Our first cat, Magritte;

We celebrate his birthday

with fond memories.

Below is a small sample of the records of Thomas Studnary, my wife’s grandfather. Born in 1927, he worked (while a minor) as a trackman for a railroad company, served as a Seaman on the Pacific front in World War II, the Coast Guard, moved through barbering school and working at a coal mine before moving to Long Island where he began a long career at a hospital. He and his wife Angeline had three children. He passed away in 1994.

Enough time for a haiku

right before midnight.

Hey folks.

If you’re planning on swinging by Transistor on Saturday, February 19th, heads-up: we’re taking the month off. Don’t that let that deter you, though. If you’re in the market for a clock made out of a record or a miniature theramin, Transistor is the place to go. Trust me: you’ll feel about 63% hipper just by walking in the door.

Otherwise, check out the revival of Postmortem, our improvised documentary based on performance days’ obituaries, at the Viaduct Theatre on Western.

The next Frequency will be on Saturday, March 19th at 8pm. As usual, it won’t cost you a dime, and as usual, we will have free drinks and snacks on hand.

Hope to see you there. . . if not at Postmortem.

This winter has been

quite a trying time for us…

Let Springtime commence.
