1. Wow, October is almost here. I'd hoped to be able to go back to doing a trad sit-down Thanksgiving (October 9) for the usual suspects, but given the loved one's illness it probably won't happen. Maybe we can all find a way to celebrate ad hoc later in the season when things have calmed down a little bit.

2. Hugh's Room is back, though the space itself is not yet fully accessible (they're doing a fundraising campaign to fix this). The last time I was at the old location was to see James Keelaghan (circa 2007, before Oliver Schroer's death). Welcome back to a much-loved live-music venue--sadly, a critically endangered species in Toronto.

3. Finally, finally, we're going to get season 2 of Surreal Estate. It starts on October 4 on what used to be Space (in Canada) and is now CTV Sci-Fi something-or-other. I was curious about George R. Olson, the creator and showrunner, and found this article. Not a bad start for someone doing his first TV production. I'm so looking forward to seeing all the people at the Roman Agency again.

4. I've developed a bit of a thing for Moopsy. I loved For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched This Guy by curator, and I think I could probably consume as much Moopsyfic as the universe cares to provide.

But we should see Pike again next week, so that's something to look forward to.
