1) My supervisor asked me to meet with her tomorrow at 3. This will be after I'd have taught my class at noon, which will in turn be after having got up at 9 whilst having gone to bed in the 3:30-4 AM range after Chimera. I don't think this situation bodes well for my making it to tea, i.e. I think it is more likely that by the time I'm doing meeting my supervisor I will just want to go home and crash. So assume I won't be at tea tomorrow unless I text around to say otherwise.
2) I had started asking around to see if anyone wanted to go to a play called the Abortion Monologues. Unfortunately though, I found out from my colleagues at Mount Royal that the play is already sold out, so I guess that's not going to work out. I hope it is at least sold out because of people who actually want to go and not because some pro-life organization bought the tickets to keep them out of circulation or something. Either way though, looks like it won't work out to go now, so sorry dark_nymph!
Since I'm here anyway though, I also wanted to mention:
I've heard from several people now that the Warehouse/Underground has closed permanently.
I can't say I'm sorry to see it go either, since aside from Datalink, I've been thinking for awhile (the last few years at least) that the place has been like some suffering old dog who really should just be euthanized instead of waiting around for it to die. Too bad for the organizer of Datalink, and too bad for any haters of mine who want somewhere subcultural to go other than Chimera, but no big personal loss to me.
One question this raises in my mind though is: if there is no Warehouse, doesn't that mean there is no weekend competition for events? And does this also mean that having two events a month is sustainable as opposed to just one?
The interesting thing about the timing of all this is that I was going to talk to D tonight anyway, since Chimera is tonight.
If you have thoughts on this subject, please let me know, preferably before 7 PM today. Not that I have concrete plans of what to do yet, or expect to have anything confirmed by tonight, or even have much of an idea of what might be possible. But I do want to start thinking and planning ASAP, in case there are some good opportunities here...
Oh, and on an unrelated note: if you're wondering why I'm up at this time when I work in the evening, it's because my orthodontic wire broke and I am going to an appointment to get it fixed in an hour or so here. It's pretty hard to eat when you have a wire stabbing you in the tongue constantly, so I really need it dealt with ASAP. Otherwise there's no way I'd schedule something like that for the same day as Chimera.Comments

I'd be all for two events a month, given that with one a month, it's next to impossible for me to attend in any reliable matter given my insane schedule
I'm being totally selfish though, given that my kids were so rudely taken out of Province, I had tons of crap to deal with last month and missed the New Years one, and now I find myself traveling out of Province tonight and will miss this one as well, whereas with two nights a month, making one reliable would totally be doable.Thursday, January 28 01:40 PM>> Mauler wrote:
Though not before 7...2 nights a month would be great, at least as a litmus test of the support for the scene as a whole. If it turned out that over a few months you found that an equal amount of people are attend over 2 nights rather than one then I suppose it would come down to your choice. Obviously there is always the chance that with 2 nights a month you could see a decline in attendance, due to the "Oh, well, I'll just go to the NEXT one" type mentality. Sometimes its better to keep them wanting more, but obviously this is the DJ's choice.
One way or another I'm in to help out.Thursday, January 28 06:59 PM>> Chris wrote:
I'd love it if it could be on a Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday because then I'd be able to attend reliably, heh.
I realize, however, that those aren't exactly ideal nights.Thursday, January 28 08:29 PM
