I’ve been lucky enough to go to some awesome shows at the Kopshop,  including the Aeroquatica exhibition last summer and they’re currently in what I guess you could call a pickle of a situation, so here’s a message I got recently that I thought I’d spread around and would like to encourage you to do […]

I met Ben Williamson in the middle of the night. I dropped by a friend’s new apartment after a Habs’ game and a pitcher of beer, and the grand tour included a peek into his roommate Ben’s art studio. As such, I was able to get a glimpse of Ben Williamson’s startling Chernobyl Narrative series […]

My Hero Gallery has another show coming up this Friday. Sarah Byrnes and Michelle Williams run this new gallery. These lovely ladies always impress me in a way that warms my heart ( I swear the best piece at the Christmas show was the GIANT gingerbread house). The vernissage is from 6-11 on Friday January […]

Bold Saber is a great band name- it reminds me of the bodice rippers I’d find at gramas’ or aunts’ houses growing up. It sounds like the courageous, intrepid member of a sweaty pirate guy, which is probably exactly what this dear, deadpan funny electro threesome was going for when they made it up… […]

Hey Y’all, quick heads up that:
1. The Image+Nation LGBT International Film Fest starts today in Montreal.

I’d like to tell you more about it, but there’s little info about the fest itself on the website, hmm. If you know something- share!
