Hey Fanz!
Catch us at The Free Times Café, 320 College Street, two blocks west of Spadina, on June 20, and every third Sunday of the month.
No telling who'll show up or what they'll do, but
I'll be there, and you should too!
The Persistent Roomers are also doing a fundraiser for
Descant
, a 35 year old Literary Magazine that publishes new Canadian writing. If you're interested in supporting the magazine, contact
Rory Sinclair.
AND
big street dance in Simcoe on Wednesday, June 30.
The main intersection has been all ripped up since forever, and now it's going to be all done, and all nice too!
We'll also be playing at the

Afrofest is the largest annual festival of
African music and culture in North America. It takes place this year on
Saturday, July 10 and Sunday, July 11 at Queen's Park, behind the provincial legislature.
It's also the biggest and best party in Toronto that nobody knows about. Well, except for the 10,000 people, including African musicians from all around the world, who come every year
for the music and the African crafts, not to mention the corn soup and the fried plantain. I won't be playing, but look for me near the
Amnesty International tent.
Did I mention there's an election on?
What if we actually got the government we voted
for?
Patience pays off

Hang tough Simcoe, the end is almost in sight. And, hopefully,
so too is a new beginning.
After about a dozen weeks of disruption to date, the $3.33 million
reconstruction of Norfolk Street is nearing completion.

No one is looking forward to the end of the reconstruction more than
Simcoe's Business Improvement Association. In fact, the BIA is planning a big
party June 30 to mark the event.
In addition to holding extended sales to 10 p.m. on the day before the July
1 holiday, there will be a fashion show, dance and fitness demonstrations and
music all-day at a special stage to be set up on Syndenham Street.

In the meantime, continue to tread carefully.
AND FINALLY:
Gordon's Acoustic Living Room just won't go away!
