Welcome to my castle, bwaha ha ha!


Hello Anderfamily,

I've started this blog to keep up with news of us Andersons, Corkerys, Rollers, Laskars, Andersons, uh, Corkerys, um, I know I am forgetting a few names. You all are implored to join. I'll send youse directions and other vital recipes soon. I'm hoping that we can keep up with daily events that are important or at least funny with this blog, because a bunch of us Anderphiles are not in the vicinity of Club 852. It sounds much better than saying Lisle, I think. So, onwards.

News from Ste Agathe des Monts. I told Maria the story about Black Mariah, you know, it being Melba's purse and all, and Maria claimed that she was the new and improved Black Mariah. She's done it so often now that when we visit the little restaurant in the next town where all the smooth people hang out, people nod their heads at her. Yes, they agree. You are Black Mariah. Now will you please get off of the table top?

The restaurant in question is called Arthemesia, located in the town of St Adolphe d'Howard. An awkward sounding name. But a town that is vastly vastly different than ours, even though it's only a ten minute drive away. A lot of musicians from elsewhere come to play at Arthemesia. And other artists too. So much so that after a few of us made a count of the variety of weirdos, excuse me, artistes, who are regulars there. We discovered that we had enough experience, chutzpah, desire and lack of money to start talking about making a movie (rather than actually doing so). The featured character? Black Mariah. So far we've got a cameraman, editor, director, sound person, musicians galore, a PR/marketing person, one artisan / woodworker, a few songwriters, a few technicians with their own studios, a few actors, a caterer, a dishwasher (yours truly), a couple of writers (see: dishwasher), a guy with a fat pinkie ring, two photogenic dogs, two bilingual children who look like pirates, and a cast of others. We even have a French girl from the Alps.

Details to follow. After we finish praying to St Jude for hopeless causes.

The picture from left to right is Valery (singer who I'll be giving links to her songs in a later post), Kristeen, the Director, and Neil (another musician who I'll post links to later). They stand outside Arthemesia just after making their first prayer to St Jude, and some other faux-saints (does St. GetMeAnotherBeer count?).
