And for those of you in the UK - like Essex or Leicestershire University, who happen to fancy, y'know, music - Sunday and Monday is your last chance to see <a href="http://lesleypike.com/" target="_blank">Lesley Pike</a> who, by total fluke, has been touring the UK at the same time. You should go.

And all this week I'm part of an, as of yet unnamed, mockumentary feature. Today was shoot day number one and all seemed to go rather well.. more shoot days coming.. </div><div><br /></div><div>Lastly - Did I mention it's Spring? Folks, that means you have 3 months to get cracking for summer and I'm looking for a few new clients who are interested in getting some goals met for swimsuit season! If you (or someone you know) is looking for a personal trainer who's available, recommended, has his own gym and won't kick you out at minute 60 - please get a hold of me. (If it helps, the only reason I'm looking for more clients is because I've lost a few: Because they reached their goals!) So change your life already. And actually do it. :) Inspiration is always free.</div><div><br /></div><div>More updates soon!...</div><div>dave</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3806588-6295162353896456375?l=davehomepageblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Blotchyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04437573038975150000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806588.post-78494430510420708832011-03-16T13:52:00.002-04:002011-03-16T13:55:19.174-04:00Well, it seems we're starting to thaw out!

It was a long time in coming, but this week saw the long curly locks get all cut off. The insane trim was long over due, it cut a few years off and probably took a few pounds with it..

I had an audition today that required a sports jersey, which I do not own. Subsequently, I borrowed one, and what I discovered is this: While most boys may not give two thoughts to their daily appearance or wardrobe, if they own a Jersey, they LOVE IT. "If you wreck this, you die." How they appear everyday, whatever, but the JERSEY, look out.<br /><br />That jersey that's reserved for boisterous, intoxicated behavior at sports bars and arenas? Don't mess it up.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3806588-4794471918628998125?l=davehomepageblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Blotchyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04437573038975150000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806588.post-75933620300292436062010-07-05T14:34:00.000-04:002010-07-05T14:35:02.965-04:00It's Really.

You've been around for a few months already, and thanks for that, but a big welcome nevertheless.<br /><br />Tonight I'm performing with INchoir Within at the Gay for Comedy Gala at the Panasonic Theatre on Younge Street at 8pm - an event hosted by Scott Thompson! Big fun! I'm also Fringing like mad for a bunch of reasons but it's always marvelous to see friends from abroad come together once a year and enjoy the craft we love so much.<br /><br />I'll post some links to shows I've seen in a bit.. gotta run around and then go sing! Post soon... Hope you're all well!<br />dave<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3806588-4522430509236129453?l=davehomepageblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Blotchyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04437573038975150000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806588.post-20744354368168151512010-06-03T11:52:00.002-04:002010-06-03T11:57:59.482-04:00Wow.. Sorry folks.. I haven't been slacking.. I've just been chin-deep in other nonsense.<br /><br /> Okay.. SHOW! Les Coquettes show on June 20th! INchoir Within (did I mention I'm singing in a choir now?) performs on July 2nd, I am currently driving directors and filmmakers around at the World Wide Short Film Festival. And I spent a weekend in April as Sean Connery. Big fun.. Sorry to not keep you posted on all that. Defending the Caveman is currently on hold as "behind the scenes" administrative stuff is being worked out. <br /><br />2010 has been an educational experience so far, ideally I'd like to see some big events happen shortly. We shall see. Until then, I hope to see you on the 20th! I'll update the "gigs page when I re-install everything.. (New computer.. still transferring everything.) Thanks for continuing to stop by! <br /><br /> Hope you're enjoying this early summer!<br />Dave<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3806588-2074435436816815151?l=davehomepageblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Blotchyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04437573038975150000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806588.post-6673415359569088962010-03-31T13:10:00.002-04:002010-03-31T13:12:57.453-04:00Okay, so I didn't follow through with posting up here this past month.. Sorry about that...<br /> Anyway I hope you've all enjoyed this March-that-thinks-it's-May month. Things are slowly starting to rumble around here. I'll be hosting a youth retreat in April, the next Coquettes show is set for June and as far as Caveman goes - it's interesting.. I may have some news in that department in the near future.. note sure yet though.. Anyhow.. hope things are all well out there....<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3806588-667341535956908896?l=davehomepageblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Blotchyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04437573038975150000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806588.post-46598345637129162242010-02-26T06:21:00.002-05:002010-02-26T06:22:10.482-05:00Oh.

There's always little things that pop up so as always, I'll keep y'all posted. <br /><br />In the mean time, we've got some Olympic hockey to watch.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3806588-9057455460766268361?l=davehomepageblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Blotchyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04437573038975150000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806588.post-81619638743887062602010-02-14T01:47:00.002-05:002010-02-14T01:52:06.636-05:00Well, that was a marathon of day! 10am we loaded into the theatre and ran cues, techs, rehearsed sets, set staging, lighting, ran a small pre-show and pulled off two (SOLD OUT!) shows back to back, tore down and at 2am, arrived where I left over 16 hours ago... home. With my bed. and Pillow.<br /><br /> Everyone from the top on down at the Lower Ossington Theatre, Youth Unlimited, the cast and amazing crew and the 2 smoking hot audiences made for a very memorable Valentine's Day adventure! <br /><br /> Much love to you all.

December 20 starts my few days of we'll call it "peace" for lack of a better word as I celebrate the season by going completely ape zipping around southern Ontario trying to catch up with as many people as I can - and likely missing more people than seeing.<br /><br />In all seriousness though, this is just a little blog entry on a little website floating in the middle of the vastness of the Interwebs, but I wish all of you out there that are kind enough to check in on me or follow my little acting adventures that, where ever you happen to be, you find very merriest of Christmases and a peaceful, rewarding holiday season spent with those close to you.<br /><br />Best to you and yours everyone.<br />~dave.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3806588-1570260191946156099?l=davehomepageblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Blotchyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04437573038975150000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806588.post-36344964757597604122009-12-13T00:21:00.003-05:002009-12-13T00:26:31.848-05:00Hello all. The lack of entries over the last couple of weeks are only due to the slight losing of one's mind. Namely my own. Been busy, what can I say?<br /><br />Right, in light of which, all of the advance tickets for tomorrow's (well, I suppose technically tonight's) holiday extravaganza with Les Coquettes @ Revival in Toronto have been sold out for a week. Having never sold out that quickly, tomorrow's show is sure to be just killer in all of its sexy, wacky, 4-part harmony goodness. Yeah that's right. 4-part, it's a red-letter date for Dave's voice.<br /><br />Well, I'll be sure to post again shortly, I hope the Christmas - or any reasonably timed holiday season has been meeting you all peacefully and bringing all the joys of the year with it, leaving all of the crappy stuff back in March somewhere.<br /><br />Very Merry! See you at the show!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3806588-3634496475759760412?l=davehomepageblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Blotchyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04437573038975150000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806588.post-88876942672492621792009-11-22T22:01:00.005-05:002009-11-22T22:19:46.890-05:00Right then. November has been a little busier than I thought with a couple of music video shoots with zombies (gorgeous weather! thank you Mr. Big Man!) and two guests appearances with Boylesque T.O, rehearsals starting for Les Coquettes Holiday show and a killer show in Brampton, which prompted this little posting.....<br /><br />Oh my goodness... The laughter of almost 1000 people is a wonderful, wonderful experience. And as the first time I've ever had that opportunity, the performance at The Rose Theatre in Brampton, Ontario on Nov. 21st, 2009 will stick with me for a long, long time. A big shout goes out to Lynne Terry (a cast member from my very first show!), all of the Bondys for being overwhelmingly and consistently supportive (okay, and for the candy) and to Lesley Pike (singer/songwriter/performer extraordinaire) for her inspiration and amazing talents that play at every show (listen to her stuff here -you're missing out: <a href="http://www.lesleypike.com/" target="_blank">www.lesleypike.com</a>)...<br /><br />Christmas is coming so I best go get ready... Thanks for following! Be Merry!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3806588-8887694267249262179?l=davehomepageblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Blotchyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04437573038975150000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806588.post-78202458149013914702009-10-29T15:19:00.004-04:002009-11-01T17:06:35.669-05:00Tickets = Gonzo! All 880 of 'em!<br /><br />... if you waited until now to get tickets for the November 21st show of "Defending the Caveman" at the Rose Theatre in Brampton.....you..uh, you waited too long! I guess applying for a job as an usher might work...<br /><br /> In all seriousness though, thank you SO MUCH to everyone for helping make that a reality. Crazy excited to see you all there!! Wheee!<br /><br />(New Les Coquettes show set for Dec 13th too!)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3806588-7820245814901391470?l=davehomepageblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Blotchyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04437573038975150000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806588.post-71453552249708657262009-10-28T00:35:00.002-04:002009-10-28T00:40:40.891-04:00Lemme tell ya, if you missed "Dark Places" - the Les Coquettes Hallowe'en bash, you missed one AMAZING blow out, monster show - And I'm not just saying that because I was involved, but quite sincerely, it ranked as one of my favourite stage experiences I've ever had.<br /><br />The crowd was on the ball, and they went absolutely ballistic when our (frighteningly accurate) Thriller rendition picked up the second act. What an amazing show. Stay tuned for Christmas - there may be less blood, but maybe a little more naughty and nice.<br /><br />(Looking forward to getting some Defending the Caveman shows out there in November as well - I'll post more about those shortly.. Have a Happy Hallowe'en! Be safe!)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3806588-7145355224970865726?l=davehomepageblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Blotchyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04437573038975150000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806588.post-80345793983130585622009-10-24T13:00:00.002-04:002009-10-24T13:06:02.993-04:00Well, I've returned home to Toronto (under the same cloud cover that gracefully extends thousands of kilometers across this very dreary, dreary Autumn we're having) and lemme tell ya, that was a fantastic trip - Granted, it could push the record for the shortest tour ever, but who cares!<br /><br />The kind folks in Prince Albert were so hospitable, it was crazy - To the point where it made me realize I haven't been leaving the big city enough to remind myself that there are people out there who, when they strike up a conversation with you, aren't trying to sell you something or just scam you. Sometimes, some people are just friendly.<br /><br />So for the very brief taste of the praries, the huge supply of Coke Zero, the food from Amy's on Second and for the standing ovation: Thank you Prince Albert! Hope to cross paths again!!<br />-dave<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3806588-8034579398313058562?l=davehomepageblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Blotchyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04437573038975150000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806588.post-78015468264082050952009-10-18T23:37:00.002-04:002009-10-18T23:40:43.821-04:00If you are reading this, odds are, you are not from Prince Albert Saskatchewan. However, Defending the Caveman is trumping that ratio and is becoming a resident of Prince Albert for one show only on Thursday, October 22nd.

Let's ignore the fact that summer took the cue and plummeted straight into winter, shall we? Okay, so September was a breeze and October and beyond is starting to look a little bit more like there's some active shenanigans going on.. How 'bout that!<br /> In the last week, good times were had dressing up for a photo shoot for our next Les Coquettes show on the 25th and I've started to turn the refresher gears for the Saskatchewan performance of Defending the Caveman on the 22nd. Thanksgiving weekend will be the 4th wedding I've attended in 5 weeks followed by a small shoot for Telus that I'm sure I'll cover later. Whee!<br /> I can't say I'm bored, so that's a gas. I'll write more when there is more..

It has officially been Autumn for about 32 minutes as I type this even though it has technically been fall for the past 5 months. Anyhow, to celebrate, I'm fiddling with the site currently working on integrating Flickr photos and so forth, so if something seems out of whack, you just sit tight.<br /><br /> Happy Autumn!

Well, it technically doesn't end for another 20 days or so, but now that it's September and since Mother Nature gave us the brush off this year, we might as well accept the inevitable and admit that Summer '09 is over. Which means a new season of almost everything has begun...<br /><br /> This fall, 'Caveman' is booked in 3 cities, and I may decide to venture into the land of representation as I believe I've run the self-representation as far as I can run it and while I love what I'm doing, the future is big and thinkin' I can do everything on my own is just silly. <br /><br /> Other fall activities: Les Coquettes on October 25th, Nuit Blanche on October 3rd and a possible guest appearance with Boylesque TO in early November. All righty, it's turning into Autumn, which at last check was a great time for some landscape shots. On we go.. Hope you're all well!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3806588-8493237753281189955?l=davehomepageblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Blotchyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04437573038975150000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806588.post-63863204188693634452009-07-28T14:09:00.002-04:002009-07-28T14:14:24.370-04:00Boy.. what an interesting summer so far...<br />Well, I'll fill everyone in on various changes as we progress - so I won't go into massive details. But some schedules are opening while others close, it's pretty crazy times over here. However, in lighter news, as of July 27th, 2009 - I managed to attain my certification as a registered Personal Trainer. Oh Jolly.<br /><br />In short, if you need someone to personally tell you to get your butt to the gym, I'm your guy.<br /><br />My apologies about the lack of summer we seem to be having. I thought I did enough cursing after last summer that Mother Nature couldn't possibly screw it up twice. If she gets it wrong next year, we're moving to someplace warmer. Oh yes.<br /><br />Onwards!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3806588-6386320418869363445?l=davehomepageblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Blotchyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04437573038975150000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806588.post-69511802420853203552009-07-07T22:42:00.002-04:002009-07-07T23:17:21.774-04:00.. Cause it's about to get buuuusy!<br />First off, I miss the Fringe a lot. Today is Toronto Fringe's Hump Day and every year, I manage to fill my schedule with Fringe chatter and all social delights whether I'm involved in a show or not. Remind me to do another tour next year...<br /><br />And if all else goes to plan, the next month contains: two cottage trips, a week of house sitting, the shooting of two different webisode shootings, two burlesque shows, rehearsals for all of the aforementioned stuff, an exam and a wedding (just a guest!) - and once that is all done, we leave the very same day and head to Alberta to shoot for 2 - 3 weeks (Which we will have had at least 3 rehearsals for before we go). Wow. I'm tired just thinking about it. Exciting stuff though. Somewhere in there, I need to drag my butt to the passport office. Y'know, to keep things from being exciting ALL the time.<br /><br />Bottom line: let's visit quick! 'Lest wait till September!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3806588-6951180242085320355?l=davehomepageblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Blotchyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04437573038975150000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806588.post-19578424462406840862009-06-28T19:34:00.002-04:002009-06-28T19:40:20.589-04:00Sorry about the delay folks - I was far too caught up in the fact that it isn't freezing cold outside.<br /><br />Well, I thought the summer was wide open, but it's filling up <span style="font-weight: bold;">fast</span>! The World Wide Short Film Festival, 3 different webisode shooting events, resuming the feature shooting in Western Canada, 3 days with Les Coquettes - and in a mere 2 days time, the world of the Fringe is coming to town. Whee! And the summer's only 7 days old! Hopefully I'll find a weekend for a cottage in there somewhere...<br /><br />But it ain't -35 and look at that smile! I hope the summer has greeted you all well so far! I'm off to buckle down for what I believe is our fourth severe storm warning.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3806588-1957842446240684086?l=davehomepageblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Blotchyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04437573038975150000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806588.post-11808352237869260992009-05-30T19:15:00.002-04:002009-05-30T19:19:07.391-04:00Don't take our word for it - But Les Coquettes new re-working of "The Beautiful and the Damned" appears at the Revival on College St. at 8pm tomorrow, the 31st of May - much to the delight of Toronto's media.<br /> Visit <a href="http://torontolife.com/">http://torontolife.com/</a> before the weekend is up to see our wee little write up.

And Curtain.<br />What an awesome run. I am sitting typing this little entry at around 3:20am and I'm still rather beside myself with the audience this evening and the amount of people from years gone by that came out to see the show. <br /><br />I've decided that whoever is in charge of the English language needs to come up with a word that describes that weird over-whelmed feeling after a show when you absolutely must catch up with over a dozen people and have only 5 minutes to do it. It's amazing and heart wrenching all at once.<br /><br />My hat goes off to Theatre Aquarius for housing the "...Caveman" for the past couple of weeks. I'd do it again in a second. Till next time.. Eat 'em raw, Hamilton, eat 'em raw...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3806588-3877606751041958460?l=davehomepageblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Blotchyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04437573038975150000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806588.post-90560214042479692182009-05-11T19:03:00.003-04:002009-05-11T19:16:12.547-04:003 down, 3 to go! Well, the first time ever performing in my hometown is turning out to be an amazing time! On Wednesday, May 13th, I'll be interviewed on Y108 (107.9 FM at roughly 8:30 in the morning). I've had a wonderful week re-uniting with many friends that have spent far too long on the shelf of the unvisited and I'm looking forward to a repeat of last week.. Come on out and say hello afterwards - Tell me I sent you. If not, I'll see you on the air waves...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3806588-9056021404247969218?l=davehomepageblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Blotchyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04437573038975150000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806588.post-64871617898588802542009-05-05T22:01:00.003-04:002009-05-06T00:48:35.523-04:00Well, wasting no time from the wonderful, albeit sad, closing of "Closer", we're now one day away from opening the hometown leg of Defending the Caveman! This post really contains no pertinent information other to randomly declare how excited I am about that. Thank you to everyone who's planning on making it out to the show... Looking forward to some long over due reunions!...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3806588-6487161789858880254?l=davehomepageblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Blotchyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04437573038975150000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806588.post-27535829206780308812009-05-02T12:12:00.003-04:002009-05-02T12:18:01.808-04:00Well, It's been a blast.. As much as a blast that can be had by repeatedly blowing your emotional your head off night after night can be. <br /> The day-of-the-closing is always a strange fellow as I'm excited for the performance, but saddened by what it represents.. The show has been a fantastic challenge and was carried by even better people. For those that may happen to read this today, if you can make it to the show tonight, I highly recommend you do and for those that already have, thank you so very much for the wonderful feedback and constant support...<br />.... And, Curtain....<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3806588-2753582920678030881?l=davehomepageblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Blotchyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04437573038975150000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806588.post-87911298557964944752009-04-24T13:01:00.002-04:002009-04-24T13:05:54.566-04:00Hello Hamilton and surrounding area! On <span style="font-weight: bold;">Monday April 27th</span> at the jolly time of 8:40am I'll be interviewed on <span style="font-weight: bold;">CHML AM900</span> in prep for the upcoming run of Defending the Caveman! So if you find yourself fading in &amp; out of consciousness while sitting in morning traffic, give us a listen! Looking forward to the run in May! Hometown shows are hard to beat! Check the "gigs" pages for times, tickets and links... Ta da!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3806588-8791129855796494475?l=davehomepageblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Blotchyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04437573038975150000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806588.post-83678665578387474162009-04-17T14:51:00.003-04:002009-04-17T15:00:42.674-04:00Right then! How appropriate that on the first absolutely gorgeous day of Spring, "Closer" opens with all of its dark, biting wit. It's been a mad crush of rehearsals but it's been a great tech week and the only thing left to do is open the show for all of you crazy nutters.<br /><br />Info is on the "gigs" page. Or, right here even:<br /><table id="Time and Port" class="profileTable info_table" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody> <tr> <td class="data"><div class="datawrap">70 Berkeley Street (SW corner of Berkeley and Adelaide)</div></td></tr> <tr> <td class="data"><div class="datawrap">Toronto, ON</div></td></tr> </tbody></table> <table id="Hailin" directions="" class="profileTable info_table" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td class="label"><br /></td> <td class="data"><div class="datawrap">4163644170</div></td></tr> <tr><td class="label"><br /></td> <td class="data"><div class="datawrap"><a href="mailto:reservations@alumnaetheatre.com"><span>reservations@alumnaetheatr</span><wbr><span class="word_break"></span>e.com</a></div></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3806588-8367866557838747416?l=davehomepageblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Blotchyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04437573038975150000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806588.post-58859960635764763932009-03-07T20:34:00.004-05:002009-03-08T21:34:02.315-04:00Okay, so apparently, the way the gallery was set up wasn't very clear, so all the photos are now laid out with nice little icons. It will open up a small picture browser which you can then click through all the pictures. Or you can close it. Y'know... if you can't stand the sight of it. NEXT!...<br /><br />The next 'Les Coquettes' show of "The Beautiful and the Damned" has been moved to May 31st. It's a couple month's extra to wait but tell me it's not worth it... (The 'gigs' page still says "March 29th as I type this... I'll change it.) Onwards...<br /><br />The May 8th show of Defending the Caveman in Hamilton is shaping up to be one serious high school reunion show. If you're still haunted by "No Fear", Hyper Color and Chip &amp; Pepper wear, you might as well catch the show.<br /><br />Closer rehearsals are moving well and we are slowly seeing the monster take some detailed shape. There's still over a month before opening curtain, so I'll check in before then.<br /><br />Hope you're all well and enjoying the final and well deserved last throes of winter...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3806588-5885996063576476393?l=davehomepageblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Blotchyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04437573038975150000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806588.post-63724363801192982672009-02-14T15:04:00.002-05:002009-02-14T15:12:32.340-05:00Oh yeah. It's also Valentine's Day. ...[pause]... Anyway, tonight is the final night of "The Tip" for Cabbagetown's ' No Sweetheart Required' run! Reports say this evening's shindig will be by far our largest crowd. Jolly!<br /><br />CLOSER - This week I secured a role in the 4-hander 'Closer' by Patrick Marber! (You may have caught the film with Jude Law, Clive Owen, Julia Roberts and Natalie Portman a few years back.) I'm feeling quite honoured to be in this one as the 4 roles are heavy and juicy and were auditioned for by 140 actors. Our first meet is sometime this week and the Show opens April 17th. More on that as it comes...<br /><br />Oh fine. And a Happy Valentine's Day. There. Yeeech.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3806588-6372436380119298267?l=davehomepageblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Blotchyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04437573038975150000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806588.post-20404166823744739282009-01-28T22:10:00.003-05:002009-01-28T22:16:12.215-05:00Greetings from the mid-point of what seems to be the eternal winter. So far this month, we've got ourselves some confirmed dates for "Defending the Caveman" @ Theatre Aquarius in Hamilton in May. Check the "<a href="http://davelapsley.com/gigs.html">Gigs</a>" Page for more on that one. The week of Feb. 10th to the 14th, I am revisiting a small comedy sketch last performed a number of years ago in Cabbagetown's 'No Sweetheart Required' and tomorrow I'm getting a whole whackload of photos taken.. so expect some new stuff in the photos fairly soon.<br /><br />The Les Coquettes show at the Revival on the 22nd of February is expected to sell very well and give the Oscars a run for its money, so look into that Pronto.<br /><br />More soon! Hope you're all well!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3806588-2040416682374473928?l=davehomepageblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Blotchyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04437573038975150000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806588.post-88709636997889975862008-12-29T22:32:00.002-05:002008-12-29T22:35:28.145-05:00Well I hope the Christmas Season is passing well for everyone and things are settling down nicely while gearing up for Wednesday's flip over to 2009. I'll be performing a small sketch or two in February in Cabbagetown's "No Sweetheart Required" just for sh*t's and giggles and will hopefully be laying some V.O. tracks down in January. We'll keep you posted!
