Hey guys! Here’s the stuff I pulled out of my camera from the Subtext Multi-Arts Festival (not all are up yet…my home internet is way to slow at doing this. So check back under Pics &Vids).  It was a 2 day event on Saturday, September 11 and Sunday, September 12, 2010 under the Lawrence Avenue East bridge which separate Orton Park and Galloway. It was my first time there (not including other visits to the other side of Morningside Park) and it was a blast! Thank you to everyone for coming out and being a part of this large success.

Like me, if you thought this event was a big success please contact Karin Eaton from Mural Routes or Ben Lopes from Scarborough Arts Council to see how we could do it again next year to paint up the other side of the bridge! They have been working diligently on this project before anyone knew it was even called “Subtext” and they are really awesome people too. Give them your thanks and support! The number is 416-698-7322 or email programs@scarborougharts.com (Ben) or karin@muralroutes.com (Karin).

If you have other pictures of Subtext, I would love to put them up here to share with everyone! Please send them in and we could have a community/Subtext photo share! You could email them to me at ynnejfabico@hotmail.com and I will make sure to post them for you continuously as they pool in. Congratulations to all who were involved! It has been a summer to remember forever in the best way possible. Much love and respect to all of you! Peace out and enjoy the pictures! -JFab

Hey guys! Congratulations on your launch party! I saw so many of you guys out (under and over the bridge). Some came at 10:30 like Aisha and some were there until the very end at 5 like Taije. I have a whole bunch of pictures. And as always… give me a while, perhaps Tuesday to put them up. I will also be posting them on facebook for those who have me on their list. Tag yourselves in the pictures: there are so many of you! Hahaha. Yesterday was a blast and it was a beautiful wrap up to everything. We had performances by so many people, including our very own TBMT-ers! That was awesome for sure –probably my favourite part of the day! Congratulations guys!

If you enjoyed TBMT this year, we are hoping you will keep in touch and be with us again next year! What an amazing project and the turn out was even greater than years before! Applauses to everyone! Enjoy your CDs and THANK YOU for signing all of our stuff yesterday! They are finding homes at Beatz 2 Da Streetz, Scarborough Arts Council, myself and an extra one, probably be for our funders.

If you haven’t picked up your package, please let me know. There aren’t many people who haven’t but yeah. Talk to me tomorrow (Monday) please and thank you. Enjoy the tracks and stay tuned for the CDs! Subtext still runs today from 10-4. I won’t be there but I am gunna try to sneak out of my stuff early so I can make it down. So you might see me if the plan works! Hah!

Yes! Finally, we have all the pictures and videos up…GO CHECK THEM OUT and get pumped for the Subtext Festival! It’ll be AMAZING! Check us out on facebook on our fan page to get a sneak peek preview to the songs! So much to do, check it out!

Want to have a listen to the TBMT tracks? Well, you’re just going to have to visit our Borough Most Thorough tracks. Check it out for some teasers… of course we won’t put all of them up before Subtext! But it’s pretty awesome! Enjoy the tracks!
