070629 - Marrickville

Today will be slightly infamous as the day the First Nations had a National Day of Protest.

For those in other countries, the Canadian Government has a lot of unfulfilled promises to the peoples who first inhabited this land. The Natives. The Indians.

So, I had a lot of trouble going east out of Toronto. I was 3 hours late for the gig in Marrickville but I still got to play.

I played at a Youth Community Centre. The crowd was the teenaged kids of Marrickville.

Marrickville is beautiful, so I’m staying in my van, on the street overnight as so I can hang out here tomorrow. We’re not too far from Ottawa, where I play tomorrow.

Introduction from Toronto Home

Welcome to the log for my Jimi Maze Down Home(y) Tour.

I will be keeping an mix of stories and pictures and video of my first official tour to my Mother’s Mudderland, being Cape Breton Island.

To start off, I’m busy getting my shit together in Toronto, in the Canadian Province of Ontario. Toronto is divided into mini-country neighborhoods like lil’ India, and Chinatown, and lil’ Korea and lil’ Italy. I’ve been living in “lil’ Jamaica” for about 2 years now. My home is littered with undies and socks and guitar cords and CDs as I pack for a month’s trip.

Yesterday, I made this test video about my Toronto home.
