The conversation touches on everything from events and music to conspiracy theories and bizarre life events. What is The Indie YYC? Noticing David’s T-shirt, Matt asks what The Indie YYC is. David shares that The Indie YYC community was created by him and Frederick Tamagi. Pre-pandemic, the community focused on three unique live events, including The New Beat (a fusion of poetry and live music), Storytellers (bringing together songwriters, poets, and authors), and Avant Guardians (featuring avant-garde and alternative musicians). During the pandemic, as well as after, the community focused on growing mostly through user submitted content on Facebook. Clean Slate On February 16, 2024, David hosted a live music and multimedia event in Victoria, BC called Clean Slate. Matt asks how the event came about, and David shares that the idea came to him while reading Frederick Dodson’s Parallel Universes of Self. David initially envisioned an event where he could bring people together to celebrate the launch of new music, a new book, new comedic video content, and more. The initial phases of planning went swimmingly. Then, things started going awry in September 2023. David could not secure the featured artist he’d hoped to, and despite booking local artists for the event, it failed to gain local support. Most people in attendance were there because David had invited them. Matt asks David whether he sees the experience as a stepping stone or opportunity to try his hand at another event. David shares that while he sees the possibility of hosting low-cost, low-key events in the immediate future, he can’t see himself attempting something like Clean Slate again unless there’s a rabid demand for it. What David’s Guitar Teacher Told Him There is something David’s guitar teacher told him that has stuck with him until present day. Matt asks David what that was. David shares that his guitar teacher told him that he’d surpassed him within one lesson. I’ve been playing guitar for 13 years. Imagine what you’ll be able to accomplish in 13 years. Matt asks David what kind of impact that statement had on him. David shares that it gave him the motivation he needed to keep practicing. From his teacher, he also learned not to dismiss people who offer him praise. If people say good things about you,
