If I were in Montreal, I'd be here:

Kid Koala is hosting 3 nights of mellow tracks to inspire your pencil. Here's the link. It's been dubbed : Music To Draw To
Here's the details:

Bring your sketchbook, yarn, or that lump of clay. Floor lamps, pens, knitting needles, and lap desks will be provided. Five bucks admission includes a free cup of hot chocolate or tea. Music will be provided by Kid Koala. Expect a full 5-hour set of some of his favorite quiet time records that he has collected on his travels around the world. Baked goods will be provided by Kid Koala’s wife, Corinne, who dreams of someday opening a bakery in Montreal and would like to try some of her new creations first.

Quiet people are invited. Bring something to work on. No dancing. Hope to see you there!

3 NIGHTS ONLY : 7pm until midnight :
March 2, 2009
March 9, 2009

Theatre St. Catherine: 264 St. Catherine E., Montreal, QC

ALL AGES!

This is one of the coolest get-togethers I've heard of in a while. Colour me jaloux.

While we're talking Kid Koala, here are a few of his animated music videos by Monkmus.
