Now in its 16th year, North by Northeast showcases great new music and music-related films.
For five days and nights every June, music takes over Toronto: live performances, films, the newest music-biz ideas, a digital interactive conference—all within a few km of each other. Next year's event will be held from June 16-20.
In 2009, NXNE reached over 250,000 people over 5 nights of shows at 40 venues spread throughout Toronto's famous club district, free performances at Pearson International Airport and Union Station, outdoor stages at city parks and public spaces, including the festival's outdoor mainstage at Yonge-Dundas Square right downtown.

At the same time, the NXNE Film Festival screens the year's most compelling music films-concert classics to indie docs from around the world.

About this page: I have been very active in Domestic Violence causes all of my adult life. I noticed a need in the world pertaining to Same Sex Domestic Violence. It happens more than people know. Unfortunately there are a number of gay people who barely consider themselves worthy or valued as a gay person much less a Domestic Violence Victim. There are also very limited resources, statistics, or information, for Same Sex Domestic Violence. Hopefully through empowerment and education we can change some of this. :D ~ Dee ~

Would you send a kiss to save the world To keep someone, maybe you, from dying in it?
Would you send a kiss To save your favorite girl?
What would you kiss that you would put on this list?
We all think we know what we are fighting for Until something hurts us Then generations later Still asking ourselves Was it worth it Seem to go through the same thing We can wake up from a bad dream With screams Or when we reach for a kiss For that we open our eyes And say I want more of this And we go through that day Longing for that kiss Could you imagine saving the world With a simple kiss list?
I kiss my pen And it bleeds So that maybe We wont be leaves Blown away In a win-less storm
I kiss my friend's bliss And they say they love me Year after year of this Loyalty Inspired by spirit kiss
Would you send a kiss to save your favorite video game?
You name What would make you aim your lips And send a kiss
Hendrix kissed the sky Would you kiss the child in you You hide the cries And truly say I'll be OK Today I'll make myself my own baby And kiss me bliss 'Til no pain can stay
And once I'm entrenched In the practice of this I'll see clearly What I love And put that on my kiss list
I once blew a kiss to hate And watched hate become confused And wait
What is on your wish list? That you consent to bliss kiss? A kiss for your business? For your dreams? For your favorite sports team? Sports hero? Your favorite car? I'm blowing you a bliss kiss So maybe you'll put something On your wish list Hoping maybe we'll build up enough bliss To offset all war With a simple kiss
Call me a fool But some things are worth writing for
