It’s been a while since I’ve officially been helping promote a concert. Usually I just encourage people to go because the band is awesome, but the upcoming Kaleidoscope benefit concert is trying to raise money for social programs in the DTES. The concert features four local bands, door prizes and tickets are only [...]
It seems I may have the post-Olympics flu, as I stayed home from work today. This is my final Olympic-related post, just to clear off the last few links and stories I seem to have kept handy in case I needed them.
First David Eby got a pie in the face, this was amusing for [...]
I thought of that title a couple of days ago, but saved it. Today wasn’t a particularly eventful day Olympic wise, stuff happened in the DTES, stuff always happens in the DTES. W2 did a whole bunch of stuff today, I’m sure it is all over the blogosphere, April was there. I [...]

I’m at home watching the Olympics on CTV. Canada and Japan are racing long track speed skating, the 500m so the shortest distance. Canada must do well in this as I don’t think it is live. The Japanese guy won. “Nip-pon, Nip-pon!” Canada is doing well enough, but if the [...]

The Opening Ceremonies had not even began when the naysayers had something else to crow about. I said all yesterday I hope they don’t.
