Degrassi Cast Meet & Greet / Degrassi Radio [Soft Launch]

I’m using this blog post as a test launch for Degrassi Radio.  I’m not exactly sure how I wanna go about it, but I just decided to put together a show and here we are.  It’s a mix of discussing the news content below and music.  Music is one of the most underrated parts of Degrassi. Any music that will be used has either been  featured on the show, performed by the cast or is a song an episode has been named after.

Hi Degrassi friends,
 
Are you all excited Degrassi is back on air in 24 days? I know I am!!! To hold you over until then…I have updates for you.
 
First off, a MEET & GREET!!
 
The Degrassi cast will be at the Degrassi Me to We store in Toronto this Friday as we launch our new DVD, Degrassi in India. Watch as the cast travels to India, visits rural communities and helps lay the bricks for a new school. Coming face-to-face with poverty, child labour and families deprived of life’s basic necessities, these young stars discover the true power of compassion. Journey with the Degrassi cast as they experience the breathtaking sights, sounds and sensations of India, and come away with a new definition of hope.
RSVP for either the 6 pm or 7 pm screening where you can chat with the cast and even get autographs! To RSVP, please visit http://www.degrassiindia.eventbright.com/
 
And for those of you who were inspired by the Degrassi adventure… are you ready to start your own adventure in India?
Travel with Me to We and experience one of the most diverse regions of the world. Spend your days building a school and meeting local children. Explore ancient ruins and take daily Hindi lessons. Visit www.metowe.com/trips to begin your journey today.

Secondly, we have noticed that our very own Munro Chambers has been nominated for a Shorty Award…NO it is not about height! It is a wonderful honor as the awards make tribute to the best producers of short real-time online content…i.e. TWITTER! J
Right now, Munro is in 5th place- right ahead of Chris Colfer from Glee and Neil Patrick Harris! Let’s rally behind him and start voting him up to #1!!
