It turns out that not only does the former colourist of Dale Keowen's PITT comic shop at our store, but she's the current girlfriend of "High School Confidential" singer and Rough Trade group founder Carole Pope. They both just left our store

Very cool :)

I worked with Alisa Palmer, when she was in town directing "The Attic, The Pearls and 3 Fine Girls".

Anne-Marie came down for the opening.

Ann-Marie is a very nice lady. Friendly, approachable.

And very funny (not as tense as she seemed in the article). I think she and Alisha were kind a new couple at that point. We had a blast :)

[fishsanwitt]

Sorry, I meant 'Alisa' - I'm half-asleep here.

Sherilyn Fenn? Pity you didn't have a bowl of cherries on the counter.

[papajoemambo]

Yeah - she was in "shy mode" that day tho.

CT,

"Yes, I Remember It Well", & I still harbour resentment over it, as it seemed @ odds with the CanCon laws that were being newly imposed then: "We'll play Canadian Music, but only if we can censor it!"

JOSEPH,

I came *this close* to being MS. CAROLE POPE'S drummer throughout the 1990's, partly due to the fact that I was playing w/ MICHAELE JORDANA & THE POLES, partly due to the fact that a former lover of mine's new beau was managing her affairs, & partly because I was & am a ROUGH TRADE™ enthusiast of long standing, largely on the basis of my admiration for MS. POPE’S singular vocal & lyrical style (& because she's very much My Type, with her prominent nose & jet black hair!)
