I know this has nothing to do with "border culture" but it does have something to do with our class, sort of...
I've been interning at the Windsor Star for the past week so I've been oddly in touch (more than normal for me who manages to live in my own little "student" bubble) with whats going on in Windsor these days.
Anyways, I thought I should point out that Tom Lucier's Phog Lounge was voted #1 live music venue in Canada in a CBC Radio 3 contest today, beating out 100 other venues. I thought it was interesting because I was in the newsroom when one of the reporters read it on Twitter (a new phenomenon I still don't think I really get). Anyway, seeing as how he is giving us a talk tomorrow in class I thought it might be good if we all knew and maybe congratulated him. I promise I'll post something relevant asap.
