View from the Edge

Well, I’ve finally managed to get the video from my show this past weekend edited for online. Its posted at my you-tube, and also on my FaceBook (search for Elron Steele on FaceBook). It was a lot of fun to play at the Esplanade, and meet everyone, and overall I am very happy […]

I’ve discussed the concept of “interesting” photos in Flickr before … the main flick Explore page is an excellent portal into some of the most stunning photographs being taken around the world

I’ve never lived in Ottawa, and other than the fact it is my nation’s capitol, I have very little connection to it. However, like most other Canadians, as of this evening I am an unofficial “Ottowan” when the Ottawa Senators take to the ice against the Anaheim Ducks in game 1 of the Stanley Cup final …

Well, the show is over and done with, and I’m pretty sure a good time was had by all. Overall I think crowd response was excellent, and the Esplanade is really a great room to perform in …

For my local Medicine Hat readers, another plug for the show tonight at the Esplanade. Skeet over at Mad Hatter’s Blog ran a great plug for us yesterday, and it looks like the show is going to a busy one …

Keys
Like a lost set of keys
I found God

Walking through the garden

One of the coolest things about living on the prairies so far north (well, I’m far north for most of the world … for Canada, or other northern countries, I’m actually a southerner, lol) is the northern lights. I can imagine early settlers getting their first look at the dancing lights and being in complete awe …

The times, they are a-changin’ OK, thats a really cheesy music lyric reference and only tangentially related, but you will notice some changes around here today. I am hoping the upgrade to 2.2 was transparent as far as use is concerned, but I’ve taken the opportunity to update my look a little bit with a new theme as well. I might be playing around with themes for the next few weeks actually …

Well its official … I am the winner of the “So you think you’re funny” contest in conjunction with Stephanie Foley’s Heart and Stroke Foundation benefit show this coming weekend at the Esplanade, so it looks like I’ll be doing a few minutes of my show. Even without my involvement, it looks to be fantastic show in support of a good cause …

I was hoping to get two shows in this week in Calgary, but while I did get a spot at Yuk Yuk’s on Tuesday night, the Comedy Monday Night at Dickens isn’t running this week because of the long weekend. Hopefully, next time I make it to Calgary will be on a week that I can hit Dickens as well. I decided not to go up to Edmonton this week … its a lot of driving and from Thursday on I have a pretty busy week, though I will definitely be back up there for another crack at the Crash and Burn Wednesday …
