Here’s another reminder about the Work Less Party PARTY happening this Saturday, June 6th at 9pm at the Japanese Hall (487 Alexander). Not only is there the usual menu of body art, dream scenes, and terrific music (including Five Alarm Funk, Orkestar Slivovica, and yours truly), but there’s also a new tea garden installation on the rooftop! Details here – hope to see you there!
And for those of you interested in joining us on a sea cruise, come to the Sunshine Coast for the Gibson’s Jazz Fest on Saturday, June 13th. We’ll be playing at 4:30 in Dougal Park, in between a dozen or so other great acts. Look out for impromptu jams on the ferry as well. More info at http://www.coastjazz.com/
