One of the best parts of casseroling happens near the beginning

Most nights when we arrive at St-Denis and Jarry, if it’s close to 8pm, people are marching back and forth in crosswalks, with the light. This goes on for some time as the crowd builds up. And then, in a manner I can’t quite fathom, we take the intersection. People just walk right in and […]

Today, I’m over on First Five

I totally broke the rules too. Most people just list the first five websites they go to every day, or go back through their browser histories. I wrote an essay, I listed more than 5 websites, and they’re not exactly the first five I hit in sequence (Create Digital Music is usually read at night). […]

I know this is getting predictable, but

Here’s last night’s casseroles protest in our neighbourhood. We walked down to Beaubien last night and ran into a bunch of friends. I guess “Villeray désobéis” is the place to be. My attendance this week will be a little spotty–there’s a lot of music stuff going on with MUTEK right around 8pm, but perhaps I […]

Last Night’s Protest in Villeray

Carrie and I make a brief appearance around 1:00, along with our friends Derek and Manon and their daughter Rosalie; and Nick. We got drenched on the way home after marching for several blocks. The demo continued on to downtown.

Last Night’s March in the Neighbourhood

Carrie had her turn with the pot at this point — today I’m getting out some proper drums.

Casseroles

Carrie and I just got back from 2 and a half hours of our manif (it was still going strong). It’s the 3rd night in a row (possibly more–we were visiting friends in Westmount Saturday, a wealthy enclave that’s hostile territory for protesters). What started as a local event with hundred of people taking up […]

Manifestation de casseroles / Arrêtez-moi quelqu’un

So last night we’re sitting on the porch with friends and hear this noise. It gets louder and louder. Lots of banging. Finally we go investigate and find . . . the “Manifestation de casseroles” at the corner of Jarry and St-Denis a block away. Over 200 people gathered, making tons of noise with pots […]
