Support local artists!

I said I'd keep you updated about Cam and Murray's respective bands, so here it goes. Cam's band, The Wax Poets, are in a contest sponsored by FUEL 90.3 to win $200,000! There are four bands in the running, but I'm not sure how the winner is decided. There is a live event as well at text voting. My cell phone doesn't even work, so I had to ask Elaine to vote for me, so I guess I sorta voted. Texts will only be accepted by Calgary area residents only! So sorry if you live outside Calgary.

Murray's band, The Windy City 4, are actually on hiatus right now due to the drummer injuring his back, I think. But in the spring they did record a 5 song EP which is now available! I came home after my last trip to Cranbrook to find a package had come in the mail. While I'm always getting something in the mail I didn't remember ordering anything from Taiwan, so it was a nice surprise. I got it for free, but you can get it practically for free at the mere cost of $5 and that includes shipping anywhere in the world. I know you all got $5, so go buy a copy from The Windy City 4's Myspace page because if you don't then you totally suck and are not cool.
