Carson T. Foster, host of Kickass Karaoke, is hosting a special karaoke night tomorrow (Thursday, August 16th) at Not My Dog (located at 1510 Queen Street West). If you want to sing, you have to make a minimum donation of $1.00 per song; the money will go to Opportunity for Advancement (OFA) who describe themselves as:
Opportunity for Advancement works with women in disadvantaged life situations. While poverty is an issue for almost all of the women with whom we work, other factors create additional barriers to well-being and equal participation in society. These include being a sole-support parent, being an immigrant or woman of colour, being lesbian, being disabled or chronically ill, or having experienced violence. OFA is involved in program delivery and social advocacy with the goal of supporting women to achieve greater economic sufficiency, increased personal well-being and enhanced participation in their communities.
The fun starts at 8:00 p.m. and wraps up at 2. I’m hoping to catch some of it and perform as well.

Well, I never. I have a blog called "Not My Dog" that I started in Fall 2000, and until I read this article, the only other Not My Dog I knew about was a South African rock group. Now a bar has joined the fun. I must see about getting some mementoes from there. Thanks for posting this, Joey.
