Beer Exchange Day 11

December 21, 2024 No Comments

Yesterday was just the most perfect late December day. In yesterday’s post, I talked about my really fantastic work lunch. (I just love eating very good food and getting to talk to acquaintances. That’s how you make friends!) After work, I ran a few errands, finished my Christmas shopping, and felt very productive. And then Tyler came over! We popped an edible and watched The Santa Clause and Muppet Christmas Carol. (We’re Canadian. It’s legal here and way cheaper than wine.) Plus I enjoyed Beer Exchange Day 11.

Ooh, and look at that locally purchased popcorn! The YYC Mix is specifically very good – it’s a mixture of spicy buffalo and maple syrup. Delicious. And, actually a pretty good pairing for Beer 11.

Sound Room

December 14, 2024 No Comments

Okay, I am getting this in just under the wire. I probably could have written another post earlier today, because I did have a little break between work at Moveology and going out. But for once in my life, I was ahead of a thing and I so wanted to write about it. So, a middle of the night post it is! Because today, Tyler and I went to Sound Room!

First, though, we swung by Market Collective, which long-time readers will know is one of my favourite holiday markets. It is the perfect mixture of fancy and mid-range artisans. This year, I didn’t get any delicious hummus, but I did fill out my Christmas shopping a little bit. And Tyler ate poutine perogies. Everyone won!

And then… 4pm rolled around. The time had come. The time for us to be trendsetters and make our way to 1st Street. To venture into the basement of the Calcutta Cricket Club and check out Sound Room.

As mentioned in his Beer Exchange post, Ol Beautiful is Tyler’s favourite Calgary brewery and he has been missing their taproom. Sound Room is similar, but different. It is vibey and cool. Maybe too cool. The bathrooms had affirmations playing on the day we were there. The bartenders were all very hip (yes, I used that word on purpose, it sounds funny!). It did sort of feel like hanging out in your coolest friend’s living room – especially with how good the music was. We Shazaam’ed more than one song while we were tucked away in a corner with our beers.

I should offer a caution. Sound Room should not be confused with a taproom. It doesn’t have the same vibes and I can’t see anyone hanging out there for hours, playing board games. It’s more like a very cool lounge, but a little bit less pretentious. And also beer. Good beer.

So when are you going to hit up Sound Room?

Beer Exchange Day 7

December 13, 2024 No Comments

Today is Beer Exchange Day 7, but before I get into that, I need you to celebrate something with me.

I did it! Finally, I did it! Unlike last week, I made it to Cochrane in ample time to see the play I attempted to see in that post. (Mostly because I knew what time it started at this time.) In fact, I actually made it there early enough that I was able to swing by Half Hitch Brewing to enjoy a thoroughly delicious brisket sandwich. Not really the type of thing I would normally go for, but I was drawn in by the dill pickles on it and it was totally worth it.

But what about the play, I hear you asking! It was a pantomime version of The Wizard of Oz, filled with songs new and old, and lots of shouting at the stage. (This is normal in a pantomime.) The costumes were elaborate, which is exactly what you need for something that takes place in Oz. And there was so much heart. I look forward to driving out to the Cochrane Ranchehouse yet again to see another play. But maybe in the daylight next time…

Oh, and the best part was that I was home before 10pm, even though it was a 45 minute drive home! And I celebrated by drinking Beer 7. Obviously.

Calgary Holiday Plays

December 12, 2024 1 Comment

The first Theatre Thursday of this year’s Blogmas is upon us, I’m about to go out for Kegnog, and I’m going to do a classic post today. I love a round-up post and y’all loved this post last year… why not do it again? Buckle in, grab your favourite lactose-y holiday drink, and read all about Calgary Holiday Plays.

A Christmas Carol (Theatre Calgary)

I mean, I had to include it. When people think of Calgary Holiday Plays(tm), they think A Christmas Carol.

But this year? Don’t even try. It’s so sold out that the pre-Christmas shows only have single tickets available. Plus, there are other amazing holiday plays out there that need your custom (aka, money). Go indie, check out the smaller theatres. A Christmas Carol will be waiting for you next year.

If you really want to try, it runs between Nov 29 – Dec 29. Your best bet for tickets is after Christmas, which is still fun and cozy!

Twelve Days (Forte Musical Theatre and Lunchbox Theatre)

You may remember that last year, I wrote about how it was the last year for Naughty… but Nice! I was curious about what Forte would come up with next. And the answer is here! Twelve Days is a cute little story about a boy who likes a girl but has a rich friend who also likes said girl. Perhaps it’s simple but the Joe Slabe music is certain to make it seem anything but simple. Plus, it has a 75 minute run time, so you can catch it during lunch or fit it and something else into full weekend evenings.

I know I’m curious and I’m sure you are too. You can catch this Calgary holiday play from Dec 3-21.

Puss in Boots (Morpheus Theatre)

Morpheus Theatre is back with a holiday tradition that we just don’t see enough of in Calgary – a pantomime! And not only a pantomime, but a purr-fect pantomime. Puss in Boots, opening tomorrow! Do you have little kids that always want to talk to the tv when they watch a movie? Then a pantomime is perfect for them! They’ll get to boo the bad guys, cheer for the heroes, shout at the actors when the person they are looking for is directly behind them. Plus, since its community theatre, it has a slightly lower price point and is the perfect opportunity to introduce a kid to theatre. What more could you ask for!?

I will be taking Rylee to see this play, who else is in? Puss in Boots runs from Dec 13-21.

Charlotte’s Web (Alberta Theatre Projects)

Finally! Alberta Theatre Projects is doing a holiday show that is actually good for the whole family! I’m going to be real – sometimes ATP goes way too “edgy” or “dark” for their holiday shows and I’ve felt like little kids have been excluded from the audience for a long time. We can still do creative things and push boundaries while making things that are fun for elementary school kids. And Charlotte’s Web does that! Everyone is raving about it!

It is playing from Nov 26 to Dec 29… and it is in the same building as Theatre Calgary, so maybe a good alternative.

Beauty and the Beast (Storybook Theatre)

Is Beauty and the Beast a holiday play, or do I just think it is because I got a ton of Beauty and the Beast gifts for Christmas in 1992? Maybe it doesn’t matter. Holiday is what is in our hearts. And also the play is on during the holidays! In fact, the play is running all the way from Nov 22 to Jan 5. Perhaps it is the most Holiday play, as it covers all the holidays?

(Note: Storybook Theatre has also brought back Natascha Girgis’ outstanding show from last year – One Christmas Carol. It is being performed on Sunday and Monday evenings between Dec 8-23… aka the days that Beauty and the Beast is dark. And also Charlotte’s Web. Because Natascha has no chill and is also in that.)

Friends. There is so much amazing theatre in Calgary, especially during this holiday season. Don’t let it pass you by. The weather is nice right now and you’ll have memories to talk about for years afterwards. Such is the joy of live theatre!

ShakesPeers Holiday Bash

December 8, 2024 No Comments

One of the hallmarks of this blog, ever since it started, was “fun things I do in Calgary”. And slowly – sloooooowly – I’ve moved into creating fun things to do in Calgary for other people. I mean, I’ve produced theatre on and off for over a decade, so that counts as something. But over this past year, Full Circle Theatre has started putting on community building Shakespeare-inspired salon events. And that is definitely creating “fun things to do in Calgary”. Tonight was our most recent event, the ShakesPeers Holiday Bash and it was everything I needed it to be.

First, What is ShakesPeers?

Great question! It is, obviously, a pun on Shakespeare. And the fact that we get together with our peers. And shake, I guess?

Basically, we wanted to make something that would bring theatre people together, but wouldn’t be a class or a performance. It would just be an opportunity to nerd out with other cool theatre people and potentially practice our craft a little bit in a low stakes environment. Our first event was a Roles in a Bowl reading of Much Ado (which was exactly what it sounds like) and our second was a Scene Exploration (where we just selected scenes, messed around, and talked about them). We’ve met new people and gotten comfortable with Shakespeare. And more importantly, for my sanity, they’ve been really easy to plan.

What About the ShakesPeers Holiday Bash?

Also, kind of what it sounds like! It was our holiday party for people we wouldn’t normally be able to attend a holiday party with! We rented a basement events room at The Joyce on 4th, and they were fantastic. Very attentive, gave us access to their full menu, and decorated the room in a cute festive manner… What more can you ask for in a private room!?

Kevin put together six rounds of Shakespeare inspired trivia and I learned I don’t know nearly as much about Shakespeare as I think I do. We did a classic White Elephant gift exchange. I brought some local bitters and fancy tonic water, and walked with a nice bottle of wine. (There were also gifts that weren’t beverages, but beverages is my brand, as we know.)

We did Burt Reynolds shots, which I certainly have not done since I worked at Earls.

Now, I will say that the one challenge with putting on events is that you never quite get to socialize as much as you want to. There are always small things that you need to attend to that pull you away from being fully involved with the event. But it’s so worth it when you know you’re creating something great for other people.

And, hey, maybe it’s just a good excuse to get back together with my friends again and again and again.

So tell me, what holiday party plans do you have on the menu?

Beer Exchange Day 1

December 1, 2024 No Comments

It’s Blogmas! It’s that time of year where I actually write on my blog because, as we all know, I only ever achieve things when I have a structured challenge. I like to create internal pressures that I disguise as external pressures. (Shut up. I’m working on it. In theory.)

I also like Blogmas, though. And this year, maybe this year, will be the year where I parley my Blogmas momentum into actual momentum. This will be the year where my blog becomes something. (At least until I start rehearsals for my next show in February. Wait, was that my outside voice?)

And you know what else I like? Beer Exchange!!! Yes. This is a A Flimsy Plan Blogmas mainstay. Mostly because it means that I only have to come up with twelve post ideas for Blogmas, but also because I love doing activities with friends.

If you’ve read my blog literally ever before, you probably know what the Beer Exchange is all about, but if not, here is a quick run down.

Megan organizes it every year. Sometimes this is very easy and sometimes it is like herding cats. I leave it to you to guess what this year was like.
12 people each buy 12 tall boy cans of a different local beer and then we all take one of each beer. (This is why it can be like herding cats. Megan tries to find out which beer we’re all buying so there are no duplicates and not 12 IPAs.)
Plus the beers are wrapped up, so it’s like an advent calendar! But social! With friends!

So you probably guessed what today’s post is all about – it’s about the first beer from the Beer Exchange! And this year, we actually had a kickoff party! Like for real! No illnesses to get in our way!

And that means we got to enjoy the first beer as a group. Sure, first Tyler and I enjoyed a really good bottle of wine while we were waiting for all of the beers to arrive, but then it was time for five people to drink the same type of beer. And what was that beer? Well, follow me through the cut to find out!

Talking About Writing

Lights Up! poster with session details
(Aug 16, 5pm in the Acadia room)

Play With Us poster with session details
(Aug 18, 2pm in the Acadia room)

I am writing this blog post on the eve of the 2024 incarnation of the When Words Collide writing and reading festival, and there is nothing else I could possibly write about tonight. It is filling about 90% of my mind. Some of what is filling my mind is bubbly anticipation of talking about writing and theatre, but most of it is kind of nonsense. In fact, the thought that is currently at the top of my mind is that I actually didn’t realize that it was called a “festival”, not a “conference”. Was it once called a conference and it changed? Who can say?

It’s probably on the internet somewhere. But that’s not important right now.

Hey Erin, what are you doing at WWC? And how is this relevant to theatre?

I mean, what I’m doing at WWC is going to lots of fun panels and readings to get me inspired to write, competing with other artists and intellectuals in game shows and Quiplash games to entertain the general conference public, staying up way too late with other cool nerds, and generally immersing myself in the world of writing and reading for 72 hours.

Perhaps more importantly, I’m presenting two interactive sessions with blog favourites, Claire and Megan, on the very important topic of writing theatre. We are, in fact, the only scripted theatre related sessions during the weekend. (The Kinkonauts are doing a very cool improv thing, but improv is a whole other art form, thank you very much.) We’re doing one classic presentation on writing/putting on your own play, which we’ve been presenting in one form or another since 2018, and a newer hands-on workshop where we introduce people to our collaborative creation process. As discussed in last week’s Theatre Thursday, collaborative creation is FCT’s bread and butter, you know we’re going to bring that to a writing event.

This year, When Words Collide has quite a few active sessions on writing, which is great. There’s even a drop-down space where attendees can write and decompress whenever inspiration strikes!

I’m also doing a few other little things. Like I said, I’m competing in a trivia based game show that Kevin has created/hosted. I won last year, so I need to defend my fancy pumpkin trophy. Also, I need to be a woman forcing my way into nerd spaces in a bubbly and cute way. I’m also participating in Kevin’s Quiplash session for *entertainment*. And, finally, I’m speaking on a panel for fanfiction writers, which I am psyched about. Writing Riverona made me legally qualified to speak on it, but my years of writing Newsies, Rent, and The Babysitter’s Club fanfiction made me spiritually qualified. (Don’t go looking for it.)

Why Do You Love When Words Collide? (Or Specifically Talking About Writing, I Guess?)

I feel like this maybe might have come through above? But there is something that is just so inspiring and comforting about being around people who like the things you like. I remember the first year I “attended” WWC (aka, I visited Kevin at the hotel and crashed a few parties), I was so surprised that it was a place for me. But it truly was. It’s kind of a place for everyone I’ve ever invited there.

I’ve also never walked away from WWC and not been inspired to immediately get to work on a project. A ton of great work has come as a result of being in this great place.

I want to go to this place!

Of course you do. A few logistics:

WWC is a Calgary based festival, which takes place in the Delta South in the August of each year.
Conference passes are very affordable. (Like, less than $100.)
That said, you usually need to buy your pass early. Like, before the release of all the session details. You go to this festival for the vibes, not necessarily for the speaker line-up. But the cool thing about art is that it’s subjective, so you will absolutely learn things no matter who ends up presenting. Plus, the conversations with your fellow attendees! That also gives you a lot.
Presenters really run the gamut. Writers, editors, agents, book designers, book sellers, theatre artists, industry specialists. Widely published commercial writers, wildly published indie writers, poets, people who have just gotten their first book deal, former English teachers. However, session blurbs and presenter bios are available when you arrive, so you can make the choice that is right for you.
There is a Merchant’s Room where many of the presenters have their books and even some other merch on sale. It’s nice to support your favs.
Interact with people. Socialize. Take advantage of the experiences outside of the formal learning opportunities, that’s where this adult educator feels like the learning really takes place.

Now, I’ll be completely honest. This year’s When Words Collide is 100% sold out. However, I’ll be sharing a lot of the experience over my stories on Instagram and I’ll post a recap here. If you’re a writer or just writer-curious, I hope I’ll be able to convince you to join next year! Let’s get to work talking about writing, my friends!

A New Season (Theatre Thursday)

August 8, 2024 No Comments

Man, what a full year it’s been so far, my friends. So much Riverona and building my relationship with people and growing my career and reading not nearly enough books. And now suddenly it’s been 6 months since I wrote here and I have the most intense imposter syndrome known to man. I wrote that really fun post about my 50 favorite things and then bounced, you know? I feel like I don’t even know where to start and that’s part of why I haven’t been writing at all. The less you start, the less you start, you know?

So I’m just starting!

What I thought might be cool on Theatre Thursdays this year is to write about all the different things that I’m doing in theatre, week-by-week. Of course, I’ll still write about shows that I see when the mood strikes me, but a documentation of the actual things I’m doing in close to real time feels good to me.

Why the Change?

Good question, self! (And by extension, you, gentle reader. I’m sure.) A few reasons for the change.

Recently I’ve been looking for blogs and vlogs and podcasts about the day-to-day reality of making theatre and art. I’ve stumbled backwards into a few blogs that have documented the process of creating a production and I think that’s really cool. I love hearing about other artists’ thought and decision-making processes. So I should create the thing I want to find in the world!
Full Circle Theatre is actually producing a full season for 2024-2025. (Well, a full season for us. We’re a little indie company.) That means that I’ll have a lot of organic inspiration for things to write about, rather than just trying to pull post ideas out of the ether.
I always enjoy blogging more when I’m a little bit more personal while I write. A little bit more real, as it were. Not a diary or anything like that, I’ll still be professional, but I like to throw myself in there.

So all in all, this seems like a solid plan to navigate through the Sunday scaries when it comes back to writing. Maybe a way to make my blog a bit more of a priority, perhaps?

Excellent sweeping declaration. Now what are you going to write about first?

Ha! Did you really think I wouldn’t have a plan coming back into this? I feed on plans, my friend. This blog is called A Flimsy Plan, after all. (I just don’t always follow through on them. Or they’re flimsy. Don’t worry about it.) I even revealed what I was going to write about up above…

Full Circle Theatre has announced our new season!

Like, we literally dropped the reel on Instagram yesterday. This is hot news!

Actually, we did give a sneak peek announcement of the upcoming season during our first week of Riverona and I’ve not been good at keeping it quiet, so some people knew, but still. It was a big moment! The reel is performing pretty well, which is all you can really ask for, as we try to grow our audience on social media, and people seem excited about the season. Which, for those of you who haven’t seen it, it is:

May-Apr 2025: Porcelain Dolls (a FCT classic, first developed in 2016-17, which we will be rewriting for this year)

Jun 2025: Much Ado About Nothing (a Shakespeare classic, one of his most popular)

Why did you pick these shows for your first new season?

Great question!

Like everything FCT does, we decided by committee. Claire and I always make the final decisions, but we take in a lot of input from our collaborators, current cast members, audience, board, and friends. Our philosophy is that one of the reasons we tell stories is to entertain, so we should consider telling stories that people want to hear.

Our mandate has always been to do brand-new works (aka shows created under the FCT umbrella) paired with classical works (aka public domain, foundational plays). When we came back after Riverona, we had no interest in changing that. But we had a few logistical things to consider.

We are burnt out after Riverona. We needed to take the summer to relax, have fun, and pursue other passions. So it likely wasn’t practical to create a new play completely from scratch in the second half of 2024. Our brains needed some time to reset.
One of our top shows that we wanted to do was Twelfth Night. We actually have the perfect Sebastian/Viola twin actors in our sphere. But in April, The Shakespeare Company announced that they would be doing Twelfth Night this fall, and to do the same show as a professional company in the same season is just inviting comparisons. So if we could avoid doing that, we would. Back to the drawing board!

There was very little drawing on the board.

Porcelain Dolls was our biggest hit to date the year that we originally produced it and it still has a lot of components that still work. (Home tacos, anyone?) It counts as a FCT original creation and, most importantly, it would give our core team a bit of a break after two years of writing without breaks. In the future, we plan to write a new work in the fall of each season, but not this year.

Much Ado was another show on our short list and is a Shakespearean banger. It’s like bringing Bugles to a party – everyone is going to want to be your friend. Since we are still newly re-emerged, still rebuilding our audience and performer base, we wanted to do a show that will bring people in. If you want to attract a good director, designer, actors, and audience, you do a show they love. I mean, you have to pair it with a good production, buuuut… Local theatre company, Untold Stories, has figured this formula out all too well and has truly exploded onto the scene over the past three seasons. (They also mastered the art of co-pros early on, which we haven’t yet, but that’s a conversation for a different day.)

Anyway. That’s our new season and how we announced it and why we picked it.

And I wrote a post. What a good day.

Erin’s Favourite Things

December 27, 2023 No Comments

Okay. Come with me on this very self-indulgent blog post. It is the week between Christmas and New Years, I am living in my feels because this is the time where I get to. I am watching a competitive makeup show and enjoying a glass of wine from my new “Riverona High School Fencing Champion – By Default” mug. (When do you ever get to have merch that is about you? When!? This is the coolest.) And I am also about to give you the ultimate cheatsheet for becoming my friend and/or boyfriend. Because this is a list of Erin’s favourite things.

What? Why?

Because earlier this year, one of my favourite podcasts Hey Riddle Riddle did “Favourite Things” Brackets on their Patreon. They have a host named Erin Keif. It started with Erin’s Favourite Things (in bracket form) and then it expanded to the other two hosts and their editor and one of their most popular guest hosts and… anyway. It was delightful.

I’m not going to do a bracket, because how could that even work with just me? And also, maybe I’m hopping on the “Erin’s Favourite Things” SEO, but who cares? It’s my name too!

Also, I’m doing 50 things because that is what Erin Keif did. Please enjoy some wholesome and fun stuff from two women who would like to do the splits. And if you wanna bracket it… who am I to stop you?

Erin’s Favourite Things

Diet Coke on Fridays
The part of The Hold Steady’s “Sixers” where this riff happens (You should listen to the entire song, but this moment is the reason why this was my #2 most listened to song this year)
Uggs. I wore them when they were trendy, I wore them when they were cheugy, I wear them now.
When it’s raining exactly the right direction outside so you can open the window and read or sleep without any of your things getting wet
When the entire Riverona cast breaks because Joel David Taylor slapped Principal Prince and came up with an unreasonably funny ad lib
When your niece or nephew demands that you flip them upside down “again and again and again and again”
When you find a new recipe that is both delicious and good for leftovers so you can meal prep on repeat
That moment where your podcast is the exact same length as your walk
Pantyhose/tights that are exactly the right size and still compressive, despite the size chart making zero sense
How hard this part of Taylor Swift’s “Now That We Don’t Talk” sticks in my soul (especially “with important men who think important thoughts”)
Rose gold anything
The last 20 minutes of a Paint Nite where finally you start to feel like you’re a good visual artist
Megan Baldrey’s tinted lip balm from Wild Briar Body Care
When you’re in a fitness class and the instructor perfectly times the beginning of jacks with the beat drop
Cambozola
Having an amazing theatre project that other people are equally excited about
Friends’ Trips with Claire
Rom-com novels about sports boys that have a secret soft side
Those rare moments when you finally overcome your time blindness and arrive at something early enough that you can circle for parking or read your book without being stressed about time
When Kevin Weir introduces me to a book series that scratches an itch I didn’t know I had
Gerard Bertrand’s Cote Des Roses rose. And not just because of the bottle.
Transforming any Starbucks seasonal drink into an americano misto and then going for a walk with said hot beverage
Seeing plays with my mom and then debriefing them afterwards
When I’m out in public and see someone who I know but I think they won’t recognize me, but then they say hi to me!
Vertigo Theatre opening nights
Clean sheets and freshly moisturized legs
The moment that Hans Wackershauser takes a joke too far that it becomes a joke again
Para-social relationships with people I actually know on Instagram but don’t get to see nearly often enough (you know who you are!)
When an actor walks into an audition and they are absolutely the right person for a role (Sarah, Mike, this is about you!)
Getting needlessly fancy cocktails with Claire and Kendra
When you’re thinking about someone you haven’t spoken to in a hot minute and they text you at that exact same moment
Aerin Amber Musk perfume
Ice cream with cookie dough or brownies in it
When people do really good TransAtlantic accents or vague 1940s movie impressions
Every single Seanan McGuire book, especially when you forget you had a pre-order and it’s delivered to your ereader
Cooking mushrooms and onions in butter (or, honestly, anything in butter)
When you arrive at an airport 45 minutes before you needed to and you just get to hang out, have a bevvie and not stress
The Bath & Bodyworks Champagne Toast scent
Sibling cooking nights (yes, Kevin Weir, Darci and Bryan, I’m talking about you)
Titanic (the James Cameron movie. All of it.)
When you can hang out with your partner’s family or friends without them and it’s cool
Similarly, when you are equally friends with both parts of a couple (Mike and Meg, Hans and Megan, I’m looking at you!)
When you let your hair air-dry and it does exactly what you want it to do
Backyard fire pits
Having a solo beverage and a book while in a bar or cafe
Surprisingly comfortable 5-inch heels that are also cute
Waking up early but also naturally
When you go to a farmers/craft/holiday market and all the vendors are friendly but not too friendly, so it’s not awkward
Hotels with heated towel drying racks
Discovering someone else you just met or don’t speak with often is also super into that very niche thing you love and you both talk about it excitedly together.

That’s it. I’ve been looking forward to this post literally all December and, even if it doesn’t help me garner new friends and/or boyfriends, it helped me realize what I care about. I’ve always been relentlessly positive but it feels so good to deliberately articulate things that make me this way on the blog.

So! What are some of your favourite things!? And do you think we can make this a bracket? Many of the things are universal, so I think we could!

Beer Exchange Day 12

December 24, 2023 No Comments

OMG. There are no words for how excited I am about the beer for Day 12. I saved it until as close to Christmas as possible, but popped it open last night to record – mostly because I was working at Moveology this morning and knew things would be crazy today. I was so delighted that I had Kevin to share the “opening the wrapping” moment with, even if I had to explain my delight to him.

So here’s Beer 12, sitting in my recording spot… and let’s go through the cut.
