"somewhere in never, we fell asleep to the ticking of time.
Nursery rhymes in murderous times.
But somewhere in between now, a lush jungle of dreams awoke.
We floated away, drunken in laughter and dance, into the most
beautiful of dreams where all time became naked, fragrant with
the bitter sweet essence of the end. Now we celebrate. " - - - umi

Sonando Sofia Co-op Inc & Umi Cafe Present:
Ottawa's New Music Series
8:00 PM
$5 Cover
Featuring: Vince Andrushko (Winnipeg)
http://www.myspace.com/vinceandrushko
Gear up for another night of tantilizing new music from Ottawa and all over Canada. Come and support indie music, lift yourself up from the same routine and come check out a good show at Umi Cafe.
Viva la musica!
ALso featuring a local artists YTB.
Check out what in Vince is All about...Roots Music Baby!
Vince Andrushko's songs take you places. But, more than that, they give you a sense of all the history that went into making that place at that moment just so. He has an engaging voice overflowing with style and character that compels you to keep listening in a way that's becoming rare in these days of instant communication. Vince was raised where the open prairie and the big sky meet the big city, on the outskirts of the indomitable underdog of Canadian culture, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. When he's not treating you to one of his originals, it's not unusual to hear him play songs by AC/DC and Jimmie Rodgers back-to-back. Listening to him perform gives you a sense that maybe time doesn't behave exactly how you thought it did. Maybe it's a recognition of a common yearning we all have to make ourselves unreachable to the stresses of modern life and retreat to a cabin in the woods where we, not our cell phones and alarm clocks, can determine the pace of life. "Almost Home," Andrushko's second album, was released in 2009, and was recorded at the hotbed of roots/Canadiana, Beverland Studios in Winnipeg's West End. With his guitar and vocals at the core, the songs are deftly embellished and accentuated by some of the city's, and the country's, best players, including members of the D.Rangers, The Western States, and one of Canada's most under-appreciated musical legends: harmonica player Gord Kidder. Do yourself a favour and find a copy of this record. Or better yet, go see Vince perform live and get one straight from him. - Ryan Menard

UMI's "Let's Change Christmas" Fair Trade Day -
THE FREECYLE: An Alternative to the Consumer Beast
11:00 AM to 4:00 PM
Some people might say that Christmas has been hijacked by the corporate mongers who wish to mismanage the value of a gift, degrading it to the value of your consumer power. For this reason, Freecyle day is an event of free and fair exchange. Bring one, two or more items to Umi that you own, but might not use so often or even want. Meet others and find an item that you would want for yourself or as a great gift idea! Come with something your want to give and leave with something you wanted.
A great way to recycle old belongings, find that obscure or rare item you were hoping for, and exercise your freedom of free and fair trade!
Items that you may bring include; clothing; electronics; accesories, jewelery, toys, art, music,
household items (limit size pls), software, or anything that you find suitable.
PLEASE no large items that require heavy lifting.
PLEASE, only working and functional items.
A great day of fair exchange and free sharing, the true values of a family holiday.
For any questions, please contact us...
