HAPPY NEW YEAR

What, too soon? It’s a thing with me, actually, I’m not comfortable with the Happy New Years until one month after Christmas. Until that point I go with a simple “Merry Christmas”.

Hope everyone has enjoyed their holidays, recovery from holidays, return to work, soul-crushing winter blahs, and fevered Groundhog Day anticipation. I’ve been keeping busy with little shows, little projects and a little human. But at long last, it’s time to announce some upcoming shows of interest (certainly to me).

Here’s what’s happening over the next couple of months:

MONTREAL

See me argue with Scott Faulconbridge re: resolution that society should clean up its language. Should be fucking awesome (guess which side I’m on)

Also just a reminder that there are CD’s and T-shirts for sale off www.davidpryde.com which I sell through US distributors. Meaning it’s in US dollars, meaning Canadians have been getting a deal on the exchange for the last couple of months and still do. Don’t miss the window of opportunity. It’s cross-border shopping without the awkward border conversation!

That seems to be it for the moment. More updates as things come up.

Happy New Year! Give or take a month.
