BIG BIG COLD - BIG BIG SNOW

by PETER EVANCHUCK
mmm some things can be overcome
like CANCER can turn some into couch fries burning in remorse and pain
others can make silly movies in BIG SNOW country, NB

one of several uses of an umbrella on location of the filmaking team called
ONE MAN 

good fun yesterday during NB feather snow falling all day no wind so was such a delight for my solo shoot
left fir trees laden heavy with sagging snow creating enormous produciton value
to my little 'no budget' drama ( a no manners drama so anti Canadian )

photo by HELENE LACELLE, in the NB woods during -20c feather snowfall - umbrella keeps snow off my camera ( too bad u can't seen flakes )

We lived at 165 Bathurst on the 6th floor, corner loft - right near the action and the all night screeching streetcars. Never slept better.

In conversation at the 95 Bus stop


A kindly older woman asked me yesterday morning while waiting for the 95 bus, the way to get to 200 Lees Avenue, the new Ottawa University campus.

" I'm volunteering at the School of Nursing, I play an old lady who's husband has a heart attack at home and dies. We play-out the possible scenarios should they be called to a similar real scene.
I'll kill off two husbands today"

Says me, " Possibly you've done the same thing in your real life"

Nice old lady, " Good God no! My husband of 46 years died in my arms in CHURCH! He went to kneel and passed out on the floor. The priest says his soul never even touched the ground and went straight to heaven"

Harry


Harry on Rideau St. proud of the hat he says he made himself but a bit disappointed that all he could find at home was a pink string to tie it down. I asked Harry if that was his Halloween hat he said no but then went on to explain  the time he was in Japan near Mt. High in a field of tall grasses and somehow cut and bent the tall grasses to make himself a pair sandals.

Helene and Jessie, Toronto, 1988


My loftmate Jessie decided she would enter the Marilyn Monroe look-a-like
contest one night way back in 1988.  Our friend Jano,
fabulous hair dresser and living in our stairwell at the time, transformed Jessie
into Marilyn.

We took a streetcar to ‘Buddies In Bad Time’ theater for the event. Jessie made a scene on the streetcar by sitting on any man’s lap who would have her.
Once there we soon realized Jessie was going to win without any trouble, her only competition was a 6 foot, 250 pounds  transvestite.

Jessie got on stage, sang ‘Happy Birthday Mr. President’ and 200 gay men went crazy,
she won first prize of $50. 

We took the streetcar back and again Jessie 'worked the floor' to much hilarity. We ended up at the Beresford Tavern on Queen East near Seaton - cheap beer and wild locals.
