This is not so much analysis as it is more like observations. I just got my copy of the Mirror after receiving an email that the BOM issue of the Montreal Mirror was out and man, what a fun little surprise! My blog, the Pregnant Goldfish, somehow managed to crawl into second place for [...]
One year ago I fell in a bike accident and broke my right (dominant) wrist. I was in a cast for four weeks, a period of time which brought about tremendous discovery, and lots of high and low experiences. One year later, I’m taking stock of everything I learned.
First of all, I broke my dominant [...]
A few months ago, fellow Indyish staff member Sarah Pearson announced that she would be hosting a weekly radio series on 105.1 Mike FM. The segment is a showcase for emerging artists in Montreal and allows musicians like myself a bit of airplay and the opportunity to do a five minute interview spot on the [...]
I’ve landed a new gig as a radio host for Mike FM’s Emerging Artist Series. 5562
This is positively delightful because:
a) I’ve never done radio, and am stoked to learn
b) I like interviewing people, and like to talk

Things came together so close to the show itself (the actors getting their scripts 4 days before the show, bands meeting the [...]
This here be Sarah Pearson, making her inaugural Indyish Blog post. Woohoo! I’ve come into Indyish as a Fringe blogger, blogger-at-large, and an Assembly 2.0 team member. For Assembly 2.0, I’ll be helping organize groups of actors and directors for the final performances of the scripts, taking place at the Montreal Fringe [...]
A guest post, from a new contributor! I’ve seen a list of pitches from this author on subjects ranging from metro mechanics to urban planning and theatre reviews, and I already really dig her techno social perspective and wry style. As a sometimes actor (uhh embarassing but yes) and as someone who’s studied the history [...]
This from Sarah Pearson - one of the awesome crew helping Tessa and I out with the Assembly 2.0.. which I’ll be posting about in a minute. Sarah will also be blogging here at indyish soon, and then hopefully helping us take our Indyish projects on the road to future Fringe’s as she heads onwards [...]
