Craigslist rocks, period. Sure, you can get messed around by some people, but that's part of the package. I got a free Nintendo N64 from a friend who was moving away to london, England, thinking I would play it from time to time.

Turns out that was a mistake, since I played it once -testing it out! After a New Year's house cleaning marathon, we decided to "good will" it. But before sending it out, I thought i'd give it a shot and craigslist it. Checking out Ebay i was surprised to see some going for $50-60 bux, and decided to go for it and postied it for $50 on cragistlist.

Sure enough, I got 5 emails of people interested, and this cool rocker named Rich came by to buy it at my house. How sweet is that? woo hoo!

The iciing on the cake: I was given doubles of 4 games, and someone is potentially gonna buy 'em from me for $15. So i could end up with $65 if it all works out.

***UPDATE*** I did sell my extra N64 games so $65 is mine!

GO CRAIGS' LIST!

I just found out about a special 2-night run at the Diesel Playhouse downtown, January 27 & 28. I can't wait to see this again!

A couple of years ago, I saw a one-act play at the Toronto FRINGE festival called "Antoine Feval". It's a masterpiece by a comedian named Chris Gibbs, also known for his work on "The Power of Ignorance".

I was with my ex-SBF at the time, fringing from show to show, when he heard people talking about this one. The beauty of FRINGE is that you really don't know when you'll end up seeing over the 2-week long festival. Because of the massive range of plays and 100% random selection process of play selections for the festival, you have to rely on word-of-mouth or reviews from EYE or NOW Magazine to get to the best ones.

Anyway, we heard about this one man show being totally outstanding.. and they were correct. It's a story told from the eyes of Barnaby, a witless idiot with a great heart set in the 1800s. Baranby is the sidekick to Antoine Feval, who is the equivalent to the world famous detective sleuth Sherlock Homes.

Chris Gibbs' performance is flawlessly sharp, witty and dry. His story is bigger than one man, captivating and tickling the audience with his dry and self-depreciating humour.

He's only done this show for two nights, so check it out if you can!

Take care
