MOON ROCK DISCO – Woodstock in Space
Last night, my friends and I threw a big fundraiser dance party called MOON ROCK DISCO – Woodstock in Space! It was a huge success, and tonnes of fun. This photo of my friend Mark and me sums it up pretty well. Note the spaceship on Mark’s shirt, his robot head, my laser kitty in space shirt, and of course accELeration speedcrutches from the future:
The Sticking Place Kickstarter Campaign
My sister Josephine, a documentary filmmaker, has just launched a Kickstarter campaign. Don’t know what that means? Read the short and sweet right over here: http://thestickingplacefilm.ca/kickstarter
The reason for her Kickstarter campaign? She and Brittany Baxter are making an interactive documentary called The Sticking Place. What’s an “interactive documentary,” you ask? Head over to their Kickstarter page to find out! It’s all kinds of awesome (and it’s FREE!).
Not only that, but Josephine and Brittany have just founded the amazingly-named Moosestash Films. Check out their logo:
If you’ve read this far, I’m going to ask you to do me one small favour, and spread the word to your friends. Maybe post a link on your Facebook account, or send it around by email to your close friends and family. Here’s the link again: http://thestickingplacefilm.ca/kickstarter
Slightly bizarre baked goods
I enjoy fishing. I do not enjoy eating fish. I do enjoy eating peanut butter cookies.

How-To: The Poor Man’s Motorcycle Footpeg
Have you ever had one of your motorcycle footpegs mysteriously disappear, even though the cotter pin is still in place? Probably not. But, in case it ever happens to you too, here’s how to replace it on the cheap without waiting for your local bike garage to order the right part from their supplier:
1. Look at one of your remaining footpegs to figure out the right diameter and length;
2. Find or buy a section of metal pipe that matches closely enough;
3. Cut the pipe to the correct length. If it needs to fold back against the bike, remember to cut at the same angle as the footpeg on the other side;
4. Drill a hole through both sides of the pipe, just big enough to fit the cotter pin;
5. Wrap part of an old bicycle inner tube around the pipe, and secure with some wire and electrical tape;
6. Attach to motorbike and hit the road.
