Always looking for brighter days... #toronto #spring
Do I work? Or do I play Sims 4...
A beautiful cat I happened upon today. Appreciating the little moments of magic in the day. Black cats traditionally are thought to be connected to witchery, and I think I read somewhere that this even impacted their rates of abandonment and adoption. That makes them more appealing to me- their darkness and mystique, the way they can disappear into the night. Well anyways this guy was an absolute sweetheart named Frodo and his twin brother named Pippin, lounging in a chair outside of frame, was a very pale orange (obligatory wink to fantasy fans). I think if I got to hang out in an antique bookstore all day I would feel pretty relaxed too. Somedays I feel like a black cat.
We are busking at Bloor/Palmerston right now. Swing by.
We’ve been rehearsing really quite a lot recently and, we think, with some significant progress made. 🤘 There’s a lot of fun stuff coming up this spring, including a little video thing we are going to shoot this weekend and some shows to be announced soon…Anyways, in rehearsal we’ve focused on—shocker—playing in time and in tune. We’ve discovered that we really like plaid at the moment and DIY pedal boards (Cam’s pedal board is made from a vintage silverware box, pictured above, while Alex's is made from a bed-frame, not pictured). We’ve been lucky in that our rhythm guys—Tom and Chris—have now been playing together for quite a while and seem to get in the groove together pretty easy. We’re really excited to have some humans come dance with us! This post is not sponsored by the Rehearsal Factory or Marshall, but we really wish it was. 🍅 Photo by @bettyincolour

Swipe ‘till the end it’s worth it I promise... been working really hard to take care of myself lately and it’s just in time for spring and a bunch of cool creative stuff. Today Tom and I are hanging out with a banjo and it’s owner and that’s pretty cool. So cowboy boots and mustard clothes blend well with old folk tunes and poses I learned in jazz lessons in the era of ‘05. . . 📸@trampinney . #spring
