Is The Rogue in Vancouver about to disappear? I just got mail last night from the operators, sent out to everyone on their mailing list, saying that apparently there’s about to be a surprise sale of St. James Community Square. That will be followed by demolition and redevelopment – starting in as little as two months.<\/p>\n

This is a hugely important venue for the entire lower mainland\/greater Vancouver folk scene, and to a smaller degree, the Seattle and Victoria scenes as well. They even bring in people from the Maritimes and Quebec. If you have any<\/em> fucks in your fields to give for this, now is the time to give them<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Save Saint James Community Square
\nUnder Threat of Re-Development
\nHelp us purchase it from the United Church<\/p>\n

We need your support right now to save this building from the wrecking ball!<\/p>\n

Come to the show [yesterday] and sign the petition.<\/p>\n

Call St. James Community Square on 604-739-9373 in the morning.<\/p>\n

Write letters of support. Pledge donations. Tell your friends. Heck, tell everyone about this!<\/p>\n

Email infosjcommunitysquare.org
\nor roguefolktelus.net<\/p>\n

This sale could happen within two months if you \/ we don’t act NOW.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Anna and I have already pledged support. There’s no online version of the petition that I can find yet<\/em>, though they have posted an alert to the official blog<\/a> – basically what I pasted in above.<\/p>\n

Hopefully there will be more word and more specifics soon. Until then – send email and sign up to mobilise!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
