sweet action The Ridiculous Institue of Funny Brunch! It’s a wonderful meal most anytime of year, but it’s also what happens when Canadian comedy legends Ken Hall and Isaac Kessler team up with Canadian Gordon Neill to get Canadian and create a spiritually mathematical science based approach (patent pending) to creative play©. It’s our own school! But we only have recess. Sundays beginning Jan 8 and finishing on Feb 12, 11am - 2pm (THAT’S BRUNCH BB). We’re offering this first run at a discounted price of $200, and when we run it again it will bounce back to it’s regular price of $300. We are expecting a lot of interest (oh boy I hope there’s interest, if not I’m going to unsubscribe from this newsletter myself). So we’re implementing a lottery system! I can’t win a lottery to save my life so time to create one. Registration and a little more detail can be found herrr: Click here for RIF Brunch! lottery registration ASSFest wipe-up Whelp, ASSFest concluded and it took me this long to recover. Big shoutouts to Isaac Kessler for putting the whole thing together, Mark Andrada for adding a little (or a lot) something special to the livestreams and all the artists and supporters for coming out and showing their ASS or watching DATASS. It was probably a lot bigger success than we all could have imagined. So big in fact that ASSFest colon Number 2 is already being discussed. Lemon-lime ASSBlasts are not only delicious but they are hilarious when opened strategically. Thanks to everybody for just being you. I love you. Oh, also, I RELENTLESSLY CRIED IN THE SHOWER because of ASSFest but I wasn’t sad. THAT’S HOW YOU KNOW YOU ASSed RIGHT Gemma Soldati TAKEOVER Feb 9-13 Gemma “BIG SWING” Soldati is returning to Sweet Action. Gemma is a delight X2, and interestingly was the wordsmith of “Sweet Action Sweeties” which I LOVE. She has arguably TOO MANY THINGS TO LIST coming up but HERE WE GO WITH A LIST (for long time readers yes I HAVE RECYCLED THAT JOKE but for new readers I just thought of that joke) [CLICK ON THE PICS FOR DEETS {deets means details!}] Play Play returns Mondays in January beginning January 9. Janice is going to send me some copy for the next newsletter, but just WHETTING the ATETTITE bb Corporate Shilling FOR DAYZ Here’s a fun one. I’m CORPORATE SHILLING FOR MYSELF. So, I’m done school! During pandemic I pandemic’d my way into a BA in Songwriting and Producing Music at the Berklee School of Music. Now that it’s done I know a lot more than I used to and I’m looking to start helping people with Voice Over Demo Reel production AND/OR Songwriting/Music Production stuff. HMU with an email. Corey and Morgan (local Sweet Action Sweeties) helped me out with my final project which was to produce voice over demos for them. I think they sound fun and cool! And right now I’m just looking for experience so I’m CHEAP. OH NO I still have to go buy presents for people and I’m running out of time :(. Fun fact from several years ago that may no longer hold, December 23 traditionally was the busiest in-person shopping day of the year. So would always shop on December 24 and it was a dream because MALLS WERE EMPTY. Your only real issue was selection. NO SELECTION ON DECEMBER 24. But snowstorm may have bunged me. New SECTION: OP ED by Victoria Heck yes, Victoria Watejak is now a member of the Sweet Action newsletter team and has crafted an Op-Ed piece. I’m not editing it. IT’S OP-ED As some of you may have heard, Gordon is struggling. After checking in on him yesterday, while no longer bed ridden, I could see it in his soulless eyes: this newsletter is killing him. It’s not his fault. G makes scolding tasty art with these emails. But people don’t SEE, they don’t have the EYEs-- so they unsubscribe. What does this mean? Well, it means we’re just going to have to bring in a fresh new baby audience! STRAP IN, You are about to get some HOT , mouthwatering young Journalism! **** TRANSITION **** Pow pow !!! AHHH!! Ok. There's A LOT of talk about how Tattoos are “PERMANENT”. But I wanna lay it all down for you, sound good! You CAN will and should get a fish tattoo. Look at this: That’s a fish. A person, a HUMAN person went to the tattoo store, slapped down their card, and said, PUT IT ON ME, ARTIST! Take a gaggle at these: Aren’t they the literal cutest fucking god dang little frickin things you have ever seen in god damn silly small small life? Picture this. You have a group of friends. Let’s say they all like “clown”, and one of them is named “Victoria”. You go to the tattoo building. You WHIP these HONEYBOYS out and say, “Oh hello Mx. Tattoo person! we are so COMMITTED to each other, we’re gonna get these needled into our bodies as soulful linkage?? That sound fresh to you?????? Best for last, pop a squat: This is steamy. I’m being serious. I’m not joking. If I met someone with this tattoo, it would all be over for me. I MEAN IT!!!!! While I got your attention! Sweet Action is deserving. Of your time. Your mind.
