Ever since we realized that Christmas is only 2 1/2 weeks away, we've really been getting into the holiday spirit over here at the Fritz Media offices. Aside from drinking a lot of eggnog lattes, we're not too proud to say that we've pretty much been spinning the Christmas discs from the Biebs and the Buble non-stop! Lucky for us, just as our Christmas Spirit kicked in we get to attend our first Christmas Party of the 2011 Holiday Season! The SchMusic BC Christmas Party is happening tomorrow night (Wednesday, December 7) at the Electric Owl. Arrive at 8PM to mingle with your local industry and the first folks through the door will get free beers courtesy of Steamwhistle! Then at 9:30PM be entertained by the wonderful music of: Sidney York, Maurice and David Vertesi. The whole event will be free to members, and $10 for non-members. For more info, check out the Music BC website. Hope to see you there!
