Danger: Power Down In Progress

After school last Tuesday, I headed down to the Drake Hotel for the Deep Wireless artists' reception. The artists-in-residence introduced themselves and talked a bit about their contribution to this year's festival.

I'm especially looking forward to the Power Down performances scheduled this month:

May 3 to 28, various times
Power Down performances
curated by John Oswald
free
@ Drake Hotel + weekly radio broadcasts on CKLN-FM every Thursday at 2 PM

Radio without electricity! Well, almost. About once every second day the Drake Hotel will unexpectedly turn off the music in the restaurant, cafe or other locations and transform itself into an Avant Garde Irish Pub with singers, acoustic musicians, and battery powered radio artists curated and directed by John Oswald. Hang around the Drake and re-live the unexpected perks of the 2003 blackout!
