Also,...
Habitat for Humanity House concert series

September 26, 2011 by The Boom Booms
We write this from the Boom Boom office in East-Van on a typical Vancouver day, surmised so succinct by our mentor’s ‘Doug and the slugs,’ as ‘…a tropical rainstorm in the lower mainland.’ Feels like a good social media day we decided. So fall news. Well the latest news being we were voted by Georgia straight readers...
