A HUGE thank you to everyone who joined me, Michael Barclay and Ian Jack at the Have Not Been The Same re-launch party at Lee’s Palace in Toronto on June 10. It was a fantastic turnout, and the music was outstanding. Extra special thanks again to Amy Hersenhoren and the rest of the Lee’s staff, and to the artists who performed: Kevin Kane and his band, the briefly re-formed Weeping Tile, and King Cobb Steelie. We raised a substantial amount of money for the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health Foundation, and we continue to encourage donations at www.supportcamh.ca/donations.
