EDMONTON JOURNAL STILL SPONSORS THE UNKNOWN STUDIO
=====================================================

It’s true! After so much joking and tongue-in-cheek referrals to Edmonton’s newspaper of record on our show, the Edmonton Journal decided to put their money where our mouths are, by sponsoring the Unknown Studio this month!

We’re helping EJ to promote their Blackberry mobile launcher. You can check it out by clicking here on your Blackberry browser. If you have any comments about the mobile launcher or the Journal’s mobile site, let us know and we’ll pass it along!

That’s right friends, we want Edmontonians — ALL OF YOU — to come down to the Artery tonight, whip out your junk, and trade it for other people’s junk. It’s the first annual YEG Swap, after all!

I know what you’re thinking — no seriously, I took psychology in university, so obviously I know these things; you’re thinking this is a long sentence, and you’d be right; it’s impossibly long and you’re really dying for something that’s, well, EXCITING: like an exclamation point!

Phew, I’m glad that’s over.

You’re also thinking you don’t just want to trade junk, or you don’t have any junk to trade. So what?! Come anyway, because for $2 you get to hear some of the best up-and-coming bands in Edmonton, including Lyra Brown, the Mystery Ponies, and The Joe. We’ll have bands, a swap meet, drinks, and some of Edmonton’s most fantastic and exciting people! You should be there. Read the rest of this entry »
