The Roar 2007 Festival News
The Buzz begins!
September 06, 2007
How did it get to be Thursday? It was just Wednesday?
Just got off the phone with a lovely woman from The Edmonton Examiner, who will be doing a story on the ROAR. I’ll be holding a glass of wine for a photo-shoot tomorrow morning at AXIS Cafe…pretending it’s actually later in the day…QUESTION: Should I shave off this “House” beard for the photo? Hmmm…I wish House’s brilliant yet drug-fuddled mind came along with the beard.
We’ll be growing the buzz in the coming weeks. Tell your family and friends about our little shin-dig of 11 shows on a Friday night. Eleven shows! Diversity and brilliance. Poetry/spoken word that dares to communicate.
Check out Todd Tabiak’s column in today’s Edmonton Journal. We love Todd Babiak.
