Painted mini Viewmaster

 I brought a camera and this keychain viewmaster today. Caroline suggested I do this one but that I must do the tag as well. 

Flu and covid shots

 All three of us got our shots on a walk in at London Drugs this evening. 

Broke my chair

 My chair finally gave out. Cannot lean back anymore - or perhaps that is all you can do since there is nothing really stopping you. Went shopping for a new one but the only acceptable chair was not in stock. 

Coffee with mom

 Coffee with mom and Lori. As is often the case, we talk about family who are not in the room. I took action, texted everyone, and got mom on a video call with Maureen and Nicole. 

Halloween

 Ron Mein and friends came over after the kids time had run down (we had about 55 kids and the last one was at 8:30). Ron et al were dressed as Nintendo characters who were each dressed up as Luigi. We carved the 80 pound pumpkin from Terry this afternoon. William put a riddle on it: "Why didn't the ghost go to the prom? Because he had no body to go with.".  My film this year was based on the newest Canister recordings (Mecha-Canister).  

Premiere of Deathgasm II

 I didn't know as many people as I'd expected at the screening of Deathgasm II this evening. Caught a glimpse of Jeremy but he was in costume and interacting with many members of the cast and crew. The introduction was entirely video of the New Zealand members of the project, zoom recording. Funny I suppose. Kevin's not been to a "red carpet" screening before, and as someone who loves horror, we made an evening of it. Behind us sat Logan and John, who had both acted in the film. William pitched his show to them and it looks like Logan will do a role. 

Michael Bridge live music for Phantom of the Opera

 Wow. The Phantom of the Opera was never so cool as it was tonight as Michael Bridge improvised a score for it with his digital accordion. A nearly sold out crowd were completely engaged, interacting with the performance as per Bridge's suggestions. Dr. Bridge is based in Toronto but is from here, so perhaps this could become a regular event? We should figure out some way to get Filmpool involved with one of these next year.
