"'Turn on' meant go within to activate your neural and genetic equipment. Become sensitive to the many and various levels of consciousness and the specific triggers that engage them. Drugs were one way to accomplish this end. 'Tune in' meant interact harmoniously with the world around you - externalize, materialize, express your new internal perspectives. Drop out suggested an elective, selective, graceful process of detachment from involuntary or unconscious commitments. 'Drop Out' meant self-reliance, a discovery of one's singularity, a commitment to mobility, choice, and change. Unhappily my explanations of this sequence of personal development were often misinterpreted to mean 'Get stoned and abandon all constructive activity'.â Timothy Leary

I Met The Walrus...

In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview about peace. 38 years later, Jerry has produced a film about it. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative which tenderly romances Lennon's every word in a cascading flood of multipronged animation. Raskin marries the terrifyingly genius pen work of James Braithwaite with masterful digital illustration by Alex Kurina, resulting in a spell-binding vessel for Lennon's boundless wit, and timeless message.

TransCanada Transpondency

Adam Gratrix continues on another 2 week adventure across Canada
with his travel companion Damien.

A travelogue, of sorts.

Part 10:
Special edition. The night before Adam leaves for home, the boys and him head into Toronto to meet up with a few of their podcaster friends along The Danforth. Ken, the Scarborough Dude of Description; and John Meadows of On The Log (who, unfortunately, had to pack it in early). After a few pint of beer, the recorder was turned on. This are some the conversations we had that night, raw and unedited for better of worse. Music:
Geoff Berner
"Light Enough to Travel" (mp3)
from "Light Enough to Travel"
(Sudden Death Records)

Part 9:
Now back home in Brampton, Damien and his brother Shaun show Adam a good time in suburbia. From one seedy stripclub to another, they burn off some lingering exuberance and, of course, some hard earned money. Then its time for friends to say goodbye until the next cross Canada adventure.

Part 8:
Adam and Damien attend the first few days of the Montreal Jazz Festival. Drinking beers and smoking cigarettes, they wander through the crowds. Late one night, they decide the best way to get back to Westmount is to walk across the city. When it's finally time to leave Montreal, there is a confusion with their train tickets.
