Diagonal perspective of the stage with a mic stand, capturing a corner of the café as well as some of the audience members. The stage, slightly below street level, is set against a full-wall window looking out onto the St. Laurent Blvd. traffic—with both pedestrians and vehicles often passing by. The windows from across the street are sometimes visible, including an outdoor sign with the word “JETHRO.”  On the windows of Bistro 4, the word “said” (from “Enough Said”) becomes visible when the camera zooms out, as well as decals with words from the menu, such as “DEJEUNER,” “CAPPUCCINO,” and “TISANE.”\n\nLee Gotham\n00:00:01\n[Ambient sounds. Mic feedback noise, with Lee Gotham humming to the same pitch.] Good evening one and all and thanks once again for coming out to another evening of Enough Said. Just a short (?) of things underway this evening, a couple of items of interest, in the very near future. I have the grand pleasure of presenting this (one?): Adeena Karasick, this next Monday. Adeena is a performance poet, language-centred writing, tender concerns front and centre, and is a wonderful act; she has toured all over the world, read with everyone from Ginsberg and Creeley to Nichols (?). It’s a wonderful pleasure to present her. The week after, this is another pet project of mine, that I’ve only plugged very discreetly up until now, but it’s called Pawn, and it’s a cultural magazine that it’s growing out of a pretty eclectic literary bag, that we managed to get together as a bunch of undergrad students at Concordia two or three years back. Still literature as an undeniable emphasis, and a real strong lineup, and I’m not gonna talk anything about any of the people (involved?). We will be launching this magazine, and some of those people involved will be here, not next Monday but the Monday after. So, that’s a couple of items in the near future. In the nearest future, I have the equal pleasure in presenting this evening two very interesting acts: the first of them the Phineas Flower Trio. | Video Description: Medium long shot of the stage then zoom into different degrees of closeup as the camera adjusts frame and focus. Lee Gotham walks to the mic. Gotham wears a long button-down shirt atop a t-shirt and a taqiyah-style skullcap. Gotham signals to someone out of the frame (presumably the sound technician), makes announcements, and introduces the performers of the event.\n\nPhineas Flower Trio\n00:01:58\n[Voice interrupts Gotham from out of the frame] Just get on with it, man! | Video Description: Zoom out from Lee Gotham and pan left to the Phineas Flower Trio.\n\nLee Gotham\n00:02:00\nI believe want you to keep your distance during their act, they want lots of space, so just stay where you are [laughter]. A little later in the evening we will have Steve Godin. Steve Godin is going to do something that will set everyone’s teeth on edge [laughter]. It’s not true; Steve is a wonderfully amenable type and he’s gonna be here with us before very long. And in the meantime please welcome Phineas Flower. Stay where you are. [Applause].  | Medium long shot panning between Lee Gotham, standing, and the Phineas Flower Trio, sitting, one of them smoking.

[Laughter] | Video Description: Medium long shot of Lee Gotham leaving the stage and the Phineas Flower Trio walking to their instruments and places.

The guitar player wears a grey Henley shirt with sleeves rolled-up to the elbow, short hair, a thin moustache, and a goatee. The bass player wears a black and red coat atop a patterned button-down shirt, long hair, a Van-Dyke beard, and sunglasses.\n\nPhineas Flower Trio and Unknown_Audience_Member\n00:04:15\n[Unknown_Audience_Member] Let’s go, eh?! [Two band members, aggressively] Back off! What the fuck was that? Why don’t you shut up?! | Video Description: Medium long shot of the stage, panning left and right, showing the Phineas Flower Trio.\n\nPhineas Flower Trio\n00:05:32\n[A vocalist joins the Phineas Flower Trio to plays their first song, a spoken-word piece against a jazzy groove.

The vocalist wears short curly hair, sunglasses, and a grey sweater over a flowery dress. He is smoking and carrying a beverage.

(Cola?) go down his throat.”] | Video Description: Medium long shot of the Phineas Flower Trio, panning left and right among the band members.

At the end of the piece, the vocalist drinks from a glass.\n\nPhineas Flower Trio and Unknown_Audience_Member\n00:16:10\n[The vocalist, after thanking the audience] That sucked. [Unknown_Audience_Member] What kind of noise is this? [The vocalist] Bad noise! [The drummer] Wait, man, I don’t like this dialogue going on. Can’t anyone straighten this young lady out? [Vocalist] Let’s play the next song. [Guitar player] Ok, who’s the fucking pinhead who said that? [Vocalist] Yo (Zanny?), what’s the next song? [As the bass player starts to answer, the guitarist, aggressively] Pinheads, raise your fucking head. [Drummer] Get ’em, boy! [Vocalist] Alright, let’s play the song. [Guitarist] You’re lucky I’m in a good mood. | Video Description: Medium shot, panning left and right, of the band members interacting with each other and with the audience.\n\nPhineas Flower Trio\n00:16:41\n[The Phineas Flower Trio performs a piece, opening with a looping drum-bass riff. The vocalist burps into the mic before singing the first lines: “(You’re usually?) flapping its wings, a bee flies across the field (and fell?) searching frantically for food, gasping for breath.” Mid-performance, the drummer screams in the background. At the end of the piece, with the instrumentalists still playing, he vocalist repeats, “Thank you very much, we are the Phineas Flower Trio.”] | Video Description: Medium shot of the band, with the vocalist unbuttoning and taking off his sweater, so now his flower dress is entirely visible. Then zoom into a closeup of the vocalist as he starts singing while holding a cigarette, sometimes smoking between lines. Mid-performance, the camera zooms out and alternates between a medium shot and medium long shot.\n \nPhineas Flower Trio and Unknown_Audience_Member\n00:20:04\n[The vocalist, after thanking the audience] Next. [Unknown_Audience_Member] Don’t say thank you, we’re a serious fucking audience. [Vocalist] Alright! [Guitar player] You’re a really fucking funny guy, man. [Vocalist] Let’s go, next song!

[Guitarist] Better than what? | Video Description: Closeup of the vocalist interacting with the band members and the audience.\n\nPhineas Flower Trio\n00:20:53\nThe Phineas Flower Trio performs a piece, opening with a looping guitar riff, then a sudden pause, when the vocalist says “Hey.”] | Video Description: Zoom into an extreme closeup of the vocalist, smoking, then performing.\n\nPhineas Flower Trio\n00:22:31\n[The band suddenly stops playing, and the drummer says to the guitarist, both out of the frame] Hey man, it’s you.

[Laughter, while the argument continues, until the vocalist commands] Play! | Video Description: Closeup of the vocalist, drinking from a glass and trying to resume the performance while the band argues.\n\nPhineas Flower Trio\n00:22:54\n[The band resumes playing the same piece]. | Video Description: Closeup of the vocalist, often sipping from a glass, while the band performs. Towards the end of the piece, the camera zooms out to a medium long shot, so the drummer and guitarist also become visible.\n\nPhineas Flower Trio\n00:23:44\n[Bassist states the name of the next song] Next song is “Disgusting family.” [Vocalist announces] Alright, this is our last piece and then you will be rid of us once and for all. You can clap for that if you want! [Laughter] [Drummer] Disgusting family? [Vocalist] Wow, I don’t know, if Zanny’s standing up for this one, gotta mean something. [Laughter, shouts] [Vocalist] Zanny’s a studio musician, does a lot of uppers and stuff. | Video Description: Medium long shot, panning left and right between the bassist and vocalist, then zoom unto an extreme closeup of the vocalist. The bassist stands up and the camera pans left to show him. As the band starts performing, the camera pans back right and zooms into a medium closeup of the vocalist.\n\nPhineas Flower Trio\n00:27:15\n[Vocalist interrupting the song to address the guitarist] Yo Kevin? Kevin? What the fuck is this? It’s just such fucking shitty noise (which you just made with that?) guitar, man. How much talent does it take to stick a fucking patch cord into a guitar anyway? [Many talk at once and the argument continues until the Vocalist suggests] Or just keep doing what you’re doing. Alright, here we go, it’s your noise! | Video Description: Closeup of the vocalist interrupting the piece to complain about the guitarist. The camera pans to the drummer and the guitarist then back to the vocalist.\n\nPhineas Flower Trio\n00:27:56\n[The band resumes playing the same piece, and the vocalists speaks the last lines while the band is still playing]. Thanks for nothing. We’re the Phineas Flower Bar Mitzvah Quartet. We play weddings, funerals, bar mitzvahs, birthday parties. T-shirts and CDs are available at the door. [Applause] | Video Description: Closeup and extreme closeup of the vocalist, while the band performs.

I’m just going to do a couple more plugs in a hurry here: Enough Said is going to co-present a couple things outside of the present venue; the nearest is on the 25th of March; it will take place at Building Dance, I believe it's 55 Pine Avenue East, just east of the Main, Pine Avenue; Wired on Words are presenting a new cassette of Ian Stephens’s spoken-word readings; in the month thereafter, the 24th of April, Woodstock, the new and improved Clifford Duffy offering, “Nietzsche’s Daughter is Deceased and The Invention of God” will be presented on that evening. In any case, give me two quick minutes to clear away this conventional microphone setup, and Steve Godin will let you know all about what you’ve been wondering about perhaps from the beginning of the evening, and I hope everyone will enjoy it thoroughly. | Video Description: Medium long shot as Lee Gotham enters the stage, then zoom into a closeup.

Well, you know, this is like a slim night for open mic, I don’t know. [A voice near the camera—and hence louder than Gotham’s—states, “Ooo, bad (?)”; and Lee seems to react to that with his next sentence.] Quality, not quantity.
