Todd To Play GO! Festival 2008
The GO Festival is finally returning to Kitchener-Waterloo- it confirmed today and I am flattered! Once again, they’ve selected me, out of 280 applicants to be one of the (two-digit number) to play 2008’s GO! Festival. I was lucky and honoured to play at GO! Festival last year, and played my set+ at the Duke Of Wellington on March 22nd, 2007. Visit the GO! related links below to spot more information and downloadable media as it comes through. And i’ll keep you posted as best as I can for more info regarding my set date and venue, as well as the complete schedule if possible. I recommend you GO! to the GO! Festival, support our scene, and I promise you that it will be enjoyed, I know plenty of people who all went for the all-access passes and had a great time! I certainly did!
“Todd’s Second Record” #1 At CKMS
I truly don’t know how it happened or who to thank, but a serious thankyou CKMS for their overwhelming love, support and flattery with this ranking, and if you only knew, so much more. I should at least, thank by name all the wonderful friends I have at that wonderful station: (and I will) Carrie, Jamie, Amber, KLP, Kevin and more… thank you for all your love CKMS! I’m honoured more than you would beleive to be played at all, but to have the CD chart, and hell to reach #1!? Umm, way to go me!
Todd Nominated for KW Arts Award Again!
I was honoured to be nominated the one time for the 2006 KW Arts Awards, but this year, it was totally un-expected. I say that mainly becuase a friend who will be named anonymous for this news bull- had told me she’d nominated me not too long after, then told me to check it out online, so again this year- I have no clue who to thank. I was thrilled to even be at the recognition reception last time, but it was of course, a splendid evening at the Walper Terrace for the Ceremony. This year the Ceremony is being held at Center In The Square on June 8th (Which will also be 3 years since I first played a show with Mr. Peter Katz). If the nominator is reading… I now know, and thankyou very very much. Oh, for those interested, i’m nominated in Leading Edge, and I say re-nominated, because that’s the category I was a nominee of in 2006.
Todd In Snap KW
If you get a chance, go visit snapkw.com, and be sure to search October 2007, under ‘Todd’s Second Record’, or Todd Donald cd launch’ / as well as January 2008 under ’90’s Rewind’. Both albums are for events that I played at covered by this wonderful monthly, yearbook-like, magazine. SNAP KW not only includes a calender for local events going on, as well as a SUDOKU game, but it includes up to 25 or so large photo-covered pages that wonderfully capture KW life. This can give you a glimpse into just what awesome culture you’ve been missing out on if you have, and lets you know how to get involved… OR lets you know also how to get them involved in your goings on!
