In my last log I mentioned that I've been swamped in work.
I've been asked to take part in the annual DJ Festival (the outdoor "rave" that usually takes place in Republic Square with dj's from Armenia as well as from abroad, spinning techno, trance, house, drum 'n bass, etc.). Seeing that I am from Canada, I've been asked to represent Canada. The event will take place this coming Saturday. In the meantime, I'm mastering Arthur Ispirian's new album (a technical process that doesn't really exist in Armenia). So I've been juggling between these gigs, still looking for a home, entertaining friends from out of town, and trying to enjoy the nice weather.
By the way, not to scare any tourists away, but construction season is back! Republic Square is pretty much a disaster; the Opera House is still under construction; the sidewalks, museums and theatres are still being renovated. Nevertheless, there's so much more to see in this beautiful country.
Looks like the temperature for the rest of the week will be in the late 20's. I love the fact that Yerevan's humidity is much lower than Toronto's, where temperatures above 25 degrees mean you can hardly breathe and your clothes become glued to your body.
Speaking of degrees, I saw a great play the other night called 44 degrees. The venue was flooded in tears. It was another great piece focusing on Armenia, Armenians, and the emigration and repatriation issues.
Well, that's about it for now. For anyone who's interested in checking out the DJ Festival (which, by the way, is free), I will post some more details before the weekend.
