a month ago it popped into my head to organize an event for movember (a month wear men raise awareness, and money, for prostate cancer, by growing their moustaches). all of my constant phone calls and emails and worries actualized into a really successful event this past saturday! i was so happy and so lucky for everything to just fall into place the way it did. i found 16 local artists to create moustache themed artwork for the evening, accompanied by music from djs: kekus and ledisko as well as very talented bands montoire and golden isles. nick even made some moustache pins and moustache skewers (sprayed with some marc jacobs, in case you were wondering why they smelled so nice) for the photobooth corner we set up. ill post what i came up with, for this event called “dapper dan”, in a minute. there was some frustrating things happening with the venue owner, but despite those money issues and the expenses- 400$ was raised for prostate cancer!

montoire‘s music was sent to me via this julien vallee video. this very video being popular in the blogosphere, it has also gained its attention in the real world. it has been selected to be shown in different music festivals in europe over the summer like leeds and reading fest, v fest, isle of wight, etc. the band made it explicit to me that they are often mistaken for being a parisian stroke of creativity, when in fact they are from montreal and want people to know it! actually it is currently 2:22am, and there couldnt be better music to listen to right now.
