Most readers on this blog will already know about the current serious threat to Coach House Books. The press is fundamentally important to Canadian literature, and has been a major inspiration for a lot of DIY-type publishing activity. It's an important publisher for under-the-radar writers and most Canadian authors with any publishing history have had something to do with Coach House in the past 40 years. The place is an icon, and I think we need it. There's an interesting online petition here, FWIW, that allows you to see who's posted and read their comments.
I feel so strongly about the merit of this instant coffee listing that I am reposting it below:

Saturday July 24th, 2004
Gladstone Hotel 1214 Queen St. W. (TORONTO)
$6 10pm
The 2003 Toronto appearance by Extreme Animals was cancelled due to city wide lack of electricity. We promise that won't happen again, ok, but you, if you know anything you have to come to this. Have you seen this http://www.paperrad.org/animations/graffiti.html? Well go and watch it than you can decide whether you should come. Maybe you think its stupid, well fine, don't come, we are not going to miss you. But if you do come please show up at 10pm and bring 6$ + money for beverages and merchandise, plus don't forget to wear jammer shorts. If you don't wear jammer shorts you may feel slightly out of place, but don't say we didn't warn you.

I'm involved in an interesting discussion over at Catherine Osborne's blog about art & commodity as evidenced in the work of Sandy Plotnikoff (work which I love). A super nice feature of this medium is that while two mouthy art chicks can ramble on, the artist himself can join in too, as well as anyone else with a thought on the matter.
