That was a long run! I pushed harder than expected. I ran across Burnaby, from west to east, and finished in the corner of New Westminster, at Braid Station. My feet are sore after almost 15 km!

Sir Douglas Quintet, Live From Austin TX, 2006 on New West

Doug Sahm’s Sir Douglas Quintet recorded in 1981 but released in 2006 (on CD/DVD) / 2018 (vinyl) – live on Austin City Limits. (In 1981 that means the old Studio 6A at UT Austin, not the new Moody Theater).

This was part of a reunion tour after the quintet split up in the early 70s when Sahm put out his solo album.

My copy via a private sale is the 2018 three-sided LP version with one side etched, pressed by MPO.

Dear #NewWest. Daniel Fontaine and Paul Minhas are the whiniest, most dishonest councillors. They don't care about the city or its inhabitants, weaponize their rhetoric against the unhoused and other at-risk populations and block progress for petty reasons.
They suck.
Just thought you should know.

We are starting to plan out our schedule for tabling in the next few months! We will potentially be at #NewWest Craft in March (just waiting for confirmation), and at #SliceOfLife also in March... Hopefully we can get something in in April, and we are already planning for an event in May!

Exciting!

On New West's (pretty good) plan to build a comprehensive bike network rather than piecemeal additions. Kudos to Patrick Johnstone for championing this vision.

Could have easily thrown on some #PaulineOliveros and other #accordion artists using the instrument’s acoustic #drone abilities

(Granted, not as unlimited as its free reed relatives the harmonium / reed organs with their extra air reservoir)

Wish I’d have remembered 🥱

Still time to jump out to #InternationalDroneDay workshops and events this weekend! 🦥 🪗

UPDATE:

If you lost a small box full of #NintendoSwitch games at 22nd Street Station, please contact TransLink’s Lost Property Office.

I just dropped them off there.

edit: If these games are not returned to their owner, I’ll ask they be donated to Covenant House, a charity that supports homeless youth in Vancouver.

Help them by donating a few bucks to help them get a few Switches.

The ugly side of snow days: the days after are not warm enough to melt the snow, but the cars create ditches in the snow that hold water, and one has to stick the foot in the mud juice. #snow #mud #NewWestminster #newwest #britishcolumbia

@anthonyfloyd I think that's over 30cm of #snow in #NewWest but I'm not going out to measure it

Lights are on in the Pier West construction in #NewWest - and also is it just me or does the Anvil Centre remind you of something from #Blakes7 ?
