To All Indyish Neighbors, Block Parents, Children and Ol’folks
I am sending out to you, for the first time ever (Indyish Cherry Popped!!), an invitation to see works of art at Galerie VAV Gallery, by Tara Chartrand and myself (Thea Jones). Tara and I were strangers before this show, but quickly we saw the […]

We’ve got some updates regarding the Drama Mess happening at OFF Intrarts tomorrow, Saturday April 26th!
For one, our friends at Afro Bytes will be setting up shop to offer all some tasties off the Barbeque! What better way to celebrate the change in weather with a back yard BBQ, tasty (cheap) McAuslan beers and a […]

There’s a buzz goin’ on about the Reel Dames Film Festival. A plethora of my friends have found ourselves pleasantly confounded by how we all independently decided this was what we were doing Wednesday night without consulting each other. TG great minds think alike. Yeehaw, as they say.
Our own Martin Reisch, aka *safe solvent, will […]

Start your Saint-Patrick’s Day (weekend) off right with Peter Katz this Friday at Club Lambi.
A CBC darling and Montreal native, Katz launched his CD More Nights at Club Lambi last June as a Montreal Fringe special event. I was there and remember the evening very fondly; Peter is a great performer and casts a […]
