Still wondering if anything will ever be that good again after the Foo Fighters last night. I’ve been singing their songs nonstop, which has been wildly distracting, TBH. But I’ll try to pull myself together long enough to write this email.

Now, one for my fellow Halloween lovers: follow a lamplight into Gastown’s gruesome past as tales of fire, smallpox and murder emerge from the shadows. Feeling brave? Enter to win tickets to The Lost Souls of Gastown Tour before the giveaway vanishes on 10/6! Get on it, ghouls.*
