Secret Society

In a beautiful place out in the country

In a few scant hours, Secret Society's 2011 Canadian Incursion officially begins. Our schedule is, as they say up North, jam-packed, but  I will do my best to post updates and incriminating evidence here.

You can also follow our progress on Twitter -- on my own feed as well as those of my co-conspirators Rob Wilkerson (oops -- originally linked to the wrong Rob Wilkerson, fixed now), Josh Sinton, and James Hirschfeld.

Thanks to those who came to this awesome double-bill. As mentioned, this was our last NYC hit until Brooklyn Babylon opens at BAM in November -- but meanwhile, we are all very excited about our first-ever Canadian tour at the end of the month.

Finally, while I've been more than a little distraught about the utterly appalling and shameful riot that has blemished my hometown, I'm also encouraged by the way decent, civic-minded Vancouverites have come together to clean up in the aftermath, and inspired by the stories of brave individuals, like this dude, willing to stand up to the mob.
