The staff and DJs of the Empress Ale House, all of whom unanimously left in protest over the majority shareholder firing of part-owner/manager Sue Kiernan, gather together to watch a support concert featuring Falklands, Dirty Dudes, Pot Cop, Paul Coutts + Cowls and others.

This week's SEEN and a warm and inspiring show of individual action creating a warm whole. Wait, that sounds dirty!

A still from The High Level Bridge, a Trevor Anderson short film currently on the circuit. I carried around a Sony HD Webbie for a couple months, ultimately dropped off the bridge in a metaphorical suicide gesture that still gives me goosebumps. Want to know how long it takes? Watch the film.

THLB is playing at TIFF this month, the Atlantic Film Fest in Halifax Sept. 19 and Edmonton's fest at the end of the month!

Lily Fawn tries her solo thing out at ARTery in Edmonton following a tornado summer. This was a SEEN pic, much prettier here in its original minty dignity.
