I’ve known Teri for a long time.

In the late 80’s I was dating EB, an actress, and producing an arts reportage show for CBC. Teri welcomed me into the Vancouver theatre community with open arms.

At the time, she was the artistic director of Tamahnous Theatre, and her pre-Jessie Awards parties were as legendary as her productions.  (Until she sent me her bio, I didn’t even know there was a Jessie Richardson Award for Innovation in Theatre.  There is, and Teri’s won it.)

She was doing location based, interdisciplinary theatre in the downtown eastside before anyone ever imagined that the old Woodwards building would become an arts and culture hub.

Later, when EB and I got married at The Cultch, Teri was the unofficial official photographer, and put together a beautiful album we still treasure.

About 5 years ago she decided to follow another life interest, and went to Emily Carr University to study film and video.

After graduating, she produced and directed a number of films and interactive video installations and now works for the National Film Board.

One the few things Teri didn’t do was write a blog.

Then, last June, she launched Sugarlove Girl.

I’m a big fan, so decided it was time to pick her brain about why, after all this time, she decided to start blogging.
