Hello Mammal Lovers!

This Friday (February 10) at the Drake Lab (1140 Queen St. West), in coordination with our current residency, “Open Cheese Office Grilled Songwriting Sandwich,” we’ll be cooking, hosting and celebrating the FOURTH annual Timothy Comeau Award, and you are invited! Swing by at 7pm or after to eat, be merry and find out who the winner is this year! Bring yourself, your friends, your drinks, your musical instruments, and the rest (an abundance of decadent cheese-variation sandwiches) will be provided.

The Timothy Comeau Award was created to recognize individuals who have shown exceptional support, interest and love for Mammalian. Recipients of the Timothy Comeau Award have been participants in many of our activities and have also offered insights, analysis and criticism. These are people without whom our events and existence would feel incomplete.

The 2010 winner of the Timothy Comeau Award was Sanjay Ratnan. Sanjay has been hanging out with MDR and participating in Mammalian events since he was a fetus. He continues to contribute his talents, ideas and super-star personality to Mammalian as a member of The Torontonians.

The 2009 winner of the Timothy Comeau Award was Kathleen Smith. Kathleen is not only a super Mammalian supporter, but thanks to her three nominations, MDR won the Toronto Arts Foundation’s Arts for Youth Award in 2009, a $15,000 cash prize!

The 2008 winner of the inaugural Timothy Comeau Award was Timothy Comeau. Timothy is a writer and cultural worker who has a couple of blogs including (curation.ca). He has been a constant supporter of the company, writing about our work, showing up to our events, goofing around and generating the kind of vibe that is essential to us. A Mammalian event without Timothy is a Mammalian event that’s happening on another continent.

Who will it be this year?!!

Hope to see you Friday!
