From her blog:
"VANCOUVER:

Edit 11/6/11 6:12PM PST: You’re now too late for the Vancouver ninja gigs – they took place earlier, today…thanks to everyone who came! Here’s a photo Neil took at Fluevog…

me & neil are ninja-gigging TODAY at a shoe store.

yes, a shoe store. but a RAD shoe store…

the kind folks at John Fluevog (whose boots i regularly sport on stage) have offered to let us use their digs today from 2pm ‘til around 3…which makes it perfect for indoor-ninja reading. it’s neil’s first ninja gig, so be kind to him!!!! address is 65 water street.

buy some vegan shoes while you’re there!

then i plan to parade with everybody over to #OccupyVancouver (@OccupyVancouver) for a quick 4pm ninja gig before we soundcheck for the sold-out show at the vogue theater.

if you didn’t read in the news, there was a death there yesterday (a woman was found dead in her tent, presumably of an OD…shining some harsh light on the big ongoing problems vancouver has in the drug department). this is sad on so many different levels, and it sounds like vancouver is coming under immediate fire from the city – they’re going to try to shut it down ASAP. please follow my twitter for updates. if push comes to shove, we’ll move the location of the gig – we don’t want to add fuel to the fire if they’re having a rough time over there, but if we DO show up: please be loving & peaceful, and respectful of what everyone there is going through."
