Thursday, May 28: Joanne Arnott (Mother Time) is participating in a big reading & launch at Cafe Montmartre, 4362 Main St., Vancouver. Trevor Carolan and John Carroll will both read as well. Cafe Montmartre is about the mellowest arts scene in town nowadays. Great neighbourhood, good food & drink, modest prices, and a decent stage. Sanja Garic Komnenic, who writes for Pacific Rim Review of Books, will host and launch the new edition, #11, as well.
Following the readings the Main Street Songwriters Circle will take the stage with their Nu-Folk scene. It’s a big night coming up.
(Thanks to Erin Carolan for this message.)

Congratulations to Norma Charles and Luanne Armstrong! The Girl in the Backseat and Pete’s Gold have been short listed for BC’s Chocolate Lily Awards for 2009-10.
