mayday @ cafe may. a spectacular selection of toronto's songwriting community gathered on one little red stage for one helluva musical celebration. a stellar line up, not to be repeated, showed up in highly entertaining support of local goodness. a magical evening as well as a renofit for the upgrading and promotion of the west end sweet spot cafe may. please go and visit. go soon, go often. and thanks, eh? cafe may.

thank you to every-buddy... xcarolyn victoria mill
