Loving your site and trying to spread the word.
Very cool ongoing monthly music night at Orange Art Gallery. The owner, Ingrid, brings in cool bluesy bands first Fri of each month. Surrounded by cool art In a really cool building- the old CN Bank at the south end of City Centre property.
By way of intro, we spoke a year ago- I was raving about your site and maybe I could help you- then lost your link in tech cosmos. Then I find you again and told my brother Mike Quevillon about you. He’s impressed as well.
Keep it up.
Sincerely,
Ann Quevillon
Hello Ann, thanks for the nice words!! I have promoted several events at Orange Art Gallery, and will definitely keep my eyes open for the others. Thanks for the tip! Is your brother the same Mike Quevillon who hosts the monthly card and comic show?
