We had so much fun with the crew of Memewar magazine at their last release party that they invited us back.Here’s it’s poster:

As you can see, once again it’s at the Railway Club (579 Dunsmuir Street at Seymour, upstairs), and we’re being joined by readings from the magazine (and its “Gods and Idols” theme) from C.J. Leon, Rhoda Hodjati and Tony Power and music from Wintermitts and Victoria’s Ballgag ‘n Chain Gang… and something involving the Vancouver Cantata Singers.  Admission gets you a copy of the magazine (it’s a great business model — each party’s cover pays for the subsequent issue, whose release party pays for the subsequent issue… and so forth).

Next up we’ve got a private engagement on the 27th (then see how fast we can peel off to catch Geoff Berner’s CD launch at the Biltmore!), but stay tuned for another Planky evening at Cafe Montmartre Saturday February 28th!

And here we were!
