Imagine having the balls to take it upon yourself to commit to train and run a triathlon or marathon half way around the world in an effort to support the Lymphoma and Leukemia Society. On top of that imagine that you need to raise over $6000 to do so. Well friends of PKG have those balls and need ours to get over that 6K number with only a few weeks left!

If you want to help and have a great time while doing it, head out to see a wicked night of tunes and give them your money! Monday March 22^nd at 8pm, the Media Club Vancouver.

Sarah Kittle and Brian Michals are two participants in Team In Training and have been training for two separate events (triathlon and marathon); both raising awareness and money to put towards the LLS.

I would like to introduce a new segment from PKG. The PKG Plus will bring you the viewer insights on the world of art, music and fashion from across the country. This installment focuses on the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. While the City hosted the eyes of the world over the past month for the games a plethora of public art came in the package and PKG wanted to share some with you along with some interesting side notes.

Saintwoods has taken it upon themselves to introduce a new festival to the Montreal nightlife and PKG likes the vibes…

“Join us on March 19th as we conquer the bright lights of Metropolis for the first time and introduce a new music festival to Montreal nightlife: WOODWORK. There’s a little something for everyone at Woodwork as we mix in the best and brightest across the broad spectrum of electronic music, not to mention eye popping visuals, on stage entertainment, and all the little extras that make Saintwoods events…well…SAINTWOODS EVENTS. If you ‘Killed Halloween’ with Saintwoods, then you can expect more of the same. If you didn’t, then watch our videos and run out and purchase a ticket to what will surely be a night you will never forget, or never remember… either way its gonna be epic.
