It's the Pork in Strange Shorts Holiday Shindig

December 18th, 2006 found us celebrating with our friends at Bookshorts.com, Pork Belly Futures, and a hundred others at the Gladstone Hotel in Toronto.

To help keep the blues away, we had plenty of games, prizes and held a blues writing competition. The best verses were sung on stage by Paul Quarrington and his band, to tremendous applause.

Watch the video below of the song created by our guests called "The Canadian Blues" and see what Canadians are complaining about.
