Well, we got our venue and times for Saskatoon today and they're both lookin' mad purt. The Broadway Theatre! On Broadway Avenue! Auspicious! Right?

I gotta say, Saskatoon is the exciting mystery spot on our tour. I live in Toronto, Chris and I grew up in Edmonton and Chris lives in Vancouver, but Saskatoon . . . Saskatoon is unfamiliar. My lovely aunt and uncle, who've graciously agreed to host us during the Fringe, live in Saskatoon and we visited there a few times when I was a child. Also, I went there on a band trip in 10th Grade and still have a photograph of me and my soon-to-be Grade 10 boyfriend Mark holding hands by the Vegreville Egg. Ah, young love. He's gay now too.

Hey guys -- I love the blog. I'm currently at my parents' place, aka Asterlea farm, in hot n' dry Manitoba. I told my mother about Chairman Meow's "part" in the play, and she was greatly amused, though she worries that you might be coming here for, ahem, further "material" -- I reassured her that there's enough rural prairie eccentricuty in the play already. I have to quibble with the Saskatoon venue, and this marks a *new* entry on my immortal shitlist. What the fuck is Broadway "Avenue"??!? That's SOOOOOOO lame. Anyone who knows anything knows that in a street name like Broadway is a one-namer: it's the Cher of street names. Sophisticated places like New York, Winnipeg and Vancouver know this, but clearly out in the bumblefuck backwoods (oh, Sakatchewan!) they haven't figured this out.
