VALLOWEEN

Oh hi. Grrrreat news …for me and those who have to be around me. I am 99 percent free of allergies, thanks to being on allergy shots the past few years! It worked and I am a much more bearable person to be around - I think. I still have bad sinus problems when there is rain (sorry Vancouver) and barometric pressure changes but it worked! IT WORKED!

 I will be in Toronto performing as The Canadian Romantic on Saturday, February 15th at Double Double Land (209 Augusta, alleyway then up the stairs).

Info here:
We have decided to throw a different kind of Valentines party. One that combines:
-Romance (which with everything said above, we are very into)
-Satanic and darknessvibes
-General horror themed spookiness
-Prom night (Like that Jamie Lee Curtis one)

The night's itinerary includes:
-A very special performance by Toronto’s own man about town The Canadian Romantic
-Eerie & sulty projections by Brandon Dalmer


-Ultra fun dance party, with all vinyl vallo-wave-weirdness provided by Omega Cat & Co. (June Records dudes)
-HEARTBREAKER Pinata’s filled with candy and condoms (cuz yeah) created by B.L.O.T.
-COSTUME CONTEST trophies made by Vanessa Rieger.
(prizes also include t-shirts & vinyl courtesy June & Pleasence Records)
-Magical decorations & photo booth dripping in romantical oozyness by Simon Schlesinger & Sarah Kilpack with photos by Sarah Bodri

Advance tickets available from Monday Feb 3rd at June Records cash only, guaranteed entry + first refreshment $8.

up to dayton

I should really get a website going. No really. so all my music, performance, pen and ink, writing projects are easily findable, hell, even a CV so I look 'legit' or whatever that word is.
I just got an Instagram. therobertdayton
Go find me. same as my Twitter
https://twitter.com/therobertdayton
Mostly jokes and things that spur me, move me, fascinate.
Oh, and The Canadian Romantic winking pics are back in stock at Magic Pony, Likely general, if you are a store and want to carry them, drop me a line. They are on my etsy as well.
Just made some more vids, hopefully up in coming months.

IMPULSE! Shatner! An appreciation.

I have no gumption today, drained from both last night's show and today's rain here in Lonelytown...so much to do, but bureaucratic red tape (I can't remember my password) and lack of inclination drive me back. I feel...alone. Where is my IMPULSE? Oh, here it is...check it out, I did it for the wonderful site Spectacular Optical and the link leads to the full movie! Read then watch! SHATNER at his most intense! This was a joy to write. I am also doing something for Spectacular Opticals' very first book on Kid Power. Excitement.
