re: final night of "crawling, betting, weeping," at the Unit/Pitt.......

Hello lovers,

how i've missed you. here are some performance flicks from the final night of the "Crawling, Weeping, Betting," exhibition, performance series, and so on. it was amazing and i bet we had about 100 people there or so. each one was wild and unpredictable, full of energy, madness and fun. i never want to do an exhibition the same way as long as i live.

and to think this all started out because david and i couldn't find a sober clown. so we figured we'd create an opportunity for a sober clown to appear but it didn't happen. so now, we focus our energy on europe. we figure there's some 500 million people on the continent, or so, and better chances of finding a sober clown. plus, you can tour canada ten times, and it gets to be the same old same old after awhile. i haven't been to europe for some time, so it is time to do some research and development for a new series of shows. wish us luck.

and thanks for coming, i missed you dearly,

david mackintosh 
singing the blood song
to get the blood flowing
and the drinks moving
a friday night ritual
that launched the cabaret
it got better and stronger 
by the end.

and he loved it
i think. 


captain, booze enthusiast, author
raconteur, scoundrel, and a man
born at the right time
and the wrong time.


max givn'r on the sax.
there were also two drummers that night.
epic.

sommelier david mackintosh
free booze was given 
on the friday cabaret nights
based on the stories told.

veda hille was storyteller
the last night
and she's in front of dave sitting
slightly to the his left.
she told a great coming of age story
of her daughter. 
as a father of 3 or 4 girls
i can relate.



on the opening night
we had most of vancouver legends
"the sons of freedom,"
and it was rawk!!!


special thanks to david mackintosh
for inviting me to collaborate 
on this amazing project
he said it was something he's been
wanting to do since the 1980's.

and special thanks to all who participated
the dancers
the storytellers
the artists
the musicians
the people who came again and again
