• Friday May 1 thru Sunday May 3: Attended an intense Budokon Academy weekend being held here in Montreal. The martial art practice's founder Cameron Shayne and his wife Liz were in town for this academy weekend. A combination of theory and working it hard over 3-days with 12-hours per day of theory and training. A good time and a heck of a workout. Congratulations to my Budoko buddies who attained their red belts. A dinner hosted by the local Sensei over the weekend and a group dinner out @ Claremont on Friday evening. Had to slide out for a period Saturday morning from the training to get episode # 117 of The Earth Lounge into the station and do a final edit to what I recorded very early Saturday morning using my home studio.
