Two VERY big events this week...the very first Polaris Record Salon in Vancouver happened at the Waldorf ft. Dan Mangan's "Oh Fortune" with yours truly as a host. THANK YOU to everyone that came out! The next salon will feature The Pack A.D.'s Unpersons on Dec 13th. -- Next was the much anticipated and sold out finale for the Peak Performance Project where The Matinee, Current Swell, and The Boom Booms performed and were awarded 3rd, 2nd and 1st, not to mention a LOT of money. Check out the photos below to see who won what and some shots from the night!
