That’s the Final Cut file, and there on the right is maybe the best part about launching a new episode, changing the text in the bar at the top by one number. Choosing the thumbnail for the episode, that’s also the best part.
To make and maintain this site I use SquareSpace.com and think you’d love it; I’ve tried all APIs out there and hands-down there’s nothing as elegant as this.
En route to my car after last night’s even I noticed one of my upcoming Blog Party spots was open so I went in looking for the owners, they weren’t there and instead met Dwayne, their right hand guy.

This is, ‘The Great Hall‘. How I know about it is from working security there.
While in the park Dwayne called, and pretty soon I think everyone in Trinity Bellwoods Park knew about my Blog Party plans because I was YELLING into the phone. Two reasons for this, one: Dwayne is adorable and he was pumped for the idea, so I got more pumped, then we were yelling at each other in excitement.
And two: I’ve always been loud on the phone, it just is. Like everyone, I too worked in telemarketing in high school but had to be sent to sit way away from everyone else, in my own corner of the building, because of my loudness. Whatever, I get excited, ” Hi Mr. McLala, it’s Keri calling from Chemlawn, your lawn care company!”.
Met up with a friend who’d brought us gingerbread cookies:

Me: Do you have a Sharpie in your bag?
Him: No, only a pen
Me: Now I need your help with something I dreamed up last week
Me: [tells him]
Him: I’m doing you a favour by not having a Sharpie
Me: Just use the pen
I attended the League of Kickass Business People at The Social and met, this is rare, another ‘Keri’.

I can count on one hand the number of Keri’s I’ve ever met, this Keri is a photographer with an elegant logo. Of course I asked her if she used Keri Lotion (no) and Keri, check out this stamp with our name on it.
Below are more new friends, Simon (middle) and Adrian (right):
I took the photo then showed them and asked if it was okay for my blog, the usual routine. Adrian was like “woah” and I agreed because he kinda looks like how I did when I was off to “Exploring Clubbing Seals“. See a better photo of us Simon took here.
Adrian founded DNA 11, who “pioneered the application of genetic science in the creation of truly personalized unique custom art”. Click on that link to see how big he’s made it… featured in Wired, CNN, many more, so sick.

Meet Karin, terrific Russian* girl who blogs, too. She’s hosting an event at the AGO soon about conceptual art and we’ll go to that as I’ve not yet been.
She told me about it over lunch along with how she “just want to go fishing. I have my licesence and everything” and I jackknifed, it was said with so much conviction and real random, click here for a photo of her doing just that.
Good luck with your speech tomorrow lady!
