Cycles of work, event, and eat/sleep

Updated: April 13, 2009

It's been a great year going to events, meeting you and making new friends. But our careers are keeping us busy and we won't be able to keep up with the demands to keep up with the event alerts. We will post our reviews when we have a chance from time to time.

Please see right panel for sites we check for unique and fun events from less well-known organizations. See you there -- and don't forget to say hi

Love, peace and music, Jade & CHRIS - )

Dr. Draw @ Taste of Danforth (Aug 10, 2008)

Event: Dr. Draw @ Taste of Danforth
Cost: Free
Pre-event estimate: 4 out of 5
Post-event rating: 4 out of 5

We first heard of Dr. Draw's performance at Taste of Italy in 2007. We were initially attracted by his virtuosic performance, and were mesmerized by the unusual twist of classical music. (Jade: And yes, I love violinists!!). We became part of the growing number of fans who follow him and his band in every single street festival.

But Dr. Draw is more than a pretty face. At Taste of Danforth, he experience some technical difficulties with the sound system (probably due to the rain). The band improvised for 10 minutes while he and the crew worked feverishly to fix the problem. And he would rather stopped and switched the violin than to continue playing on a slightly out-of-tune violin. He and his group strive for quality performance, whether it is in the Music Hall on Danforth, or on stage at a street festival. You can tell the crowd really appreciates it!

Don't miss out his performance at the Buskerfest (Aug 21-24)!
