Since I’m in Halifax for the week, today’s photo of the day is stolen from the myspace page of Halifax musician, Craig Currie a.k.a. Chief Thundercloud. I had the pleasure of meeting Craig in Montreal at Omon Ra’s CD release show. This photo is by “em”, perhaps an Emily. Listen to more of Chief Thundercloud’s […]

For those of you who spent the long weekend at Osheaga or SappyFest, today is probably a day of sleeping in and going for easy walks. If you’re in Montreal, you should pass by Phonopolis for a free basement show with the Bicycles and Hank Pine & Lily Fawn. While you’re there, check out the […]

All summer I’ve been planning to visit Halifax in August to check in with my family and have coffee with my high school buds. But the dates keep getting pushed back to the point where friends here in Montreal don’t believe that I’m actually ever going to leave the city. It’s awkward because I’ve already […]

I’m in Halifax having a short visit with my family until tomorrow. Meanwhile, we’ve started registering people for Assembly 2.0 and organizing all the many layered steps of its development. You can meet some of the writers who have already signed up to take part on the Celtx Assembly forums, where you’ll also be able […]
