Josh Martinez

Last week my band played a gig in Tacoma, WA with Nova Scotia born and bred hip-hop star Josh Martinez.

Now, this looks like the type of dude you wanna situate yourself with if you're trying to find a freakin' wizard.

We've played a few shows with Martinez over the last couple years, so he was more than willing to answer a couple of questions I had. Here's a rough transcript of a vague memory I may or may not have actually been a part of.

Me: Do you know anything about this coin? (shows coin)

Josh: (looks at Wizard) No... (flips coin around) Nova Scotia, eh? (shows more interest) I don't know anything about this coin, but it's cool. Where'd you get it?

Me: (explains story) I heard from a couple 'Scotians themselves that I should have a poke around Upper Clements Park. Know anything about that?

Josh: Upper Clements Park? (looks confused, then, as if a memory strikes) I do! I haven't been there in ages... Since I was 12 at least.

Me: Notice any Wizards while you were there? Or, perhaps, any really ugly guys with really really good looking girls? You know, something that might have made you think that there was a little potion slanging going on? Walk into anything that didn't really seem to be there? Perhaps as if said thing had a vanishing potion dumped on them?

Josh: What? No.

Me: ...Do you know where I can go to get a good donaire while I'm in Hali?

Josh: Just about anywhere, man.

Don't dig it? Donair even go there.
