Damn, what a sweet space, I’m fully green with envy. Congratulations Mike, great things can only come out of your new mission. Build a bar up in there and I may just move to T.O. and make it my new permanent work space. I can’t believe that there is as dismal a selection of affordable rental houses out there as there is here in Vancouver. Weird. I guess I just assumed y’all had one on every other corner. I wish I could lend a hand with the reno, but in lieu thereof I’ll be calling some friends on your side of the prairies. This is how the revolution starts, one black box at a time…

I am sooo excited by this opportunity! You have really inspired me:) I will be in touch with dates and times I’m available. Uniting artists in this tangible way can only reap wonderous artistic rewards. Free space is an amazing offer.

thanks for the kind words scott. i am a firm believer in the pooling of resources. the economics of downtown real estate might be an interesting spinoff from the previous discussion.

bottom line: this shit only breaks even when every square inch is used by someone all the time.

That's wicked Mike. Great idea. Count me in. I'll call you to set up my labour days and discuss compensation details.

Cheers,

Ian

This is a great idea — cooperation rather than competition, the pooling of resources and the contribution of service. I wish you the very best of luck. If I were in Toronto, I would definitely contribute my time and energy. There are so few theatres who actually ask for help.
