You have probably heard that I think #HamOnt is a fabulous city.
I love this place. There are so many talented people here...

It's an amazing time to be an Artist/Musician and Creative in Hamilton.
There are resources, networking meet-ups, shows, live events, mentors, festivals and more, here at your disposal just waiting to be tapped. (Just need to find a way to be able to monetize this talent in ways that are win-win).

I can't remember a time when we've been able to access so many galleries and live events on any given night of the week. It's exciting to know that the Hamilton arts/music culture is here now!
What a great time to be a part of the scene...

For instance, I attended 12 events/places this weekend (as I have been known to do from time to time). It's important to me to show support by cross promoting, or attending.

Here's where I ended up being (and seeing)...
