Q.U.I.N.Z.M.A.S.
Good afternoon, all.
Though there isn't any snow in this town yet, that doesn't mean Christmas ain't coming atcha... And what's that riding on Christmas's shoulders like some gleaming golden toddler? Why, it's Quinzmas!
Here's how it looks:

The West End Cultural Centre Presents The Fifth Annual
QUINZMAS Featuring Quinzy & House of Doc
December 11 & 12
West End Cultural Centre
Tickets available at the WECC, and here:

A few years ago the boys from Quinzy decided to throw a holiday bash at the West End. They got some Christmas lights, a tree, some Santa hats, recorded a special song for the occasion, and invited their pals House of Doc to help celebrate the season. It was such a hit that they did it again the next year, and the next after that. Last year it was sold out for two nights at the Park Theatre, and this year we're proud to have the show return to the West End.
Quinzy is set to release their latest EP, "Self-Defense." It's the third installment in a trilogy that began in June 2008 with "One Boy's Guide to the Moon", quickly followed up by "These Nautical Miles" in February 2009. It captures the arc and sound of a brilliant and very hard working band hitting its creative and commercial stride. This year's Quinzmas promises to be bigger, better, and have more stuffing than ever before!

Thanks Toronto
After a perilous night drive shrouded in fog we arrived in Toronto for an action packed week. Thanks to everyone who came out to 'The Supermarket' for my birthday and, I suppose, for the Quinzy show. It was a pleasure reaching an enjoyable level of refreshment with you after the show. Big thanks to the benevolent hot dog vendor who sold us 14 polish sausages at 3am.
Here is my choice for picture of the week...
Remember 'Quinzmas' is coming soon. See the thread below for details!

Thanks! And Quinzmas!
Big, gigantic ups to everyone who helped make last Saturday a total success. A jam-packed house, marvelous guests, hella prizes and a new album: A fine night indeed.
There is one more event this year, and then we go into hibernation. It goes a little something like this.
