What a wild, wild week.

First the really big news – Grand Theft Bicycle has been accepted for a show at the Stride Gallery in Calgary. We don’t know when it will happen yet but I’d guess it will probably be within the next 6 months.

Then this morning I got an email telling me that this is box/this is machine has been accepted into the Bearded Child Film Festival (Minneapolis/Grand Rapids) and will play not just once but twice – how sweet is that?

And last but not least, Love&Olson are playing a semi-private gig next Tuesday Thursday evening at Discovery Coffee with our old friends i send data live. You can watch a blip from my preparations below or on Vimeo.

This June you to can live out the fantasy of mowing down world leaders riding a bicyle across a war-torn landscape. Show will be announced soon at www.openspace.ca.

Things continue to develop.
We are nearing completion of Grand Theft Bicycle and an opening date has been confirmed for the beginning of June. Saddam looks the best out of the new models, hopefully I will get around to posting some of the images soon. I’m helping out Erin Robinsong with a perfomance piece at the end of the month at the Metro Studio, please plan to attend if you like lightening or clever things.
A few weekends ago I had the pleasure of using some gear from MediaNet and have decided to become a member as soon as humanly possible. If you’re into media stuff it is a great investment and a very humane way of meeting people with similar interests.
After a short email exchange with Russ Reilander I have decried that the upcoming edition of Etherbot will be primarily blog-ficiton. Email me immediately if you don’t know what blog-fiction is and then google it, you won’t be sorry.
Over the weekend I am going to mostly be working on Grand Theft Bicycle and (hopefully) on some video work for Portable Stories.
