So my camera’s from an iPhone 11, so not the crispest shots. But y’all. The aurora borealis over Vancouver Island last night:
(the different brightnesses are because I was playing with different exposures)

A Preview of BC's Vintage 2022 With the Winemakers
A Preview of BC's Vintage 2022 With the Winemakers

BC 2022 Vintage Preview
In the late Fall, I interviewed a few BC winemakers about their 2022 harvest, but the wines were still fermenting in tanks, barrels or other vessels. The winemakers sounded optimistic, thanks to the warm Fall weather. But how would the wines taste? This we explored with the following winemakers at the BC Vintage 2022 media preview:

TW: MMIWG, dea'th, p0lice incompetence
-
-
-
-
just after the soccer tournament in Cowichan Valley / Duncan, on 05.15.2023, a fifteen year old indigenous girl (my lil cousin)'s b0dy was found barely clinging to life beneath wooden pallettes, cardboard, and garbage behind the Super 8... then sadly passed in the hospital. the RCMP said that they don't believe there was any criminal activity involved and feel like they don't need to look any further into the case which is absolutely appalling. somebody deliberately covered her up and left her to pass. i'd say that i can't believe the p0lice won't look further into the situation, but i know how useless they are—especially when it comes to Indigenous women and girls.
cowichanvalleycitizen(.)com put a brief article up about it for more info... idk i'm just hoping to spread the word and not let this get swept under the rug.

So,
I'm going to be living and breathing Hamlet for the next three weeks, from our first show on Thursday evening until our final show in early November.
The most recent issue of the Cowichan Valley Citizen features a story about our production, written by Chadd Cawson. It includes a fascinating interview with our director Laura Faulkner and information about how she's decided to donate partial proceeds to the Men's Therapy Centre.
"This summer marked five years since the suicide of a dear friend, and I’ve seen others I know and love descend into very dark places when they’re in unresolved pain," she said.
"A shocking number of people I know have lost loved ones, especially men, to mental-health related tragedies, and there are so few socially acceptable ways for men to process their emotions in healthy ways."
As someone who has grappled with mental health issues myself, that means a lot to me.
It's been a real journey to work with Laura as she navigates the process of conjuring up a text that's so familiar to so many people, then trying to discover new angles and unique elements to make it her own. I really appreciate her dedication to depicting the psychological reality of the characters, and the fun flourishes she's added — such as a troupe of hilarious mimes who appear throughout to embody the words being spoken onstage.
Besides playing Laertes in this show — a choice role that includes vowing colourful revenge, experiencing deep grief and then sword-fighting to the death — I also took on some new publicity and promo responsibilities for the Shawnigan Players this time around. It's been an awesome experience to peek behind the scenes and work with the production crew, including our awesome stage manager Megan Bourns.
When you come to see Hamlet, the program will include headshots, promo photos and behind the scenes shots that I took in the last month. You'll also find a link to a YouTube video that I filmed and edited that features the cast taking turns delivering the immortal lines of the "To be or not to be" soliloquy.
Today I swung by the Duncan Showroom, where owner Longevity John Faulkner was transforming his quirky little venue along with our team to prepare for the 10 performances ahead of us. It's an intimate space with a multi-layered stage that will beautifully transport audiences to the misty, haunted setting of Elsinore Castle in Denmark.
Like All's Well That Ends Well this summer, being involved in this show has been one of the most rewarding, immersive and fulfilling experiences of my life. This year I've rediscovered my passion for acting, fallen in love with Shakespeare's work in a way I didn't previously think possible, and found a new hobby that I feel will sustain me as the Johnson family continues to acclimatize to life in Duncan.
I hope you can come see our show!

Christie Falls Hike
A mid-June hike to Christie Falls, Ladysmith, Vancouver Island, British Columbia. At the right time of year, there are several spectacular waterfalls that can be viewed on this easy walk.
If you haven’t had a chance to walk out to Christie Falls in Ladysmith, British Columbia make sure to add it to your list. You have a number of options to hike out to the short trail that leads to the waterfalls. However, the easiest access point is via Arroyo Road.
