The Ice Storm: Quebec, 1998
From tigressemimi:
I made this video with Windows movie maker. This video is a presentation of photos pulled by the album of the ice storm of quebec in 1998. This storm was terrible. We must be evacuated because it was too much cold and too dangerous. We did not have electricity anymore and all the shops were closed. The food became rare. I remember that we had to put our food to the garbage because the fridge and the freezer did not work any more. It was the hell. it fell 100 mm of ice there. To show you the extent of damages, here is some figures:
700 municipalities affected
up to 7,000 cords of wood distributed each day (firewood)
more than 60,000 meals a day served in shelters
more than 16,000 wooden poles damaged
approximately 3,312,600 litres of milk discarded
more than 3,000 pylons downed or irreparably damaged
telephone service cut off to more than 158,500 customers
approximately 1.7 million hectares of forest damaged
so you understand now what i say… but one thing was very nice… SCHOOL WAS CLOSED lol please leave your comment i'll be very happy ^^

Just what it says. There are breathalyzers and bartenders who will tell you when you're too drunk to drive, but until now there has been nothing for the solitary cyberboozer. Save yourself from the frantic and morbid morning-after cache-surfing oh god, what did I post…oh god, what did I post…with this quick and easy online test.

Shebeen Club: Thundering Fundraiser June 20
cross-posted from The Shebeen Club Blog
Because braindead Spamcop has put every single Gmail address on their spam list. Of course they did this the very day before my email announcing this month’s meeting went out. May I just say that (pauses dramatically and runs off to look up something truly evisceratory in The Book of Insults)
With the single exception of Homer, there is no eminent spamkilling service, not even Sir Walter Scott, whom I can despise so entirely as I despise Spamcop when I measure my mind against theirs. The intensity of my impatience with them occasionally reaches such a pitch, that it would positively be a relief to me to fly down to Bakersfield or whatever godforsaken strip mall they are located in and throw stones at them, knowing as I do how incapable they and their clients are of understanding any less obvious form of indignity.
Bernard Shaw, on Shakespeare, and ever-so-slightly paraphrased.
In any case, here’s the announcement. I’m going to hold it here for several days, just to make sure word gets out. Please pass the info along as best you can; obviously, I’m stuck not doing that. Very annoying.
For immediate release: post/forward at will!
Who: The Shebeen Club presents Vancouver Spoken Word Performers tk (if you want to be a performer, email me!)
What: Thundering Fundraiser for T Paul Ste. Marie!
When: 7-10 pm Tuesday, June 20th, 2006 (3rd Tuesday of each month)
Meet & Mingle 7-7:30
Listen & Learn 7:30-8
Poetry Slam Dancing and other Tipsy Cultural Mashups 8-10
Where: The Shebeen, behind the Irish Heather, 217 Carrall
Why: Because Vancouver’s proudly homegrown talent regularly beats the best in the world. Because that talent grew in an environment pioneered by T Paul, founder of Thundering Word Heard. And because T Paul recently suffered a brain aneurysm and needs a helping hand rent-wise, there being little in the way of pensions and sick leave for Entrepreneurs of the Word, Spoken or Otherwise.
How (much)? $15 before June 16th, $20 thereafter, includes dinner
All profits for the evening will be donated to the T Paul fund.
Instead of our usual door prizes, we will do a T Paul 50/50 draw.
Reservations and media inquiries: lorrainedotmurphyatgmaildotcom
New Format: Our new, lower admission price includes your choice of bangers and mash or vegetarian pasta, plus a glass of beer or wine.
Shebeen Club Full Background Disclosure: here
Bio: Our Spoken Word presenters are TBA and TK, but I guarantee you they will kick posterior to a TKO. As for our honoree, let’s go to the interview with Pandora’s Collective here
T Paul says he started Thundering Word Heard with the idea that he wanted to create a place where both music and spoken word could come together and be given a place that was their own. And he has done just that. After three years the room is still full every Sunday night even on a long weekend. It takes a lot of time, commitment and a big heart to keep putting on something like this every single week. But it has paid off. Thundering Word continues to be a great success and T Paul’s reputation as a host and organizer continues to grow as well.
“ I have my hands in a million and one things that all seem to have the center in that hub Thundering Word Heard.”
