And met [...]

Over the course of running the Outdoor Site (read: Beer Tent) at the 18th edition of the Ste-Ambroise Montreal Fringe Festival I was able to snap a few shots of the goings on around the tent.

It’s true. Alanah stole my copy of Break On Through and is enjoying it thoroughly.

Merry New Year… Day 3.
There’s been a lack of posts from Indyish-Team South (NYC) these past few days. We set out with such ideals (post every day!) and intent and we haven’t come through.
Well, folks, here is a late night, bar/pint originating post from the Indyish voice that rarely posts… even when he’s back home. [...]
