Meet Sam Cave. He claims below here that he’s not an artist, but he sure does spend a lot of time involved in artistic activities: music, photography, film...if that’s not an artist, what is?
Sam will be releasing a CD sometime soon. Gadzooks will be following up on that, in the meantime, read about an American turned Canadian.
Where did you grow up? Why?
Washington, DC. My family moved from Bunker Hill in Boston, which was too dangerous. We later left DC for the same reason.
How long have you been in Toronto?
This is year three.
Toronto is…
Beautiful, charming, and truly diverse. I just wish that the streetcar had its own track so it wasn't so dangerous.
What do you do for a living?
I'm an Avid Certified editor, but right now I work in restaurant kitchens for the short money.
What keeps you busy?
My new band Teleblanca, hanging out with my fiance Judy and making short films on my Avid.
What was your favourite summer job?
I drove airport limos in Boston in the months leading up to 9/11. It was great, especially since I love to drive.
Dream job? Why?
I usually dream of not working.
What’s your passion?
Films and comic books. Also Korean food.
If I say jump?
I do my best impression of Eddie Van Halen.
What do you give back to the No Fly Zone?
Could you repeat the question?
What can we do to make Toronto a "world class" city?
It already is. I would like to turn on my television and see programming that doesn't imitate American crap. Hmm...that sounds a little bitter.
Are you an artist?
Absolutely not.
How does art influence your life?
I know that everything around me was the product of an idea.
Hands or feet?
Hands.
Worst public moment?
I went through a whole afternoon without realizing I'd left my slippers on. The worst part is, no one noticed.
Why do you live here?
Because I hate New York.
Two Beatles left: Ringo and Paul. Who wins in a smackdown?
Paul. Under the plucky facade, I think he's a gouger.
Favourite public space?
Who are your favorite artists?
Not sure. My least favorite actor is probably Jude Law.
Mon Chi Chi, My Little Pony, Barbie? discuss.
