Alright the backyard started to smell in the past couple of weeks and I've discovered why. There's a family of skunks that live under our garage. I'll see them every now and then walking in the back alleys. They only come out at night and appear in ephermeral visits; popping out of bushes, rustling in the garbage. I'm not too sure what to do. It's a shame that such an endearing animal can vicously stink up the neighborhood. And there's the segue, speaking of neighborhoods Ohbijou recently played a house show in my neighborhood on Bellwoods. There was an art show, projections, a stunning set by Timber Timbre in the backyard and a raucous dance party with Bocce. We raised approximately $500 for the Daily Bread Food Bank and the entire event was captured on film. Ohbijou recently received a grant from PromoFact and with Winston Hacking (exploding motorcar) at the helm of the project we decided to film the event and turn it into an EPK which we will debut in the next coming months.

As well we just finished recording songs for the upcoming 12" split that we will be releasing with our good friends The Acorn. A tour has been planned in support of this project and info on this North American jaunt will be coming soon.

Our album is almost finished (yes!) and that will be out early 2009.

In sadder news, Andrew Kinoshita our beloved mandolin/guitar player is moving to Halifax for school. He will be greatly missed but we aren't too sad because we know we'll be playing music with him in the future.

those are all our updates for now.

have a lovely day,
casey.
