Thanks for the Traffic

Traffic is up thanks to two sources, my BFF Tony down in Miami, 

july 15 2009

and Sean Ward posting a quite nice article about me on his site, click here.  I met him last week at a party, and check out his music video for the single “I Was Made for This” off his album, Paid to Party.  Click just to see the album cover, it kills me.

Thank you fellas, sincerely.  And welcome everyone!

A Chunk of an Email I Sent

I too keep odd hours.  But sometimes, to be honest, I feel kinda loser-ish about it, like, I’m convinced that in the “winners circle of the world” they’re all getting up at 5am.  

Couple years ago that was my new thing, 5am, and I found there was like a secret club, people exchanging looks with one another at that time like “ya, you’re a member too”. Liked it.  Didn’t sustain it.

Sometimes I consider training myself to sleep in shifts so I can have the best of both worlds.

Took my Bike to the Bowl

july 14 2009

I’m at Vanderhoof Skatepark, one of 15 that are in the GTA, see the list here.

It’s a total rush and I have a whole new respect for those I’ve seen on TV sail around these things.  I was too chicken to “drop in” so just hauled my bike into the bowl and started from down there.  That’s my knee bottom right, of course I bailed, but that’s not so bad so I’ll call it all a success.

Haircut Day

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.
