Risa and I have had the chance to cover a lot more then just the Fringe this year. We’ve met with some great Toronto minds, schemed some exciting new collaborations, worked on the upcoming Mega Mess at Sala Rossa on August 9th, experienced a rooftop mini-jam and reading, and met wonderful creative minds. And met [...]

An actor once told me that if a play started well but ended poorly, the audience would say “It wasn’t that good after all”; on the other hand, if it had a rough start but ended well, the audience would say “It wasn’t so bad after all!” So, in that spirit, I will do my [...]

Straight from their mouths to the pages of the Indyish blog. I claim no editing. -Tristan

These are the facts:
1 - St. Patrick’s Day commemorates the patron saint of Ireland, Booze.
2 - Uncalled For celebrates the patron saint of comedy, Questionable Decision Making.
3 - Nothing improves Questionable Decision Making like a hefty helping of [...]

If Uncalled For had sat down to write, block, and rehearse their performance, and produced with the skits we saw that night, I probably would have thought it sucked. But, because everything was concocted on the spot, it was completely awe-inspiring. So does that mean can only enjoy improv if we lower our comic standards?

Indyish’s 11th Monthly Mess brings together indie artists and indie urbanists to reflect on our experience of the city. The music, spoken word, film and images presented are all inspired by the artists’ urban experience and, with this unique show, Indyish explores the ways in which art can create collective meaning and contribute to building [...]

Sarah Pearson directed us to the LINUX Cafe on Harbord and Grace, so now there’s a little Indyish crew assembled here this fine morning in Toronto surrounded by Perl manuals and the Hacker Quarterly and heaps and stacks of other Linux loving literature. I giggled and shmoozed a bit with the owner had the typical [...]
