This week is Frankie Week. People from around the world are celebrating.

Marie N’Diaye and I are organizing two massive Shim Shams in Montreal. One on Friday night at the Cat’s Corner Downtown Stomp, and another on Sunday noon-time at Place Jacques-Cartier in Vieux Montreal. We will be bringing a banner and camera to film. If you have any questions, call me at 514-575-9025 or Marie at 514-995-3021. Rain or shine, we’ll be out to dance!

Check out the blog post by Fabienne Cabado from VOIR about our event.
