Imagine a magical evening of retro entertainment, silent films, circus acts, swordplay and danceŠ in a magnificent restored theatre. Inspired by turn-of-the-century variety-show entertainment, Le Boudoir echoes an artistic period of innovation and subversion in an historic, glamorous environment. A mainstay of the underground cultural scene, Montreal's hottest sapphic event has been dazzling audiences for 12 years.
Created by Miriam Ginestier, the evening is hosted by Nathalie Claude and accompanied on the piano by Mimi Blais. ( Read more... )

My family will have owned a total of 2 TVs

the 1st was purchased in '84 so my sister could watch the Calgary Olympics. The thing could only handle up to 2 digits channels. Not an issue considering we only had basic cable.

In '97 it was moved into my mother's bedroom to entertain her between cancer treatments. My father's mid-life crisis bought a (for the time) huge Sony. When I moved back to Canada in '01 I was the one in my nuclear family on the continent so the Sony was shipped over to my place. I only had cable for the 2 month free trials Rogers gave me every other year.
This afternoon I called on an amazingly strong femme to help me move the incredibly heavy thing. I donated it to the 519 and hope it can find usage in the newly constructed wing*. My living room seems a lot more spacious!

note: for those who enjoyed the original Mario marathon at my last party, Mario will now be a LOT bigger thanks to my LCD projector :p
*Anyone planning on being at the official opening tonight?
