Thursday

yip! yip!

Need an update?
Oh yessirrrr!
1) EVAC!
The East Village Artist Co-op is cleaned up and final touches are being places on all the amazing creative works, the informational tables and zines are still being folded. I am certain we have all developed zine folding elbow as a result. 
Play lists are being selected. 
Food is soon to be made
Donations are coming in.
Bike ballots are printing.

2) Informational Tables!
A great deal of time was spent yesterday darting across the city gathering information from all the various, amazing organisations that dedicate their time helping those who need a helping hand. As I was visiting these places, I thought my heart would explode with all the positivity, hope, love and support. Everyone was so willing to help and support this event that aims to ensure the womyn of our fine city flourish with creative delight and emotional love.
At both nights, you will find information from the following organisations:
- Sexual Assault Centre of London.
- The AIDS Committee of London.
- S.O.H.A.C.
- Women's Community House.
-Atlohsa.
- My Sister's Place.
- The Health Unit of Middlesex County
- Nokee Kwe Skills & Development.
- The London Abused Women's Centre.
- Y.O.U
....and more!

3) I know many are anxious to hear who is playing Saturday night!
We apologize if all of our work seems last minute as in some sense it was. There have been many people who have worked themselves to near exhaustion to see this event come together in only FOUR WEEKS! 
Who will you see Saturday night at The Blackshire?
The following amazing, talented and lovely womyn:
- Allison Brown
- Olenka Krakus
Cailyn Fitzgerald
- Davita G
- Carole Allison
Elyse Maltin
- Kaela Stradiotto
Jennifer Roberta Moore
- "Scenery Unseen"
- "Lady O'Lakes"
Kyra Harris
Beth Prysnuk 

AND MORE!
How amazing are these womyn and how amazing will this night be?
Remember, cover is by donation and "pay what you can (PWYC)" with all proceeds benefiting SACL!

4) Rumour has it our event will be in the Free Press tomorrow with a small write up. 
Check it out!

5) Rumour also has it the the 103.1 FRESH FM van will be in attendance throughout the weekend.
I can only imagine this will make things more delightful.
Perhaps they can help us lug food around....

6) Hearts! Hearts!
Huge, massive, ever growing thanks must be publicly said to the following people.
If you have the pleasure of meeting these people, hug them....
- Lauren Muffen
- Melissa Parrott
- Sonita Bird
- Leia Rawson
- Melissa Middleton
- Gail Sands
- Michael Mullan
- Rob Nelson
- Mattie Paquiz
None of this would be possible without these amazing folk who donated so much of their time to seeing this event take place.

7) Just A Reminder!
If you are out and about this weekend and feeling thirsty, why not quench your thirst and satisfy your hungry tums at The Blackshire?
A nice portion of the bar sales will go to the Sexual Assault Centre of London.
It's possibly the easiest way you can help out that there ever was....
