The Buffalo Infringement Festival keeps getting bigger as it keeps getting better
Posted by Jason in Arts, My Acting, My Writing, Travel on July 30, 2011
Wow, feels like the last time I was writing in this space it was a year ago. Actually, wait, it was over a year ago. I was talking about the upcoming 2010 Montreal Infringement Festival. That went very well and then I went to Buffalo, that was incredible. I wrote about my experiences at this [...]
NYC snow trucks: making do with what you have
Posted by Jason in Commentary, Travel on March 5, 2010
A few days before we arrived last week, New York City was greeted with something we were told was a rather large blizzard. I’m not sure if it would rate as a blizzard or even rate as a large snowfall by Montreal standards, but it did seem big by local standards
Back from Guelph

No, I didn’t find the time to report on our performance in/trip to Guelph, Ontario (see previous post) while I was there, so here’s a little recap: We arrived on Friday night and started off at The Albion Hotel, a pub/music venue that, I guess, used to be a hotel. The Albion was also the last place in Guelph we visited.
Going to Guelph

That’s right, in just a few hours, I’ll be heading out, along with the rest of the current cast of Sinking Neptune, to Guelph, Ontario to perform in the latest version of this verbatim theatre exposée of Eurocentric celebrations like the 400th anniversary (2006) of the supposed “first play” in North America, Marc Lescarbot’s Theatre of Neptune in New France which is racist against the First Nations.
Buffalo infringement: an outsider’s perspective
Posted by Jason in Arts, Imported Posts, My Acting, Travel on August 4, 2007
For the third year in a row, Car Stories played the Buffalo infringement Festival, for the third year in a row, I made it down and for the first time, I found a bit of time to write about it, albeit a bit late (as you can see, this article was started early August and was only posted in November). Now entering it’s third year, the Buffalo festival is, without a doubt, the largest in the International infringement circuit (so far).

- Off With Their Clothes! Glam Gam’s Little Beau Peep Show April 17, 2012Well, it's 2012 and we got one of the first signs of the oncoming apocalypse early. Troupe founder Michael J.

Dressed as the Red Queen from Alice in Wonderland, we didn't even get a little leg or someone screaming " […]

The oldest bar in America (or at least Manhattan)
Posted by Jason in Commentary, Travel on March 10, 2010
While so much of Manhattan has changed around it, it’s good to see that McSorley’s Old Ale House hasn’t changed much. When you walk into the place, have a look at the chairs, the walls and the sawdust on the floor, you can tell off the bat that this isn’t faux vintage, it’s the real deal.
