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.

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 [...]

Actually there has been a lot of big news over the last few days, so I’m stealing some moments to summarize much of it, as having just come from Storm Salon, not everyone has been paying attention to the news.
