Sept. 17th! Sarah McLachlan Day! Local Talent!

by chris cunningham

Hey, did you hear? September 17th is Sarah McLachlan Day in Vancouver! Did you get your stamps? I certainly did! Look at that! I had no idea really, pure luck. I just mailed a ton of Halloween cards off at the post office and saw them. Am I now a philatelist? No, but it’s Sarah, so suck it. Anyway, as a fellow Vancouverite I’d like to support her home grown local talent. Bryan Adams lives in London and Elvis Costello recently moved to New York so we’re losing our big names! Bublé’s still around. My son got to play with Michael Bublé once. He was at the local mall midweek with his son who previously had been diagnosed with cancer. They were at one of those climbing castle places and “Mike”, as he introduced himself, played the role of Doc Ock and his son and my son (same age) battled him as Spider-men. Doc Ock lost as my son wailed upon him. LOL Sorry Mike. Bublé’s son has recovered and all is good but I thought very highly of him for having a little play with a total stranger’s kid.

Surrounded by fames… Every year at school they have a school uniform return and you can exchange sizes as your children grow up. Elvis Costello’s (right?) twins grew out of their clothes and donated them and we now have Dexter’s shirts in the daily rotation. Ooo also Jennifer Beals can be seen at school events. Shhhh… I Bette she’s a maniac, what a feeling seeing her. Also, she’s in the Mandalorian, so yeah we’ve also worked on the same show! We’re sorta bff’s and stuff. Alright, that’s enough name dropping for the day (or ever). What a funny little world to flit about in. So yeah, neighbor Sarah, still love her.
