revised_july_4th_web_309 It's time for TWM 19 this week! The teens have been a glorious and exciting time for the TWM series but we bid them farewell with the live return from one of my favourite local bands the Craft Economy. They've been hibernating for some time now so expect them to return to the stage with vigour on Friday night. Joining them are Karma Controllers, and the Dress Whites.

Saturday sees Vancouver's Language Arts playing a tour stop for TWM along with The Champion Heartache, North Amorica, and Alphabot. Do yourself a favour and check out Language Arts because they won't be in this area all that often and you don't want to miss it.

Keep an eye out for some sort of return from the photograph section. It wasn't programmed perfectly so we've had constant kinks to work out but we are going to find a way to bring it back and hopefully have it better than ever!
