Lance Eckensweiler who records and performs under the name "The Ending To This Story" is a really skilled guitar player and singer and he is exceptionally skilled with a looping pedal, so that even his solo acoustic performances end up sounding like a full band. The Ending To This Story is in essence a one man band and he has recorded one full length album of original material that bends a bit between acoustic rock and progressive rock.
I would argue that on any list of "Most Canadian" things to do, skating outdoors on some frozen body of water should definitely be included. From the famous Rideau Canal in Ottawa, to countless frozen ponds from coast to coast, the image of Canadian winters almost always includes an image of someone skating and often playing hockey. Of course this is an image that for many Canadians is simply a romantic ideal and the truth of the matter is that (especially with the mild winter we've been experiencing this year) most skating takes place in a very controlled environment: an arena, a rink, a skating path. I found an exception to this here in Hamilton!

Who should go If you like a bit of angst in your tea. If you aren't afraid of a little dissonance and music that's far away from the mainstream. If you're comfortable in a smaller unlicenced venue. This is a queer/trans/femme identifying friendly event so you should feel especially welcome if you identify as such. Why should I go?
