Hello Kitsilano artists in residence!

"The month of May is Asian Heritage Month. This month is an
opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the rich history of Asian
Canadians and their contributions to our country. Since its inception
in Toronto in 1993, cities across Canada including Montreal, Ottawa and
Vancouver have been holding annual festivities to recognize Asian
Heritage Month.

CBC invites you to take part in events that commemorate Asian
Canadian history and to reflect on the vital social, cultural, economic
and political legacies of communities that continue to shape Canada."

About Engineers Without Borders: For the 800 million people who go hungry each day and the one billion who lack access to clean water, poverty is an absence of opportunity.

Engineers Without Borders responds to this need, helping people in developing communities gain access to technologies that will improve their lives. We believe that technology, when appropriately incorporated into each community's social, cultural, economic and political context, can drive extraordinary change.

We first met a member of this band at Art school (Emily Carr). This  band is electrifying on stage and aesthetically pleasing like a fashion turn-table remix of 80's and 90's "Degrassi" . They are playing Monday night March 10th at the Monk and here's a message they wanted me to pass on to the community:

"Trike is going on tour for three months to Europe (perhapslonger)!!! So we have planned our last bash before we depart. 

Trike (www.myspace.com/trikeaband) plays with Maria In theShower (www.myspace.com/mariaintheshower) and a groovy trip-hop band (will providedetails soon)

We will also screen our new music video directed by SteveSchinnerer: LET'S JOG!

2 degrees of Fear and Desire is theatre without
a play – just us and our fears, desires, and challenges facing global
warming. Facilitated, or joked, by Headlines Theatre’s David Diamond,
the audience is invited to use theatre techniques to delve deep into
their community’s and their own experiences, to turn the spotlight away
from the spectacle of environmental devastation and shine it in the
mirror.

Arts in the City, Arts in the Sanctuary is a mezzanine or cross-roads where church and community can share a common enjoyment of creativity and the arts. 

 The art show goes on from February 15th to the 23rd. Local musicians Tarkin, James Lamb and Adam Thomas Trio will be performing on the night of the 23rd. All three musical acts have played at the Wired Monk at one point or another but never on the same night. There's no doubt that this night will be a dynamic blend - from bluegrass to indy folk to jazz. Wow.
