Don't drop dead!

Hello everybody,

This heat is really annoying me. But then everytime I start to get irritable I think about the millions of people in the world living in excessive heat all of the time, with a scarcity of water, and I feel ashamed of myself. I guess it really is all relative.

I just wanted to thank those of you came to my show at Cameron House with Sara Kamin. It was nice to be back on stage again after such a long time away. I have a last-minute performance to announce taking place tomorrow evening, Thursday July 14th at Degrassi House. I'll be doing a 40-minute set and will be opening the night for two bands, Plajia and Little Sunday. Details are below.

Please be careful in this weather. Going for jogs in 40 degree heat is not a show of strength and discipline, it's just dumb. Stats say you are 90% more likely to drop dead (blunt but true) from overexertion on days like these, due to accelerated dehydration which throws electrolytes out of balance and can quickly lead to heatstroke or cardiac arrest in a perfectly healthy person. So be safe and drink lots of liquids. (Can you drink anything else???) We all want to live to see the leaves change colours and feel the nice cool breeze of autumn!

Peace&Love, Tanisha

Moi Thurs. July 14th Degrassi House (formerly Oasis Pub) 780 Queen St. E. Show starts at 9pm.
