A friend of mine the other day bemoaned the fact that everything is on Facebook now. And I can relate. I avoided it for a very long time and finally caved when I wanted to feel close to someone who was moving far away. In the interim, I've since discovered it's quite scintillating, as long as you don't let it consume you.

Thanks for reading & for coming out to these parties.

December into 2012!

Dear Lovelies!

According to the Mayan calendar, 2012 is supposed to portend the end of the world. As someone who is a little tired, this actually doesn't sound so bad to me. Sometimes it's nice to know that something has an actual ending to it.

But until then, I am committed to putting on weird & wonderful events! Starting with these:

STRIP SPELLING BEE in MONTREAL: http://www.facebook.com/events/154994664600132
NEW YEAR'S SLOWDANCE in MONTREAL: http://www.facebook.com/events/301602613205124

For those who don't know what "You Are a Cat" is, it's a book written and illustrated by the organizer of Chat Perdu Production events, Sherwin Sullivan Tjia. It's a Choose Your Own Adventure style book written from the POV of a housecat. Here is more info on it.

Doors at 9:30 PM. Dance from 10 to 2. $10 at the door includes your dancecard!

September Events!

Dearly beloved,

September is AWESOME!
I love September because it means autumn, which is my favourite time of the year.
So in honour of it, I always do a bunch of events. So here they are! I hope to see you at one, or all of them.

STRIP SPELLING BEE in MONTREAL on Friday, Sept. 30th:

SLOWDANCE NIGHT in MONTREAL on Saturday, Oct. 1st:
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=167520176664373&

And Finally, while not in November, I am so excited for this I made the event page well in advance. So, alongside creating weird events, I like to write weird books. This past year I'd created a "Choose Your Own Adventure" style book from the point of view of a housecat called "You Are a Cat!", and it's going to launch in Toronto on November 5th:
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=284203688261713
The Montreal launch has yet to be decided, but I will certainly announce it here.

Finally, you should all "LIKE" this page, to keep apprised of future quirky events!
