Coming to the SR Supper Show November 1

The official launch party for Sugar Bush and Other Stories, the debut collection of short stories by Vancouver writer Jenn Farrell (aka fancylady aka Ms. Mule).

The skinny, via Anvil Press: "Sexy, funny, sad, and sweet—Sugar Bush and Other Stories is a frank debut collection of tales about sex, love, and longing. These girls and young women navigate their lives in questionable ways, making some ill-advised choices in their quests for individuality. Whether waiting tables in a factory town, skipping school to make out in the cemetery, or wandering alone on rural side roads, the girls of Sugar Bush share an appetite for destruction and an almost pathological need for acceptance and approval. Part breathless teenaged confessional, part wistful look back, Sugar Bush and Other Stories is a potent cocktail of desires thwarted and fulfilled."

Come by for readings, music and cake.

21 Tandem Repeats-related trivia: the book contains a story called "Dishpig."

October 4th re-cap

Sound-man was late, drummer had headache, Robertson was lackluster but D Trevlon saved the day.

D Trevlon, a sound-man and fine performer got things set up... Robertson ended up on a guitar and doing a version of "What's in the bag?" an old Knockin' Dog number... next thing you know we have no band as a result of the fact that we were going to play SUPERSIMIAN, and we had the weird start... Robertson and Rojas on guitar and drums respectively dogged another tune and then D Trevlon saved the night... at least somebody came to play... (it was a bizarre night with 21 tandem repeats playing the next night, so we altered our course).

So D Trevlon plays a mean guitar and his voice can really fill a room... not bad on the whistling either. he played a set and was encourage to play some more, great stuff.

Then SUPERSIMIAN took the stage and hammered their songs home, by then we were all warmed up and it was time to end the show, but this time we did the intro song at the end and it worked fine.

Remember no supper show on Wednesday October 11... we are good for the rest of the year after that.
