Spooktacular Ruby Slippers October 31 7-8 pm

Boo, everybody!

First of all thanks to you all for your support during the Membership Drive. Without donations, the station would not be able to continue to deliver the quality and diversity it has come to be known for over the last 27+ years of operation.  We appreciate every listener and never take you for granted.

If you were unable to donate last week and wish to do so, the online option is still open for an extended period of time. Just go to www.ciut.fm and click on Donate Now. It is never too late to keep the love flowing (and by the by, let them know Ruby Slippers send you)

Now, down to the post membership drive/ municipal election show....it's all about HALLOWEEN!!!

Spooky, scary, silly and so much more. Maybe you need a little background music while the trick or treaters are at the door. Or maybe you just need a reason to move your feet! Either way hope you enjoy the ride. 

Cheers!

Indie Week Sunday Oct. 19 Last night

Hey everybody,

The choices are pretty straightforward at this point.

You can go to The Mod Club to catch all the venue Grand Champions battle it out to pick this year's
Indie Week Toronto representative who will then go on to play at Indie Week Ireland.

Or you can go to the Indie Week closing party at the Bovine Sex Club. You will be joined by last year's Canadian winner, Sumo Cyco, New City Kings from Essex, England, and the Hot Sprockets from Dublin.  Good news, this event comes after the conclusion of the Mod Club event.

So what are you waiting for?

Hope you enjoyed the showcase and will mark it on your calendars for next year.
I know I will.

See you Monday to start CIUT's Fall Membership Drive.

Cheers and beers!
