Sandy McCallum Remembered

Sandy McCallum – my Great Acting Uncle

Just wanted to post a note about my gret uncle Sandy who passed away last week.  If any of you saw Death Race 2000 made in 1975, he was The President.  The only interesteing image I could find of him was a web writeup that you see displayed here — looks like that's where my brothers and I might have inherited our knack for making faces.  :) If you click the image, it should link to the official online writeup.

My dad sent me this Guest Book for him after I first posted this article.

I'm kinda in recovery…

So on April 5th somehow I was hit by a train.  Pretty much damage is just to my skull.  And my ego.  I literally “woke up” only 3 weeks ago.

I think I was walking and didn't hear it coming, but I can't remember anything.

Double-Whammy Weekend – Toronto's WinterCity and Luminescence (Sat Jan 26/08)

by on Jan.25, 2008, under - Main Page -

Well, looks like it's going to be a busy weekend for me; playing two awesome events in the city.  A little late to post on the site, but consider signing up to the mailing list.

The first is Toronto's WinterCity festival from 6:-7:30pm in the Lodge with some downtempo, curving to some uptempo.  It's a large tent in Nathan Phillips Square in front of city
hall.  It's a nice family-oriented event with lots of stuff to do and
look at.   Definitely explore through the links to find out all the cool little things going on.

The second event is Luminescence put on by a bunch of folks including Newmindspace, the group responsible for a lot of great spontaneous public space events like Pillow Fight, Light Saber Battle and Capture The Flag. My set starts at 1:30am, spinning breaks.
