Dear Carnie Fans,<\/p>\n

What does summer and The Carnival Band have in common?
We both just wont quit!
(hilarious)<\/p>\n

We have two epic gigs this weekend

Gig the First:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Home for the Games Fundraiser<\/strong>
When: Friday, September 25th<\/strong> – Doors at 8:00pm
Where: Waldorf Hotel<\/strong> (1489 Hastings Street E.)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Join Knifey Spoony<\/strong>, Sambata<\/strong> and The Carnival Band<\/strong> in a fundraiser for Home for the Games<\/a>. There is also human-head whack-a-mole for whack-happy among us.<\/p>\n

All proceeds from this concert will go to Home for the Games, a non-profit organization seeking to harness the excitement of the Olympics and channel it towards those who need it most. Home for the Games is website that matches homeowners wanting to rent their rooms or houses out to Olympic visitors. The homeowner sets the price of their accommodation, and then donates a minimum of 50% of the money they earn to a trust fund that will be split between two housing charities on the Downtown Eastside<\/strong>: StreetoHome<\/strong> and Covenant House<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Gig the Second:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Boston or Bust Fundraiser<\/strong>
When: Sunday, September 27th 11:00am till the wee hours of the morning<\/strong>
Where: Vancouver Art Gallery<\/strong> (Robson Street)<\/p>\n

On October 8th, The Carnival Band is travelling to Boston, MA to take part in HONK Fest<\/a>, a festival celebrating street band culture. Imagine, The Carnival Band honking and frolicking with 26 bands much like us! It is as crazy and as magical and you might expect. Help us pay for our passage to Boston by dropping by The Vancouver Art Galley<\/strong> and tossing some cash our way. We’re playing until we get enough to go, so if you want us to shut it – it’ll cost ya!!<\/p>\n
