Bone Marrow transplant needed for James Lee Erlandsen... searching for Eurasian donors
by
Todd
on Sun 29 Apr 2007 10:30 PM PDT
This past week, I recieved a unique request to help spread the request to find a bone marrow donor for James Erlandsen. His cousin Aynsley contacted me. I am amazed at the similar parallels between James and myself regarding our family histories, our educational histories, and health crisis histories.
Back in 1989, I was studying Psychology at SFU, when I was diagnosed with a germ cell tumor, a rare form of cancer and given a 60% chance to live with treatment. Without chemotheraphy treatment, the doctors later told me, I would have lasted about two weeks. I had just turned 29 years old at the time. more »

Vancouver Sun: Dancer's Search for Cultural Identity - features Alvin Erasga Tolentino
by
Todd
on Sun 29 Apr 2007 11:25 AM PDT
I first met Alvin Erasga Tolentino about 6 years ago at the Vancouver Public Library. Alvin was starting up his new dance company Co. Erasga Dance and he would use the computers in the Central Branch computer lab where I worked at the time. We hit it off, and he invited me to some of his shows... and over the years, I have both attended and reviewed some of his works (see Alvin Tolentino's "She Said" - featuring vibrant contemporary Dance)
He is considered one of the top Asian-Canadian dance choreographers.
This weekend he is featured at the Telus Studio Theatre in the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts at UBC, on both Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon. more »

George Sapounidis is a Greek-Canadian who sings in Mandarin Chinese. He has become famous in China. In 2004, he was featured in the CBC television performance special "Gung Haggis Fat Choy." In February of 2005, I met him when he came to do a Spring Festival concert for a Chinese audience in the Vancouver suburb of Burnaby. We hit it off immediately with our spontaneous wacky sense of humours and living in the moment styles. George sent me the invitation below.... obviously.... he's very excited.CANADA'S CHAIRMAN GEORGE set to ROCK BEIJING
