I Believe I Can Rhyme

If you weren’t at the Smiling Buddha Bar this past Thursday, you missed something pretty special. A nice guy named Jay organized an evening called I Believe I Can Rhyme. David Topping over at Torontoist wrote about it, and I showed up at the event expecting a simple screening of Trapped in the Closet. I […]

People collide, buildings collapse

CBC Radio Overnight all weekend?

Why, when I visit the CBC Radio portal page on Sunday evening, does it think that CBC Radio Overnight is playing in all time zones?
