Lexie Miller’s ad was re-designed to fit AKA’s public billboard, where it was hand-painted by local sign-painter Dave Smith. Recent post by drummer Lexie Miller from a public bulletin site in Saskatoon. The text is taken directly from an original ad found in a public bulletin binder at Long & McQuade (musical equipment sales and rentals) in Saskatoon. The original ad was photographed on June 2, 2009. The text is the same, except for the phone number that was changed for an email address.
