Kick off mercury retrograde at Linux Caffe! A perfect time to relax and reflect on life, DJ Tim Dee sets up a nice vibe with some of the finest deep house music on the planet.

May 22

Artist name: Benjamin Raphael Reed

Genre: Absurdist Folk/Rock

Website link: www.myspace.com/dinosaurcream

About the artist: A nice young man with an endearing and flexible voice. Sings about
grasshoppers, rhinos, penises & peepees. His guitar-playing will wow
you... his keyboard-tickling will PLOW you. Childish nonsense is his
sole stylistic staple. Is especially proud of the time he opened for
Calvin Johnson at the Music Gallery.

Suzy Wilde & Ben Whiteley cannot make it this Monday, however they have handpicked some fine musicians to "sub in" for them! We are pleased to welcome Meredith Jordan in her linuxcaffe debut. Also, Jaron might do a little set too. We reckon it'll be a good night!

UPDATE; the event was a blast !
The gathering was stimulating, dynamic and well organized , and CSI was the perfect venue. It was so much fun, linuxcaffe is hosting a follow up evening, this coming Wednesday June 11th. No advance booking required, no fees, but an opportunity to pick up the conversation and have a refeshing something.

In the spirit of Open, and in the form of bar-camp, the Shuttleworth Foundation and the Centre for Social Innovation are hosting OpenEverything

There's only room for 60 participants, and the registration of $40 includes coffee, snacks, a hot meal and ideas that will change the world.

Enthusiasts of this functional programming language are getting together to tak about LISP stuff and the state of the industry.

All we know is that we like his sound, and he'll be here Thursday night.

Innovative, co-operative and linux-friendly ISP Wireless Nomad meets at linuxcaffe on the evening of the second Wednesday of the month.

June 18: Born and raised in Whycocomagh, Nova Scotia, Ralph is a Cape Bretoner through and through. He maintains a keen passion for music and entertaining the public. His family also has a love for writing and playing music and it was that influence that first got Ralph interested in writing poetry and eventually songs. Kitchen parties have always been a tradition of Cape Breton Island and it was during those evenings that his passion for entertaining began to come alive.

Summer Solstice is just a few days away. Come on out the Linux Caffe and enjoy soulful, deep house music. Brought to you, with love, by DJ Tim Dee.

"All this machinery making modern music can still be open-hearted." (Neal Peart)

Yakoba first picked up a super-shitty green, warped-ass guitar at 18. Oddly enough, he wrote song lyrics and harmonies long before that memorable purchase. Hence, he has always considered himself more of a lyricist/singer with an educational message to convey, than a guitar virtuoso. Luckily, he kept the receipt from the warped guitar and was able to purchase 'The Traveler' - his Korean Cort Earth 100 acoustic by paying the Niagara dealer an extra 100$ CDN.
