Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is
There’s not much to report lately on The Last Pogo Jumps Again: A Biased & Incomplete History Of Toronto Punk Rock Circa September 24 1976 To December 1 1978 — except that we’re getting busier editing, and on the prowl for more photos and handbills and buttons, oh my. If ya got stuff, it has to be 300 dpi, and the more the merrier. Make sure you either have the rights, or can lead us to where we might find them.
But as important as this project might be, it obviously pales in comparison to the troubles in Haiti. So a bit of a shout-out to all of our pals — help them out. And for all of our film buddies, there’s a new Facebook site called Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is that’s directed at film and TV productions. We’re urging them to give up “craft service” for a day, and donate the money to Doctors Without Borders, The Red Cross, and the Humanitarian Coalition instead. So far the kid’s action TV series Connor Undercover is on board, and next Thursday the cast and crew will give up their constant stream of croissants, cappuccinos and cheese trays, charge PWYC for coffee — and see how much money we can send to our brothers and sisters in Haiti. So, if you’re in the biz, check out the link Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is and let’s see what we can do to make a difference.
