The Orange Art Society formed in 2002 and since then regular Orange Festivities have been well-known ("Why is everybody buying orange clothes this week?" asked Burcu, while those of us in the loop shared a wink) and loved among certain segments of East Van's Burner community, with representation from key members of the Fool's Society and frequently incorporating big noise from the Carnival Band.
This year, because life is too short to wear boring shoelaces, we are going to discover just how orange we can make our music. (We often play blue; the color wheel theory suggests that orange will be the opposite.)
As the party is taking place at a very orange private residence, it's not clear how much further we can disclose regarding the proceedings, but as a consolation for the tragically un-orange, our performance the following night is open to all!
