february 16, north vancouver //... many thanks go out to everybody who sent in wishes for my birthday! I have tried to make it a non-event, and so far, so good (or as Blake would say, 'so far, so excellent!).. many great chills spread out through the week, are pretty much my birthday gifts. it is also great to reply back to everybody one by one, in email and of course with each person there is a couple of little memories tucked in there... great to still have these connections. 

there was this one birthday wish, from Joe down in my beloved Aflenz valley, that came in with a WICKED bonus attached: a link-- to FinlayTV! easily the finest live video of my live show (and Paddy's... www.myspace.com/sonicispure) that has ever been taken (no offense anyone). have a look + spread the word!
