Well, folks, it's official. Katr has a fancy new job and we are a-movin' to Vancouver! Like, uh . . . NOW! I know, I know - it's as surprising as a picture of me with Lex's hilarious, delicious and much appreciated Timbit bouquet!
Jealous? I was thinking about getting headshots done at some distant point in the future, but now I don't have to! Because no photo will ever represent the inner me quite like this one. Well . . . maybe a photo where I was eating one of the Timbits.
And now it's time for my favourite part of any largely informational post: the FAQ's.
FAQ: What's . . . HAPPENING?
A: Well, it's like this. We're moving to Vancouver. So we're packing up everything we want. We're giving away or selling anything that we don't want to pay shipping for. We're puttin' most of the furniture up on Craig's List (links to follow), so if you're local and want our furniture, we can hook you up, man! Yeeeeeeah!
FAQ: But THEN what's happening? When is Katr leaving? And Roro - aren't you doing a Fringe tour?
A: Yes, yes, that's right. Chgi and I are still leaving for Saskatoon on July 27th. And Katr will be taking off near the beginning of August.
FAQ: Do you have a place in Vancouver yet?
A: No, we don't! Know of a great one bedroom plus den, 800 square foot apartment downtown that we can rent at a reasonable price? Seriously, do you? E-mail me!
FAQ: Does this mean that you guys are selling your beautiful two-bedroom, two-bath condo with hardwood floors throughout, located steps from the subway and gays, with a rooftop pool and ensuite laundry?
A: Why yes, yes we are! Interested? Seriously, are you? E-mail me!
FAQ: Why Vancouver?
A: Well, Katr's amazing job opportunity is the reason behind the timing, but we've been talking about moving to Vancouver for quite awhile. We love Toronto but the year-round smog and nasty summer heat combined with my crazy allergies make me feel like I'm a little bit ill all the time. Also, we're ready for an adventure! Also, Katr says we can get a dog! A basset hound! And we'll call the hound "Dibley"!
FAQ: Will you be referring to yourselves as "Dibley's mommies"?
A: GAH. No. BUT we may have shirts made up for OUR mothers with a picture of Dibley on it and a caption that reads "Dibley's Grandma". But with the high cost of living in Vancouver, we may not have the jack for comedy gifts.
FAQ: Wait a minute - aren't you the playwright-in-residence at Buddies next year? And isn't Buddies in Toronto? And while the playwright-in-residence doesn't get to actually live at the theatre, shouldn't you at least be in Toronto?
A: Well, quite. So Chgi and I finish up our tour in Vancouver in September. Then I'm coming back for a Toronto victory lap for October/November and January/February! I am looking forward to some gypsy-esque subletting/house-sitting/couch-surfing this fall and winter. I do dishes, people with couches! And I make great omelettes!
FAQ: Well, it sounds like you'll be up our ass for a few more months. But in the wake of this precipitous departure, how do I convey my good wishes to the lovely Katr?
A: That's what blogs are for! Head over to www.mynameiskate.ca and leave her a comment!
Blogging may be a little sporadic over the next couple of weeks while we pack our entire lives up and get ready to sell our home! HA ha! Then again, maybe there will be a lot of short posts with hilarious pictures of crap I find in the storage locker. History will decide.
