August 25, 1994: I was with the committee planning the first annual Parkdale Artbeat Festival

Thirty years ago today

            On Thursday I ran into Tom Smarda and his brother on Queen Street. Tom snapped at me but all was well later. 

            In the evening I went to the Rhino in Parkdale and attended the meeting upstairs of the committee that was planning the first annual Parkdale Artbeat Festival. I recall being the only one who argued about the planned format.
