tomorrow night y'all!

So sad. Olivia Chow, his wife, is the councillor in my area/ I use to see them biking around Kensington Market. I hope the best for her and their kids. Very sad day for Canadian Politics... in addition this really hurts our current political situation with the Conservative majority.

I'm DJying tonight at Unit Bar on Queen W. Starting around 10pm 1198 Queen Street West http://unitbar.wordpress.com/ Soul, Funk, Reggae, Afrobeat Mediums: 45 rpm and 33 rpm records plus Serato

D'oh!

I'm looking for a new phone provider. What I really want an Iphone 4 without a contract any ideas? I'm with Fido and they won't let me use $400 my FIDO dollars toward a new Iphone without locking in for 3 years on a data plan, even though I'm still under a contract till April 2012. Complicated part is that I'm moving in the new year to the US, so I need a phone that will work on a US plan starting in January. any help would be sweet. -J

well, hmm.. back up plan is the Slip w/ Marco - I'm sold either way!

yup tix also at the door... Love to have your help pumping the show on BlogTo... did you guys see this: http://www.glidemagazine.com/hiddentrack/surprise-me-mr-davis-everything-must-go/ On August 23, HT faves Surprise Me Mr. Davis will hopefully kick off a Canadian Tour following a set at the Liberate Music Festival in Sheldon, Vermont on the 20th. Why hopefully? The band’s front man, Nathan Moore, has been denied entry to the Great White North in the past due to an unfortunate encounter he had with cops in California six years ago. The pacifistic singer/songwriter and the tour’s promoters have lobbied the Canadian government and are hopeful a kindly border guard will let Moore in for the four-show run. Let’s keep our fingers crossed as we watch SMMD tackle Everything Must Go at High Sierra ’08…
