MUSIC | StillePost Funeral
Many in Toronto's indie music scene are currently in mourning over the loss of a web entity: the Stillepost board and community. Even though it has been replaced by CultureComa.com, it's still hard to get over for some of us. Get some closure at The Garrison tonight with an official funeral, including a eulogy to be delivered, an open casket to fill with memories, and appearances by DJ Cyber Rap, notorious Toronto rock impressario Dan Burke, and more... R.I.P.
