I just bought the Custom Closet Kit at Canadian Tire. So Clearly this day has been brought to you by the hard C sound.

The good folks at Copycamp sent me an email to clarify the pricing structure for the conference.

Far be it for me to scandal-monger so here is the real deal with pricing for Copycamp.

One thing I want to clarify- $495 isn’t the price if you apply for a bursary. The price if you get a bursary is (in most cases) free. $495 is the early-registration price for people who pay their own way.

We’re inviting a lot of different groups to this event who have different financial means and resources. Our hope is to charge the people who can really afford to come (lawyers, bureaucrats, people representing large organizations) and use that money to make the event free for a bunch of other people (artists mostly) who we really want there and for whom we understand that price to be prohibitive. If our budgets work out as we hope, the free spots will likely outnumber the paid spots.

• They are both Queer
• They both were huge fans of the Parachute Club album Small Victories. (Only one of them wrote and sang the music, while the other just listened to the cassette while walking home from grade 3)
• They were both at the Ontario Place stage the summer of 1985 except Gowan's set was long and Miriam had to go home to bed before the Parachute Club really got into their groove.
• According to an email sent to me by Copycamp we're both interested in attending this university sponsored 'unconference' that costs like $700 unless I am applying for a bursary then it's only $495.
