balaclava liquidation for charity!

friends,

some of you may have seen the video we made for "back in your head". in the video we had all the amazing and generous audience members wear get-ups that included sweat pants, long sleeve shirts and woolly balaclavas. did i mention it was a sweltering june day and we were in a theatre with no air conditioning!? we truly loved the experience, and were thrilled by the way the video turned out.

we had 140 of the woolly balaclavas left and we have been thinking about what to "do" with them ever since. SO, we've had some commemorative embroidery added (includes the text "back in your head 2007") and all the money raised from the sale will be donated in FULL to Project 10.

project 10 is an organization in montreal quebec. they work to promote the personal, social, sexual and mental well being of LGBTTIIQ youth!! project 10 has all kinds of amazing services like a listening line, a drop-in centre, on-line support, a summer camp, counseling...with all services offered in French and English!!

it is staffed and run by a wonderful, hard working team who, like most all community organizations, struggle to make ends meet.

LGBTTIIQ youth continue to face issues such as suicide, isolation, homelessness and lack of access to the proper resources for health and wellness.

P10 needs your help to ensure that it will be able to continue to offer these support services to LGBTTIIQ youth.

ALL the proceeds we raise from the balaclavas will go to project 10 !

we encourage you to donate more to project 10 through their website or myspace page if you can as every little bit helps.

if you are interested in seeing the balaclavas and purchasing one, you just have to go to...

we are just taking paypal for now, but if you are desperate to have one and can only pay by money order, email backinyourbalaclava@gmail.com and state your case. but act quick cause these will sell out fast!

one final note: i wanted to say thank you again to everyone who purchased a copy of "the con demos" on our last tour in the USA. we raised 15, 000 dollars for the Music BC Burt Harris Memorial Scholarship. we're so proud of you, your purchases are really helping a lot of people.

thanks for listening and supporting!

be well friends!
