Hello loyal readers, lurkers and anyone who has stumbled across my blog, welcome! Mother Nature has finally warmed things up a bit so I figure its time to write something. I apologize for no pic on the blog lately. I have not snapped anything that is worth showing or that I can show...yet. I'll get some pics up soon.
Its corporate Christmas season so many of my shows are all private ones and I can't extend any invites to you. I do have one for the public coming up shortly and will post it accordingly.
So what to write about? Hmmm
Alberta has a new leader after many many years of the longest running premier in Canada's history. Ed Stelmach, a farmer and former cabinet minister won in an upset victory yesterday to take the reins of power from good ol' Ralph Klein as Conservative party leader and premier of the best damn province in Canada. I did not follow the race that closely but the 2 main contenders, Dinning and Morton seemed a bit bent on mud slinging and extremism more than issues important to the peope and it cost them.
Stelmach, known as a peacemaker and consensus-builder, focused on more on what Albertans wanted and slid into power. Time will tell if the members of the Conservative party gave us the right person.
I think it will be nice to have the down to earth, common sense of a farmer, rather than a lawyer-turned-politician, or worse, a career politician that is so our options to choose from. I'll miss the crazy antics of ol' Ralph but his time was up. He served us well. You have some big shoes to fill Ed, do us proud!
This past week has been a flurry of activity off stage. Long distance phone meetings, media design, web site building, and much, much, more have taken up hours and hours of time but I think the payoff will be grand. I like the way 2007 is looking. "Daryl, what the hell are you talking about?" some may be asking. Fret not my fans, friends, plus the puppets and little shaved Ewok who read this blog. In due time, in due time.
Myspace has proven to be a great aid in business as of late. I've met some really interesting people on there and have made some great alliances in the comedy world. If you are on myspace feel free to add me and say hi.

It's a cool site which can also be very addicting. It is full of really cool folks but there are also the usual lot of spammers, fakes and phonies on there. After awhile it gets easier to weed out the knobs.
I think I'll head out and brave the crowds and do a bit of shopping. It seems like one of those days to do it.
Later
Daryl Makk
