PtboPics: The Tragically Hip (And 4 Dudes On The Balcony) Rocked Showplace

The Hip were amazing, and so too were these four dudes up on the balcony (see pics below). People couldn't help but notice them with their high fives, their man hugs, their fist pumps, their air guitars, their picture taking, their dance moves, their enthusiasm. And they managed to not fall off the balcony.

Balcony dudes almost distract me from Gord... Almost. @Ptbo_Canada

2011 Ode'min Giizis Festival Includes Performance Of "The Creator's Game" At Peterborough Lakers Game & Del Crary Park

Image courtesy Nadya KwandibensOne of the major events at this year's Ode'min Giizis Festival taking place June 15th to June 19th in Peterborough is the performance of The Creator's Game, a celebratory work of contemporary dance combining choreography rooted in Haudenesaune (Iroquois) culture with the athletic prowess of lacrosse.

An abridged performance will be held just before the Peterborough Lakers lacrosse game on the evening of June 16th, and the full performance will be shown on Saturday, June 18th at 3 p.m. as part of the Ode'min Giizis Traditional Gathering at Del Crary Park.
