Lobster Jazz –Aw fuck it

January 12th, 2010

Youtube kiddies were oh so quick to shit on this video so I just took it down. Seems like I can’t have fun anymore. No biggie. The video wasn’t a Pedar va Pesar episode just some footage from long ago I decided to play around with because I was bored and couldn’t sleep. I’m actually glad my viewers have set a standard for me and pressure me to do better.

However, it’s not always easy to motivate your ailing 65 year old father to act on camera for no pay. Hell, I’m sure it would be a task for most of you to even spend time with your parents let alone do the crazy shit we do. Keep in mind: we’re real people and our relationship isn’t always peachy.

Anyways, Pedar va Pesar will return once Baba and I are ready. We appreciate all the support and well wishers which is one of the reasons we love doing this.

Thank you for watching.

People are bugging me on how much they miss Baba due to the Pedar va Pesar hiatus so I thought to edit up some unused footage. Enjoy!

Baba and I are stuck in Port Hope in the middle of a snow storm. We manage to trudge to the local library to suck up as much internet as we can. We just begun production on episodes of Pedar va Pesar as we try to tough out the final stretch of this great Canadian winter.
