Hey, UVic is back open for business today (Wed) . . . although the Fine Arts coffee shop is still closed (sigh), so better grab a java elsewhere before coming to the Fine Arts complex.

Weather alert! University of Victoria Phoenix Theatre will be CANCELLING the Tuesday, February 12 preview of Trojan Women. * Due to the closure of UVic on Tuesday, the Wednesday, Feb 13 preview is now becoming both the first dress rehearsal and a non-public, student-only preview. * We’re sorry for the inconvenience and hope you can join us after this snow clears up and we open Thursday night. Also: Our box office is currently closed and will resume regular hours when UVic opens again.

PATRICK FROM VICTORIA SHOP VISIT GREAT HANG!
David Monette Trumpets https://www.facebook.com/monettetrumpets Sooooo much fun to meet Patrick the last two days! We had a great time updating his serial #104 trumpet, turning him on to PRANA mouthpieces, sharing some quality meditation time and helping him find his first double high C! Looking forward to having him come down and play during one of our concerts sometime! Patrick works with two of my favorite people on the planet - Jo Hood and Lou Ranger! Thanks for the tunes Patrick - let's stay in touch! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10152029757701260&set=vb.117536921259&type=3&theater
