    Hello you beautiful peoples! Another week flashing
    by...admittedly I was close to reverting back into
    2-year-old mode on the weekend during the family
    shindigs. Yup, almost started a temper tantrum on the
    kitchen floor cause there's only so much family
    nuttiness Venus can take...not that I don't love my
    fam (hi Corrine!) but when your moms keeps telling you
    how to boil water...more than once...and you're in
    your mid-twenties...well it's enough to drive Venus a
    little kookoo.

    Speaking of rarities...NOT! Yet another snowfall
    hitting the T-dot...yup, not even surprised anymore.
    All we need is minus 20 celsius weather to hit and
    it's ON!! Bring on winter, cause lord knows we just
    can't get enough of the lack of sunlight! Anyone out
    there got room in their pad on the Riveria? The
    record crates can be packed in a snap...

    OH SHNAP! Yeah, DJs Dalia and Venus concocting another
    edition of the 'BEST KEPT SECRET' to breeze through
    your speakers once again tonight 6-8 PM EST on CHRY
    105.5 FM (uptown baby, UPTOWN!). Check it online at
    http://www.yorku.ca/chry live in Shoutcast (just
    snatch yerself Winamp and you're good to go).

    ~~~~TONIGHT~~~~ (cause what goes down must come up)

    One of our favourite peoples in the whole wide world
    will be joining us in the studio tonight to speak his
    clout on the mic and behind the decks. Yes, Andrew
    Masuda aka Mista Masuuuuuda aka Mr. CHRY of 'Build to
    Break' fame right here on 105.5 FM will be bringing
    the conscious house, hip hop, and abstract vibes with
    conscious words to wake you up to injustice. He's
    involved with the Ontario Common Front, media
    democracy issues, and just about any social justice
    cause you can think of. One of the dopest cats we've
    ever known, for sho. And one of the funniest sleepers
    you'll ever see (early Tuesday mornings, anyone?).
    Don't miss 'Build to Break'...news, current events,
    and interviews with various artists and activists, all
    set against a backdrop of serious hip hop, house, and
    them punk vibes. Monday nights 11 PM - midnite EST on
