Looking for Mr. Goodbar

There's nothing like an ad for a dating service to remind you that your own love life isn't quite up to snuff. Until, of course, you watch Jon Lajoie's Dating Service Commercial.

The Montreal-based comedian has pulled together all the familiar elements we know and dread from those "I met my soulmate" ads that seem to be impossible to escape -- the soft lighting, the acoustic guitar soundtrack, the coy looks from the supposed real life users. But that's where the similarity ends.

Let's go to Fogo

Fogo Island Arts Corporation is a contemporary arts experiment on Fogo Island and Change Islands located just off the coast of Newfoundland [ WIKI ].

The Arts Corp sees arts and creativity as powerful means of stimulating and regenerating the islands by delivering an integrated strategy incorporating the arts, geo tourism and social enterprise.

Arts Corp activities have two intertwined strands – an international Residency Program and a Production Program, both of which engage with locally inspired as well as trans-national processes.
