Hi & thanks for the add,
We're coming to Vancouver for an outdoor matinee at 2pm this Sunday, October 25th right in the heart of the city!
It's called L'Octoberage and it's at a place called 'Le Mirage', a converted 48 passenger coach and surrounding gardens at 345 E 1st Ave (across from Artech Lofts).
There will be homemade perogies, ethically raised pork, home made beer, hot chocolate, and several musical acts, including Acres and Acres, Jon Mckiel, and Klarka Weinwurm (all from Halifax).
I can't wait for this show!
Tell your friends,
Dave

How awesome is the Beatles? I rank them as high up as, well, nobody. Nobody ranks higher than The Beatles in my books. I will eternally love Strawberry Fields Forever, I Am The Walrus, and Day In A Life (All Lennon songs) :)
Thanks for digging our stuff dude. Hope you liked our review too :) And I like that little creature in your display picture. He looks upset though. One too many rainbow cookies for breakfast?
Hey draw us something quirky on our profile if you want to or leave a happy random comment.
Do you have an album coming out anytime soon? I'd love to check it out the moment it hits. Any friend of the Beatles is a friend of mine (except if you like clowns in a sexual way or think that giraffes are from Mars)
Howdy! Things are good... how's with you? Yeah, I feel like an ass too... I'm always forgetting to call in the evenings for some reason (I'll blame that on the time delay ;)
We've been pretty busy so far... Montreal last weekend, Ottawa before that, and Florida/Montreal this weekend (for Jaime and myself respectively). I'll try to bring my computer this weekend to send you that guitar track and whatever else (you should remind me what you need). Oh, and the mixes of Alex's songs...
So I was looking up tarot cards and meanings and I found this description of one tarot card called "The Empress".... sound like anything else we've written about??? This totally gave me chills, Ellis.
Traditionally entitled "Empress," this major arcana or "trump" card portrays the energy of the Great Mother. She is Nature, around us but also within us, the ever-unfolding Source of life-giving power. She is often pictured as a pre-Christian Goddess, as the one whom the High Priestess is channeling down to earth for the rest of us.
In medieval Europe, the Empress card was painted to represent whatever Queen currently ruled the land, probably to satisfy the Inquisitors. But the scholars of the Renaissance and beyond had no doubt of her true identity, although she could not be fully revealed on Tarot cards as the "woman clothed with the sun" until after the French Revolution.
This supreme archetype of femininity also symbolizes fertility. It is She who provides us nourishment and security. She is also sometimes seen as delighting us with flowers and fruit. A potentially terrifying aspect of this archetype manifests itself whenever karmic mood swings wipe out our plans, like a storm that has come upon us. Whatever happens, the Empress is the Source of our Embodiment and of Natural Law. She might even be called "the Great Recycler."
I'm finally done my M.A. on Thursday at noon. Come out and have a drink at the Main if you're free Thursday night. Paul and Lucy will be doing an unplugged Young and Sexy show and I'll join them for a song.
