2 Planet of the Arts -Vol 4-No.4-1989. Td be walking around the Island, some- thing to do when I’m bored, and Pd bump into the Editor. After the small talk, the same ques- tion would always come up: “Are you gonna write a piece for ‘Where Are They Now’, or what?”. “Yeah, sure. Pll have it for you in a couple of days.” I’d go home, roll a sheet of white bond into the typewriter, and start crying. But, finally, I can write something and not feel em- barrassed. Thinking about it, it seems to take a lot of grads a year before they get things rolling. In hindsight, I should’ve just left the country for six or eight months and then tried to get a career going. For the edification and inspiration of future year’s graduates, here’s an abridged* chronological listing of “My Life After Grad”. May,1988: Graduate from ECCAD with average average. Finish UBC screenwriting course with honors. (Is this some sort of mes- sage?) June, 1988: Get rejection slip from Ro- gers Cable for script (too many locations. Three to be exact.). Go to Los Angeles with rejected script. Show it to agent who finds it “charm- ing” and agrees to represent me when I have Oraf. He says: The Honeymoon is over.

Everything else is true, only the names have been changed to protect the innocent.@ Sidney Morozoff: Achiever; Promoter; the paparazzi and glitterazzi umbilical cord to glamour; hype genius; promo party genie; the spotlight moves from his dazzling performers roster - The Del Rubio Triplets, The Big Wigs, Joey Arias, John Sex and The Bodacious Ta Ta’s - to himself. But it’s his name, Sidney Morozoff, which is synonymous with the word “party”. These days as you are wading through the bills and letters addressed to Occupant, the menus of local takeout Chinese restaurants, and flyers from shopping mall plazas, you may be one of the chosen ones to be on his mailing list, invited to parties ranging from a Back- yard Barbeque Ho-Down with the Big Wigs, to Prince’s after-concert party at Graceland. It’s never just another party ! Sidney con- ceives and executes the sometimes outrageous invitations. “A good announcement helps guar- antee a good party. If you have an invite that stands out, people remember the event. You’ve created an appetite, even a lust, all before they’ve gotten through the door.” His invita- tions have been charming, alarming and gen- erally arousing club-going clientele for the past year. The incredible success at Graceland with Tuesday’s Bad Boy’s Night Out and recently Thursday’s Acid House are only to be topped by a new Monday Cabaret Night to be launched at the end of February. Sidney Morozoff is a 1975 graduate from the Vancouver School of Art.
