When ADHD & late nights collide:

I woke up relatively early this morning, 8:30 despite not getting to bed til 2. Breakfast was trail mix, then a granola bar. I was still hungry, made myself some oatmeal. But after 2 hours on here, I was also still pretty tired, so went back to bed, dozing until after 2pm. Finally get myself dressed, I'm pretty hungry, what do I want for lunch? Hmm, all I had for breakfast was trail mix, I'm kind of in the mood for oatmeal to fill me up. I get oat the oats & raisins, remember that I did this already this morning. Check the sink. Yeah, there's an old oatmeal bowl there on the pile of dirty dishes. Oatmeal for breakfast and lunch is a bit much, I guess I should think of something else. Look through the fridge & cupboards, but I'm not in the mood for anything else that's easy, and now it's in my head, I really want oatmeal. I start pouring raisins in a bowl. Stop. Look at the sink again. Check the microwave. Yep, this morning's oatmeal is still sitting there, waiting for me. 🙃

A reminder that border guards have a lot of power to make arbitrary decisions no matter which country they work for...

Retro country singer Charley Crockett had to cancel his Canadian tour last minute because border agents flagged an old marijuana possession conviction. Trying again a day later at a different border crossing got him an even sterner warning. This despite the fact he's played in Canada multiple times in the past few years. (And the fact that marijuana possession hasn't been criminal in Canada for nearly a decade.)

RE: @AmeliasBrain@mstdn.ca

Checking out the competition...

  • Griffin Lindal plays soft grunge (think Nirvana unplugged & others from that era).
  • Amelia Byrd (😉) plays rootsy R&B with big vocals over solo electric bass guitar.
  • Josh Slawinski is a mystery, with as little online presence as I have. Edit: but I'd seen him at open stages as "Ernest Errands".
  • 0Stella plays pop-rock ("alt-rock Irish fusion" per her bio) & is the closest to full-time professional musician on the list.
  • Chris Friskie seems to be a roots-rock (Edit: country) guy but I didn't find any music samples.
  • Lane Auger poses like a tough-guy rapper Edit: wrong guy. Another online ghost, but sounded great!
  • Francis Kavanagh plays country-folk (think John Prine with a little Stompin' Tom) & performs regularly around town at open stages, community festivals, & other tragically underpaid gigs.
  • Sperniee raps over trippy grooves.

(quietly, in the background, you hear Amelia muttering fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, what have I done? I'd sent an email Wednesday evening, while I was out playing & feeling confident & had just talked to the event host Adam Holm. But after not hearing from the bar manager for three days I figured it had gone to spam & oh well, Adam said they're planning to do this every other month, so I'll reach out again in April when I'll be that much more prepared! But oops, no, now I've got less than a week to prepare. And to remind myself that it's just like the open stages I've been doing, except with a longer set and the chance of money at the end! That's a simple equation, yes? I got this. Sure I do. 😅 Would love to see you there, though. 😁) #AmeliasMusic

🎇Important last minute addition to the February music listings 🎆 On February 26, the last Thursday of the month Battle of the Bands at the Five & Dive pub in West Edmonton Mall will be a Solo Act version. A Solo Cup, if you will. Music starts 8:30pm (and probably goes to 11:30?), no cover, 18+. The venue markets themselves on affordable snacks & drinks. https://www.fiveanddive.ca/battle-of-the-bands But that's not the important part. The important part is that one of the competitors will be Amelia Byrd (👋🏻). So, uh, if you've been curious about hearing what I've been doing & can get out to the big mall on a Thursday night, come say hi & help increase my audience enthusiasm vote! (If you are curious but not near Edmonton, you'll have to convince someone who is in Edmonton to come & take a video or something.) #YEGmusic #AmeliasMusic

February in Edmonton! When the sun stays in the sky longer, but the snow & ice still stick around — and there's lots to do indoors & out. And hey, we're less than a week in & I've got a calendar thread for you all! Which is important because there are lots of excellent concerts, plus theatre & festivals, all starting this weekend! #YEG Festivals & Special Events: Still on: Winter City Weekends at the City Hall rink. "Ice Grooves" has DJs planning Fri & Sat evenings, while "Swing & Skate" on Sunday afternoons has live bands playing inside City Hall (dancing encouraged), with the audio piped outside to the skaters. Back on after melt-related closure (unless it's melted again...): Ice Castles at Fan Park downtown. $15-24 (+fees). Feb 7&8: Togather Chinatown Arts Festival at Pacific Mall (105 Ave @ 97 St), with a vendor's market and live performances. 1/??
