Toren Atkinson’s Absolute Blog

Now I bet you’re wondering what Toren’s hero in marine biology, Dr. Steve O’Shea - you know, the guy to whom The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets’ album “The Shadow Out of Tim” is dedicated, sounds like? Specifically if he was lecturing on results of the dissection in April of the colossal squid in Te Papa, New Zealand?

Here is a direct link to the mp3.

It gets more interesting further on when the audience start asking questions about how it tastes, how it hunts, whether it can change colour, etc.

Robin Bougie is well known in the Van comics scene as The Grand Duke of Smut. He publishes Cinema Sewer and his most recent project is Maximum Super Excitement with Maxine Frank. His website is http://bougieman.livejournal.com/ BUT IT IS NOT REMOTELY WORKSAFE!!!

Thanks to the Boug!

Geoff presents:

Slackademics – Writing Fiction

Three hours is just enough time to scratch the surface of writing fiction, but in that time, I hope to pass-on some of what I learned during my year in SFU’s The Writer’s Studio. I’m going to focus on three main areas: how to improve your writing practice, how to improve your narrative, and how to get inside your character’s heads. The evening will include practice exercises, lecture, reading, and small but delicious portions of fun.

Where: Geoff’s place in Kitsilano (Details to be provided to confirmed attendees)

When: 6:30pm, Thursday, June 19th.

Kolja, you comin’? I know I’ll be there.
