My friends, I'm one of the many people who had more than one person in their life that wanted to introduce me to "The Secret".
Without going into big time details, it's the power of positive thinking and visualizing yourself achieving goals. Oh, and the doctors/researchers/generally hairy mystics who want you to live by "The Secret" try to make it sound much more difficult than just that, so maybe you'll have to buy their publications/videos/hemp clothes (but definitely not razors) to make yourself more one with "The Secret".
Well guess what? Those unique-framed glasses-wearing ladies and gents are coming to our fair city to spread their wisdom and patchouli. And who did they pick for for their promoters?
Panhandle and Trickstar Productions... could the names of their promoters be more perfectly picked?
Oh, irony. You are my favourite mistress.

A Confession: Theatre Buff? No.
I'm comfortable with finally admitting it: I don't go to live theatre.
It's a mistake I plan on fixing with the upcoming theatre season. It's not some sort of weird obligation that I'm feeling, it's really a strong desire to start enjoying what my friends are doing. I mean, it's not like I've never gone to live theatre. It's just that I go about as often as I go to hockey games or weddings... So, like, once or twice a year.
There's only so long that I can continue to be uninvolved in the world that I constantly continue to educate myself in. I've been to College, University, private academies and Workshops, workshops, workshops, all so that I could be an actor. I have spent at least 4 years of my life training and fighting and sweating and losing my hair (that could just be a coincidence) to be involved in and enjoy theatre, and if that means watching it and appreciating it from the sidelines, then so be it.
I've got a lot of good choices coming up. Out of those 60(!!!) theatre companies/co-ops operating in the city, there's bound to be some reeking of awesomeness. Here's what I've found so far for September:
A Beautiful View @ the Roxy Theatre (Theatre Network) September 20-October 7.

The Maids @ Timms Centre for the Arts, (Studio Theatre) September 20-29

Pub Night Variety Show @ Jeckyl and Hyde Pub (Image Theatre) September 22-23
