I'll be playing in Toronto at the Bluebird North show on September 23.
Ex Glass Tiger and Sanctuary artist and writer Sam Reid is producing the show.

Here's how they work - The concept and more...
Port A Cool is not a Swamp Cooler
But wait, there's more... the MasterCool for your roof and something for your
Cigars.
Why are we still using CFC's?
