Month: July 2009

Here at Brennen Demelo Studios :

july 14 2009

Me: What’s new now, you’re probably off to something big, no?  Since I cracked it, I know these things. 
Him: Yes there’s some stuff…

– in the beginning of August he’s off to NYC to met with Jimmy Iovine, chairman of Interscope Records.  Woah, I know.  He’s been hired to create the look for a new band that’s coming out soon.  He’s doing this with international photographer (and CDN too) Raphael Mazzucco, top stylist ‘The Inga’, Marcus Tripp and the Ford Artists Superteam

– he did the hair for the September cover of Elle Magazine Canada

Him: And let’s not forget about Rowenta!  In September we stop the wait and start to participate. 

Now here comes the weird part.  When he goes to NYC next month I asked if Jeth was gonna be there.  Who’s Jeth?  WELL.

Jeth Weinrich is CDN filmmaker who is the only one to ever win three Juno’s for ‘Video of the Year’.  Scroll down on that last link to read more of his wins, there’s a lot.  He and Raphael have been working together for years, and I’d totally forgot this fact until last week…

Me: Do you know Jeth?  
Him: Yup.  Great guy
Me: Agreed, funny too.
Him: Wait, how do you know him?
Me: Because way back two years ago when I started this all, he was the first fan ever of The Canadian Explorer 
Him: [stares]
Me: I know, smaaall world. 

So hi Jeth!  Miss our emails!  Especially when you almost hit things taking photos of stuff while driving!  Brennen’s coming with a message from me when he sees you, hope to ttys. 

I had to get away from my desk for a sec tonight, so I went for a drive.

3 squeegy guys OCD’ out on my car, their words, then I passed, get this, at least 15 firetucks. I turned around, I had to know.

Me: How come there are so many of you everywhere?
Firefighter: There was a fire
Me: Oh
Me: What burned down?
Him: Nothing burned down
Me: Oh
Me: What was on fire?
Him: A house [walks away]

I went to find the house, look:

It was like walking into daylight.  And there’s the inside of a fire truck, you don’t get to see that everyday.  There were emergency people everywhere, an EMS bus, some other rubberneckers like me.  

It was a house on Fermanagh Avenue, no one got hurt, but it was such a big fire (3-alarm) it took them over an hour to extinguish.

Because I had that “I don’t wanna touch a computer for a few days” thing happening, today was “I’m stuck doing catch-up all day”.  Dullllll.  New episode coming tomorrow though.
