Oh the joy of my soul, it is uncaged.

Nope its not a mistype, there will indeed be a punk and rap show at EMPOWERMENT.

Oh the joy of my soul, it is uncaged.

@ EMPOWERMENT

Submitted by Mike McGregor on March 6, 2008 - 3:48pm.

If anyone is planning to go to any of the events at "EMPOWERMENT" but dosn't know where it's located, it's at 636 Queens Ave (just east of Adeilade, so you'll have to get on Queens from Elizabeth st.) on the north side. There's lots of parking in the city lot directally across the street. The lot can also be accessed via the driveway off Adelade right beside Banting house, just befor the lights at Dundas St.

perhaps start a group?

Submitted by Trev McNaughton (not verified) on March 5, 2008 - 1:50am.

It might be a good idea to start a group called "londons first annual week against war", and post the events in the group (but display them publically). That way others could join the group, post on these and other things relating to events.. as well as help organize..

cuz dat'd be sw33t!!!!!!!!!!!11

these are great suggestions, sorry if the way i posted it was awkward or inefficient, just wasn't sure how else to do it and wanted to get it up on the site.

Oh the joy of my soul, it is uncaged.

also can i go back and edit events and get rid of my big homologous week of events posting??

Oh the joy of my soul, it is uncaged.

separate events

Submitted by Jeremy McNaughton on March 5, 2008 - 1:43am.

Although it would have been more work, it probably would be easier for users to find out information about any one of these events if they were posted to the calendar separately. Just a suggestion.
