I don’t care what you think; Charo‘s greatest talent is flamenco guitar, and here is the proof. Although her ability to wear the hell out of a sequined orange pants suit should not be underestimated.

Shebeen Club Meeting: Amy Tan’s Birthday Party February 19th
Shhhh, it’s a surprise!
What: The Shebeen Club Presents: Amy Tan’s Birthday Party
When: 7:30pm-9:00pm, Tuesday, February 19th, 2008
Where: Upstairs at The Shebeen, behind The Irish Heather, 217 Carrall Street in Gastown
Why: to celebrate Amy Tan’s Birthday, duh!
Who: Contact lorraine.murphy AT gmail.com for more information
How(much)? $15 includes presentation, dinner of bangers and mash or vegetarian pasta, one celebratory beverage, and mingling.
Resurrecting the Old Skool Shebeen Club tradition of celebrating authors who are not actually present, we move up from our former practice of toasting dead celebrities and begin to celebrate the living! Amy Tan is deservedly one of the best-beloved authors on the contemporary fiction scene. February 19th is her birthday, so we have arranged a short presentation on her life and works and her (I’m sorry) don’t-quit-your-day-job rock band, the Rock Bottom Remainders. If anyone has a CD, you’re welcome to bring it!
7-7:30: meet and mingle
7:30-8: listen and learn
8-whenever: The Joy Luck Club Literary Lottery: good luck!

I won it. It’s mine. You can’t have it.
Unless you won it, too.
I have created an award just for this group of bloggers. Those who create an online magazine full of interesting and differing articles. Some original work and some work found elsewhere and given a personal spin. Bloggers who give us, not just the minutia of their day but add other content to amuse and educate us. Who trawl the world of cyberspace to bring us the best available news and information. Those bloggers who give us an online magazine – blogazine editors! Modern day Dewitt and Lila Wallaces.

Listen Up!
There are bandleaders in Brooklyn starving because of people like me. Thanks, Jack Valenti, for giving all Canadians the right to freely download music from the internet. I mean, I’ll miss the hell out of Dal Richards when he goes, but it’s him or this Slave 4 U remix, and one must have priorities!
