumpin!


i have an early morning tomorrow as i'm volunteering at the nelson food and bottle drive at 8:30am, so after a few tracks at the rez, anke drove me home. thanks for the drive anke...i'm so glad that you have a car :p
