Distillery Jazz Festival

The annual Distillery Jazz Festival, hosted at the ole Distillery District in Toronto, runs from May 20th to 30th. Some of the acts coming out for the festival include: the Shuffle Demons (I can't believe they're still playing) -- and they will be holding their "Reunion Tour - World Record Attempt at Dundas Square on May 30th; Shurum Burum Jazz Circus, and a whole lot more acts. There are a few I want to check out. The shows run all day during the weekends -- free of charge, as well as at night during the week and on weekends, but with a $30 cover charge at the door. The full program can be obtained here [PDF]. If you've got some spare time, they're also looking for volunteers -- and it doesn't look like it's too late to apply!

In an act of desperation, Tim DeCristopher chose civil disobedience to disrupt the bidding process that saw 149,000 acres of public land leased off to oil companies in Utah.

It is one of the final sell-off by the dying Bush administration. DeCristopher showed at the auction, registered as a bidder, and started bidding -- and winning -- with no intention of purchasing or paying for the auctions he won. Way to go dude! You're a hero!
