Dan Hendricken Q&A with
Horoscopes ARIES This is a great day for all relationships, travel and the sharing of ideas. It is inspiring to explore the limits of the imagination, and combine dreams with reality.
PISCES Some members of your family have ideas which confuse you. It is good to tune in to what people you love are feeling, and to have an open exchange of thoughts.
AQUARIUS Your mind is fixed on far horizons today and meeting people and exchanging creative ideas can be great fun. Don’t take everything you hear too seriously.
CAPRICORN
LIBRA The moon in your sign connects harmoniously with a bunch of other planets, which makes this a great day for travel, cultural meetings and intellectual stimulation.
VIRGO You know exactly how to navigate between the world of reason and the world of imagination, and this facility can mean that you find extra income sources.

CANCER It is nice to build a cocoon for yourself, where you can just allow your dreams and ideas to flow. Family members make it all go soft and smooth today.
Your dreams flow freely today, and anything can happen in the world of your imagination. You can choose to dream of the good things, rather than imagining the bad.
I
Right now you are struggling to find a way of selling a dream or vision. It’s a stimulating day when contact with creative people really inspires you.
TAURUS This is a wonderful day for talking with colleagues, especially about money-making ideas. If you can somehow integrate a dream into your plans, things can work out well.

an Black hosts the Goofy Moose comedy show every Sunday at the Massey Sullivan Studio in the Toothy Moose. Andrew Vaughn hosts MegaComedy Mondays at Gus's Pub every week, and is a regular at Yuk Yuks.
Contact with thinkers and dreamers is incredibly inspiring today. It is a great time for a trip with friends, or just to be part of a discussion group.
You can rely on colleagues to make the right connections today, and communication is the key factor for success. Dreams need to be examined and put to good use.
This is a super outgoing day when it can feel you are directing traffic at a busy roundabout. Friends are a pleasure to be with, and ideas flow thick and fast.

Comedy every
Sunday Night at
The Toothy Moose 1661 Argyle St. Sponsored by
watching the worst comics audition and I thought I can be as bad as them and still get on TV. I always loved comedy, I grew up listening to Eddie Murphy and Andrew Dice Clay from 5 years old.
IB: wow, listening to Eddie and Dice at 5 yrs old? That's some impressive parenting! any other comedians you can recommend for our 5 year old readers? AV: Jim Norton. One is never too young to learn about the joys of transgender prostitutes. IB: Amen to that. What has been the highlight of your career so far? AV: Having veteran Canadian comedian Mike MacDonald watch us do the Homegrown Show at Halifax Comedy Festival in 2014 and then give us advice on our jokes. A real legend offering you advice is priceless. IB: Yet you rarely seek mine... What are your goals? What do you hope to accomplish? AV: Sleep with Taylor Swift. IB: Now that would be some physical comedy! Any non-pornographic goals? AV: I hope i get to go to Just for Laughs in Montreal. Maybe to perform, that'd be nice, but really I just need to get out of Nova Scotia once in 10 years... IB: Nacho Cheese or Zesty Cheese? AV: Nacho. Zesty can't be trusted. If Zesty was a dude, he'd slip roofies into girl's drinks. You can find Ian on the internet when he should be doing other things. Visit andrewvaughncomedy.ca
