I recently heard from Dawn about a new DJ-for-hire gig, steady work Monday to Wednesday 9PM-2AM. She couldn't do it, but knowing that I know people with the skills, she figured I might be able to find someone interested in taking a steady gig.
The (potential) downside? It's in Maple Ridge. Bit of a commute for most of those I know. Even so, I

So, as of today, we sent 7 boxes and one suitcase of stuff from our apartment to Toronto, payment on delivery. (whew.) As of the same day vannsplace left town, leaving us the rest of the gear to do with as we would.

First off, I'd like to apologize to you my readers, for not having updated in such a long time. I have had some free time since the last update, work hasn't been *that* crushing -- and yet, I've not often felt able of forming a coherent paragraph, even on a free day.
