It would be a mistake to assume that everyone wants monogamy, or that heterosexual monogamy is the best way to be because of some sort of cosmic Create Progeny! priority, at least if your circles are at all alternative or indie or in any way diverse or contemporary. That mode is outdated for many. Despite [...]

Hello Indyish nation
I would like to cordially invite you all to a special night of musical comedy that I am putting on featuring a good friend of mine from New York, Ben Lerman. He is a uniquely hilarious ukulele troubadour and his uproarious performance is a must-see summer event. I’m extremely excited that [...]
This is a post from the morning after the Kinks Konvention tribute night… that I did not attend. I’m feeling freaked out at having made the decision not to go, but a few factors made it necessary, and a few other factors hopefully make it ok:

The first one is called “La Paria” and is organized by our local skateboard scene. This is our 3rd year showing the artwork [...]
There’s is a lovely and excellent little venue here in Montreal called O Patro Vys; where the stage faces the sound board in just such a way it can make soundlovers love again, so I’m told. It’s upstairs-sister to the equally odd, awesome and ostrich-eyed Bily Kun, on Mount Royal west of St. Denis. [...]
Want to get a great idea of how the arts aspects of open source are evolving? You’ll get a huge dose from the aggregator built on a site called, of course, peace love and happiness. The site might be dizzying at first because it has so much info, but I think you’ll want to check [...]
