Thank you to everyone who came out to see the Will Wong & Friends show! I had a great time, especially after we all warmed up. Thank you to Will for organizing such a great event! The show was sold out thanks to all your hard work! Thank you to all the wonderful performers that evening. You were all amazing! A special thanks goes out to my co-host Habeyah for helping me out with the cue cards at such a last minute. I look forward to the next event. Pics will be up soon.

The website is still undergoing changes in content and design...Look for a full re-design in the Spring. In the meantime, outdated info and events are being fixed up. Stay tuned for more!

WILL WONG & FRIENDS CONCERT UPDATE:
Just a reminder for everyone to come check out the Will Wong & Friends concert this coming Saturday, November 9, 2002! It will be happening at MHQ Karaoke, which is on the 3rd floor inside Pacific Mall in Scarborough. Pacific Mall is the largest indoor Chinese mall in North America, and is located at the corner of Kennedy and Steeles. The show is almost completely sold out, but an extra block of tickets have been released to Music Headquarters at First Markham Place (905-470-8038) and Pacific Mall (905-513-0018). Because of this, there will be NO tickets at the door so please purchase them as soon as possible! I will be hosting the show, along with Image Consultant Habeyah Yusuf. I checked out a few of the rehearsals and things are sounding great! I look forward to seeing you all there on Saturday.
F--- M--- UPDATE:
Thank you to everyone who supported F-- M-- during CKLN's FundFest pledge drive! You, the listeners are an important part of our show, and I thank you for your continued support. Good luck on the prize draw, and I hope that you enjoy your FM JPopcast Mix CDs! For those who were unable to make a pledge, you will have your chance again next October!
Please continue to send in your requests for the show. On deck for next week (Tuesday, November 12), I will be playing new music from Misia, Hirai Ken, Road of Major and more!
