	Sue	Well you sure made up for any lost time Kalan. I read all that through and all I can remember is 'a rash' oh oh. But not serious I take it. Sounds like you're busy, but finding time to relax too, and that's a good thing (as Martha would say) Can't wait to hear all the new songs (OK, I lied, I do remember more)   Posted by Sue on Monday, October 27, 2008 - 7:39 PM [Reply to this]

	Debbie	Great to hear from you Kalan! You've been busy! Did you get my facebook message about singing "Mary Did You Know" at our very well attended musical-theatrical "Walk Through Bethlehem"? (Iknow I'm dreaming!) I guess I need to go through the right channels to ask you. I'll try to figure it out! Home sick right now, so maybe now is the time to figure it out! Hope you come to Montreal soon!   Posted by Debbie on Monday, October 27, 2008 - 7:45 PM [Reply to this]

It sounds like you've been busy.... 1)Can't wait to hear the new tunes..remember, I offered to be test ears. 2)Love the new website... so secret agent-ish. 4)Not doing a pumpkin this year(and I miss it already), as we'll be in Los Angeles...any tips of what to do there??? We have 3 days to kill..watch for me on the Ellen show on Nov 4, I'm hoping to get an aisle seat. 11) Went to the doctor too...again... persistant sinusitus. At least I'm not itchy haha..... Where does one sign up for the Kalan Hug Store coupons??? CNN...hmmm I like Oasis nature shows myself. [[Hugs]] Wendy   Posted by Wendy on Monday, October 27, 2008 - 7:45 PM [Reply to this]

	Pitchy/Patricia/Montreal, Qc	Allo Kalan.. This blog is really weird because I asked for some news this morning and few hours later.. I got some. lol Very happy to see you're doing fine and have a LOOOOOTS of fun (oups.. not lying here. lol). At lease you are enjoying your new house, new tv, new blurray dvd and.... Candy Crowley!!! Keep enjoying those things and keep us up to date. It's like being in your Disney Vault with you. About audio blogs.. I prefer video blog. That I'll be able to see your face the one I didn't see since March 2008. Have fun and bisous   Posted by Pitchy/Patricia/Montreal, Qc on Monday, October 27, 2008 - 8:07 PM [Reply to this]

	Lynda	You are totally forgiven.. I do believe that's the most info that we've ever had from you.... So glad you liked the Birthday gifts.. they are given as always with love to you... Candy Crowley eh? Ok..must be that deep and confident voice of hers !! Does that do it for you?? Take care Kalan.. and thanks for keeping in touch.. xo Off to practice lowering my voice an octave or two.. !!!!   Posted by Lynda on Monday, October 27, 2008 - 8:16 PM [Reply to this]

	Jacqueline	Wow Kalan...looks like you had a couple of very normal weeks - just like me..........Well except for the songwriting, and I didn't buy a new TV nor did I stop shaving my legs or launch a new website...lol.. Come to think of it, it wasn't my birthday, I didn't go to a family wedding or the Doctor. CNN isn't my cup of tea and its too early for pumpkin carving :shrugs: I did clean my house though and fixed up my myspace and did spend yesterday on the couch reading a book, so there ya go!!! We're twins.   Posted by Jacqueline on Monday, October 27, 2008 - 8:21 PM [Reply to this]

	love to sing mama Carol Escobar	Ok, Kalan. So you're overdue. How about charging you a few blogs that have to be "paid" within the next few weeks? Wow.. 5 songs in a few weeks. Not bad with everything else, of course. I see #3 that you relaxed a bit. Good for you!! We'll be just painting faces on pumpkins. Makes it easier than carving. Join most of us with the Myspace problem (lol). House cleaning... You must be getting older (ha ha ha). I still don't like 5 o'clock shadow or facial hair, even if it's from you but that's YOUR choice. CNN? Who would've believed!! Rash, aye? From? (not that it's any of my business of course...) And that's it? You're a dangerous 22!!! There's gotta be more. hee hee Audio stuff is great and you can do a video chat with fans maybe once, to try it out. You'ld need someone with you to help you read the comments and questions. Whatever you can come up with, I'm sure we'll be happy with it. Take care. Much love!

	PQu Paulette Quenneville	“Won't happen again...” Now where have I heard that before? “Last Sunday I watched the entire Planet Earth series... without leaving the couch once, an achievement I am quite proud of.” Now where have I heard that before? “Last year I gave my sister a homemade coupon for hugs... She didn't redeem...” Okay, enough. I have even heard that one as well. And ... ... that would be my son who’s 23. Is there a secret course they passed out for you guys? ? Very few can resist his quirky charm. And I absolutely love him to bits. You’ve been warned mister! Kalan, you are priceless !!   Posted by PQu on Monday, October 27, 2008 - 8:27 PM [Reply to this]

	MISS ROBINHOOD Lisa MacKenzie-adams	Listen Kalan I don't really care how offen you blog alright I mean if you have nothing to say you have nothing to say. Oh I have a suggestion for you if you hate carving pumpkins go to wal-mart pre cut pumpkins and they have a light in them so all you have to to do is plug the light in the pumpkin and it's plastic. So hurray for me I don't have to carve a pumpkin. Well have a happy halloween and scare those trick or treaters with your new hair do. and die your hair green. or dress like a ho bo with the lovely facial hair you are growing. anyhoo time to go take care from MISS ROBINHOOD   Posted by MISS ROBINHOOD on Monday, October 27, 2008 - 8:40 PM [Reply to this]

	Margaret	Kalan good to finally hear from you!! Can't wait to hear your new songs and I just visited your new website and I LOVE IT!! Can't wait to see more. Hope to hear from you again soon. Keep busy in the studio creating wonderful songs for us!!   Posted by Margaret on Monday, October 27, 2008 - 8:43 PM [Reply to this]

	Joan'Space Joan Foster	Hey Kalan :)...glad to hear that you're ok and it was just a rash LOL Wow you have been busy..5 new songs?..thats awesome!! I bet its nice not to have to shave each day...but PLEASE, don't come out of the vault with facial hair like this dude!!! http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2252/1922321774_087c4535da.jpg?v=0 Any of these would definately be ok lol :D http://www.javno.com/en/lifestyle/clanak.php?id=161249 The planet earth series is amaaaazing isn't it?..I'm adding extra a's cuz I'm not lying and loved it! Had to check out Candy Crowley..and now think umm okayyy, that is an odd attraction LOL Wish my hubby had waited for the decision on the blu-ray war!!!! We now own a useless piece of $800 crap that could have at least also been a recorder! Anyways..glad to hear from you, the Calgary show was fantastic and you're welcome for the pre-birthday gifts! You should have added a #12 cuz I bet you've also been doing some shopping :) Take care.. *HUGS* Joan   Posted by Joan'Space on Monday, October 27, 2008 - 8:44 PM [Reply to this]

	~* shortyinabox *~	Aww... If they don't want the hug tickets, send 'em suckers off to me! I'd redeem! I do need some hugs, you know... :-( You cleaned your hoooouse and I loooove cleaning my apartment. Ain't that fun?! haha. Gah... 10 hours straight?! Even I would go insane writing for that long... Then again... I kind of do that at school. So let's just say that I feel your pain, haha. But I bet we'll all LOVE the work you do! Caps means "hell yeah" haha. Nice acheivement. You should try watching Jim Carrey's entire cinematography catalogue. Now THAT'S an accomplishment. Not to mention he's just freaking awesome, haha. And now in High Def with Blu Ray! You lucky bugger, you! (Wonders how good gore looks that way...) The site looks really good. I like that little camera eye lens thing, haha. And the dash of colour here and there. Snazzy, indeed! I hate carving pumpkins, too, lol. I stick to wanting to PAINT stuff on the pumpkins. Just stab their head with lollipops and voila! A nice artistic centerpiece and you didn't even have to do any major surgery on the sucker! Puberty... Soooo much fun. Ugh. Lol. Good for you, BAAAD for us! (I mean separately... oh... nvm...) I'd comment on CNN but I'm just never bored enough to stare blankly at the tv and actually listen to what's being said on that station. But when it's LA Ink... Well... THAT'S a different story, haha. Hope you got a fast acting cream for that rash ;-) LMAO! Take care! Toodles and tequila! And please... DO THE PODCAST! Lol. -Amanda.   Posted by ~* shortyinabox *~ on Monday, October 27, 2008 - 8:53 PM [Reply to this]

	~* shortyinabox *~	One last thing... Please don't grow the facial hair like Hoggard has. No one looks good with that. I mean... Honestly... Not even Criss Angel could pull it off. But if it was a stylized beard, I could forgive you. Just don't do the "chin strap." It's overplayed and looks too "Abe Lincoln" for anyone... specially you ;-) But rough cut... yeah... Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' bout... :-P   Posted by ~* shortyinabox *~ on Monday, October 27, 2008 - 9:01 PM [Reply to this]

	Maureen	Hey Kalan ...great to hear from you..love to overdue library book analagy..LOL..will keep you honest...(Anderson Cooperism..LOL..I watch CNN too..) as for Candy Crawley...I noticed she's looking mighty fine these days and always love to hear her take on the 'all things political'.. Lovin the look of "Stenton"... can't wait to hear any new song from you and sounds like you might be finding your groove if your liking them more and more after a few days.... As for the TV and Blueray, good for you and Planet Earth ONLY WAY TO SEE IT...I bought Planet Earth off of Ebay for Hubbies bday and they 'accidentaly' sent me the blue ray disc instead of HD..well, guess what ELSE he got for his bday, PS3, because it plays Blue Ray..Lucky Guy ..:) but yeah Planet Earth Highly recommended viewing. Guess your learning to be Mr. Domestic now eh? LOL and glad you enjoyed your Bday gifts. Always a pleasure to give you something back as you give us so much. The Dr's. well join the club...cough cough...hope the rash clears up 'soon'..LOL looking forward to any blog from you video, audio or written. Always love to hear from you.

	. : Sarah : .	--3)Bought a new TV and a Blue Ray player... Last Sunday I watched the entire Planet Earth series... without leaving the couch once, an achievement I am quite proud of.-- Without leaving the couch once?! That's definitely an achievement. ...and possibly unhealthy, haha. My friends and I once did a Lord of The Rings (Extended Edition) marathon... dang it's hard to get through just ONE of those movies without a bathroom break! --4)Carved a pumpkin and realized I hate carving pumpkins.-- Was it a nifty one, or just your typical jack-o-lantern face? Cause if you get awesome with the carving, then people's compliments outweigh the icky carving part! --5)Didn't fix my Myspace because I have no idea what’s wrong.... Did I mention I loooove Myspace... Sooo user friendly Adding extra o's means I'm lying-- You can probably blame the Myspace people themselves for this one... all the site changing they've been doing since they know they're losing business to Facebook. LOL. --6)Cleaned my new hooouse-- Sooooounds like you did as much cleaning as I did. --7)Got some amazing birthday gifts from fans... If you were part of the gift giving groups.... thank you so much... I can hardly manage to get my own family birthday gifts... Last year I gave my sister a homemade coupon for hugs... She didn't redeem...-- You should give those out at your concerts. You know they'll get used there!! --8)Went to a family wedding... I hope they were registered at the Kalan Hug Store-- *googles http://www.kalanhugstore.com* --10)Watched lots of CNN Is it wrong that I'm oddly attracted to Candy Crowley? She could be my senior political analyst any day...-- err... to each their own I suppose! XD --11)Went to the doctor.... It turned out to be just a rash Pheww... Did I just write that?-- 8O --I was thinking of maybe starting to do some audio blogs... kinda like a podcast... but just on my website.-- Do it!! Family Force 5 always does audio blogs and they're crazy hilarious!

	Coo_Coo's Kalan Porter Fan Space	OOOOOOOH! A numbered list! How well organized for parenthetical comments! 1)Wrote 5 new songs... and don't even hate them yet (Let's keep it that way. Fight that urge to throw out, just think of "Hurray".) 2) Debuted my new temporary website (Cool site, very comic bookish...but a little out of date pictorially, non?) 3)Bought a new TV and a Blue Ray player... Last Sunday I watched the entire Planet Earth series... without leaving the couch once, an achievement I am quite proud of. (Good for you?) 4)Carved a pumpkin and realized I hate carving pumpkins. (You carved a pumpkin that far in advance??? How are you storing it? I wanted to do that but I fear rotting.) 5)Didn't fix my Myspace because I have no idea what’s wrong.... Did I mention I loooove Myspace... (your space is fine, but the music videos from youtube don't work, you must embed.) 9)Didn't shave... cause I'm growing facial hair remember (KUDOS, you get the Under 40-Fan Seal of Approval with that one) 10)Watched lots of CNN Is it wrong that I'm oddly attracted to Candy Crowley? She could be my senior political analyst any day... (whatever butters your toast...at least it's not that Republican lady whose face doesn't move) 11)Went to the doctor.... It turned out to be just a rash (...Good for you)   Posted by Coo_Coo's Kalan Porter Fan Space on Monday, October 27, 2008 - 10:05 PM [Reply to this]

	Karen	Well, it's about time that you blogged. I was about to give up on yoooooooou. Glad you liked your birthday gifts. What a lucky guy you are to have such wonderful fans, eh? Good luck in the studio, and more importantly, good luck with that rash. Sweet Candy dreams.   Posted by Karen on Monday, October 27, 2008 - 10:21 PM [Reply to this]

	Lorna	Hey Kalan! A LITTLE overdue? LOL! ... and what do you mean you run out of things to talk about?! ... You just wrote about 11 different things here! My responses: 1. Give it some time. 2. Very cool! 3. Good for you! 4. Why? I loooove pumpkin carving! 5. Stop lying! 6. I told you to stop lying! 7. Give it to me instead ... I'll make sure it gets used! 8. If not, I am ... and I'm not even engaged! 9. Glad you're enjoying it! Mid-life crisis is even better! 10. Do you really like Candy Crowley? ... or just her first name! 11. Did you just write that? Audio blogs? Great idea! Talk soon ;) Lorna   Posted by Lorna on Monday, October 27, 2008 - 10:50 PM [Reply to this]

I cant imagine how you find the time to sit and process the thought.. hmm i should REALLY check my myspace account and write a blog, let alone actually find the time to do it.. Kudos to you My friend! as always a pleasure to read...   Posted by cheyenne on Monday, October 27, 2008 - 11:05 PM [Reply to this]

	Sherril	That's quite a list...sounds like you're keeping busy! So you carved a pumpkin, but didn't mention choosing a Halloween costume yet. Surely you are going out on the town Friday night for tricks, treats and tequila, eh? Have fun but...don't do anything "rash"! (Groan) Hugs ;o)   Posted by Sherril on Monday, October 27, 2008 - 11:09 PM [Reply to this]

	Leah	Not much to say...except if your not using a power tool to carve your pumpkins.... you're not doing it right. ;) ....just sayin'..... Black & Decker + a drill bit = minutes of fun (and a little stress release) Oh.. and congrats on the rash. :)   Posted by Leah on Monday, October 27, 2008 - 11:22 PM [Reply to this]

	Leslie	Hey Kalan and Fellow Kalanadians, 10 hours of writing and recording...way to go! Creative work can make the time go quickly, but I usually have to come up for air after 1 1/2 hours. Have you read Julia Cameron's "The Artist's Way"? If I knew how, I would send it to you for Christmas (since I missed your B.D. When is it anyway? Happy Belated!) Congrats on the puberty blues! Har! My son anxiously awaits his first 'pit hair, and he's only 11...he may have a long wait ahead of him.   Posted by Leslie on Monday, October 27, 2008 - 11:52 PM [Reply to this]

	Jess	Hey! I'm from the U.S. and I have to say you're my favorite musician! You're voice is great and you're blogs are quite entertaining! Keep writing and recording! Come to New York City-it's at least 3/4 as cool as Toronto (proven fact)!   Posted by Jess on Tuesday, October 28, 2008 - 12:30 AM [Reply to this]

	Walnut	A blog fee? Sure, I'll pay...lol. I took my face out of a jar of Nutella to read because your humour is far more tasty! You've written five songs? Wow, you've been productive! But, attracted to Candy Crowley? It's time for you to take a little rest, that woman is not much sought after by the Y chromosomes, if you know what I mean. A podcast would be fabulous, I really miss the Q&A videos. I hope you had fun at the wedding. Did you sing?   Posted by Walnut on Tuesday, October 28, 2008 - 1:04 AM [Reply to this]

Um so glad you didn't mention the location of the said RASH!!!! LMAO Glad you liked your B'day presents...No mention of shopping sprees. Podcast KOOL idea, but how would we be able to reply??? Just remember to say, I Love my Songs, I love my Songs..hehe Loved Leah's idea of Black and Deckering my Pumpkin.(hmmmm wonder if the guts will fly all over the place.) So what's the size of your TV!!? Did your sprout a couple of more facial hairs...lol I can see you looking in the mirror every morning counting them... Oh behind the scenes of your recording would be Amazing!! Happy Writing and No worries we will love anytime you have for us. Oh yeah so where is this Kalan Hug Store? must go shopping there!!!

	Eileen/Littleshort	A Kalan Porter blog...just what the doctor ordered to end my stressful work day. Sounds like the songwriting is coming along swimmingly...sorry swimming lessons was the topic on the drive home tonight. :) Sounds like you need to place a call to the Techie gods to come help you out with your myspace page. Hug coupons...you know if you put some up on ebay, you could raising some cash for CBCF. Facial hair...scruff..good; beard..not so much. Rash?? Definitely more info than we needed to know. lol It looks like your making good use of your birthday gifts. We love spoiling you. BTW, you really need to get an address for fan mail even if it's just a box #. Audio blogs, video blogs, written blogs, we will take them any way we can. Thanks for blogging, Kalan! We love hearing from you! Hugs...Eileen   Posted by Eileen/Littleshort on Tuesday, October 28, 2008 - 1:50 AM [Reply to this]

	julie	Hey Kalan, so very glad to see you only used two "o"'s in TALK SOON. Also glad you liked the gifts, and you are welcome. The shoppers did a great job of picking them out.

	earlsgirl	Kalan, thanks for this newsy blog. Five more songs closer to a new record……sounds good to me and is that pumpkin for YOUR stoop? Are you actually going to answer the door for all those trick or treaters? Make them work for it. :) Candy Crowley?? I think you need to get off that couch more often. At least long enough to change the channel. LOL So glad you were happy with the birthday gifts. Enjoy! Oh! And take care of that rash… Judy   Posted by earlsgirl on Tuesday, October 28, 2008 - 2:06 AM [Reply to this]

	No longer using MySpace	Wow you have been very busy there Kalan... When did you buy a house? Very cool!!. It's great to hear from you again!. Laurie   Posted by No longer using MySpace on Tuesday, October 28, 2008 - 2:06 AM [Reply to this]

	Obsessed/ A Kalan Porter fansite	Audioblog?? Yes please.   Posted by Obsessed/ A Kalan Porter fansite on Tuesday, October 28, 2008 - 2:56 AM [Reply to this]

	Julie Heeney	as a frustrated musician sometimes I wonder if I have a gift or a curse. I think I'd love to write songs all day but maybe I wouldn't - kind of like thinking carving a pumpkin would be fun..then it's not. Who knows. At least I like one of the songs I wrote. It is on my myspace if you give it a listen. I recommend it for anyone going through trials. Kalan you could critique the violinist...I paid her some decent money for the job. Also did you ever wonder how come you can never write a song that you like as much as your favorite song by someone else. Keep writing - we will love your songs and we prefer your writing to some body else writing for you. PS Yes thank you for the updates!!! and can you tour Los Angeles?   Posted by Julie Heeney on Tuesday, October 28, 2008 - 3:29 AM [Reply to this]

	lunatrix Lori Lafond	Hey Kalan...I have been a fan from the early Idol days. Your talented presence would not allow me to peel myself away from the television screen back then. I did see you perform live once at a New Year's Eve concert in Kitchener (where I am residing). I decided to leave my comfort zone (facebook) and learn to navigate my way through myspace only a few months ago. This feat was motivated by my inclination to follow the career of another Idol fave who got booted off this past season (way too early in my opinion); a young, cute, shy rocker like yourself (and I mean that with the utmost respect)! Voila...I discovered your site and may I say, I absolutely love your sense of humour and dedication to interacting with the fans, no matter how busy you are or what curve balls life throws your way. I look forward to connecting with you and the "fan"ily, as well as listening to what you are creating as we all speak. Thank you for showing your true colours through blogging.   Posted by lunatrix on Tuesday, October 28, 2008 - 4:26 AM [Reply to this]

	Talisman Arts	Thanks so much for the blog!! I knew you didn't want to explode from holding that wit in. ;) You have such a great sense of humooooour. (Just kidding; you honestly do!) I hope you do manage to do a few audio-video blogs. That would be so wonderful. We all so love to hear from you. You're that fifth cousin twice-removed who hardly ever writes or calls...... *lol* Take care, Kalan! *HUGS!!!!*   Posted by Talisman Arts on Tuesday, October 28, 2008 - 7:35 AM [Reply to this]

	Nightangel	Hey Cowboy! It's about time you got your hiney off the couch and blogged! You forgot to mention that you sent me 55 roses for my Birthday on the 23rd!!! They are lovely and lasting well. Happy to hear that you are getting some songs written as well as having time to just sit on the couch in you underwear and watch TV. Hope the "rash" is gone by now, probably was a adverse reaction to all that couch sitting! Take care, Jean   Posted by Nightangel on Tuesday, October 28, 2008 - 3:37 PM [Reply to this]

	Margaret Margaret Villeneuve	Ahh Kalan - you are such a sweetie - you think you have nothing to say but in the meantime we wait with baited breath just to hear your nothings! We dont care, as long as you just say Hi.. great news on your songs, you have indeed been very busy but glad to hear you took time out to just spend a day doing nothing but watch TV. good choice in watching Animal Planet. Dont worry about slacking off on the blogging we really do understand. Are there any of those Kalan hug coupons for sale? I am sure you could make a bundle with those!! Have a great creative week, we love you always.   Posted by Margaret on Tuesday, October 28, 2008 - 7:00 PM [Reply to this]

	Stargirl	[quote]Sometimes I just run out of things to talk about...[/quote] Me too...and sometimes I just don't feel like talking...or blogging. Don't blog because you think you should, Kalan. I'm much happier thinking you blog when you want to or when you believe you do have something to say. 5 new songs - that's great. I always like hearing about song selection, how many songs an artist has gathered, how one makes the cut and another one doesn't...maybe you might like to share how you decide what to keep and what to set aside during one of those audio blogs? Based on your comment that extra ooo's mean you're lying, I'm a bit confused about your comment on cleaning your house...not sure if you didn't clean or if you don't have a house, lol. Candy Crowley...now there's a mouthful, eh? Hmmm, she sure does remind me of someone... The rash comment totally reminds me of a Friends episode, lol.   Posted by Stargirl on Tuesday, October 28, 2008 - 7:52 PM [Reply to this]

	Margaret Margaret Villeneuve	I know I goofed, you did say you watched the Planet Earth series not Animal Planet. You see what happens? I just got so excited to hear from you that I got mixed up. Take all the time you want Kalan to work on your music without worrying about blogging. Your loyal fans will always be here for you no matter what. Love ya   Posted by Margaret on Tuesday, October 28, 2008 - 9:12 PM [Reply to this]

	shirley	Kalan, Thanks for the blog - I was wondering what you've been doing and how the songwriting is going. It is worth the wait as your blogs are so much fun to read!! 5 new songs - impressive. Didn't shave? I loved the stubble you had at your Calgary show - hope that's all you're growing. Can't imagine you in a full-out beard. Audio blogs would be great and I will definitely check out the new website. What are you doing for Halloween? Can we see some pics. Take care and keep your heart warm, LOL Shirley   Posted by shirley on Tuesday, October 28, 2008 - 10:05 PM [Reply to this]

	Swamp	Hi, Kalan. Just hate your blooooooooogs....... Adding extra o's means I'm lying OK, OK, so I'm a plagiarist...... plagiar me this, batman ........ 5 songs! Wow, that's great! ....... especially if you don't hate them ....... When is your next album due out? Hope it's soon! Facial hair, eh? Hmmmmm...... Hope it doesn't turn out like Cris Angel's Man, what a bush! So glad he shaved it off! And I don't believe he doesn't care what he looks like! I'll see if he's still clean shaven on Nov 9 row 5 for Believe I'm not a Cirque du Soleil fan so hope the show is magical Wishing you lots of happiness on your birthday, K! And lots and lots of hugs You are free to reimburse as much as you'd like! Multos hugs & kisses, -Swamp   Posted by Swamp on Tuesday, October 28, 2008 - 10:16 PM [Reply to this]
