Hi guys....

I thought I'd write to let you know that ticket information for our
week in Vancouver will be announced during Monday's show. (I wish
we could book things in-advance by email, but we've already had over
a hundred enquiries and there just aren't enough tickets. So no
email; you'll have to watch on Monday.)

Also, I hosted a meeting the other day with George, our Executive
Producer, and the folks from the CBC Shop. We approved a new t-
shirt design and brainstormed up some new toys: belt buckles, nose
rings, etc. You know, CBC merch... stuff your grandma would approve
of. If you have any other ideas, send me a note and I'll be sure to
include them at our next meeting.

And, to answer all those questions about how to access our old video
clips, the new Archive I promised should be launching soon. We ran
into a few encoding glitches with the new video formats, but they
were totally my fault; I'm working to fix them now. Once all
the old clips have been converted, the entire site will be updated
to replace the old Real Media clips with higher-quality Quicktime
and Windows Media clips (as requested).

If there's anything else I can do, just let me know.

Cheers,


Jeremy
