We are happy to annouce that Mark Eisenman will entertain the crowd at Houselink’s Auction – Double Exposure on April 15th!

In Mark’s own words, what is most rewarding to him as a performer is the sense that “…everyone is having a good time because that means the music is good”. With an outlook such as this, it should come as no surprise that he frequently works Toronto’s major jazz spots. He is a skillful soloist, a versatile ensemble player and a thoughtful and sensitive accompanist. In 1999 Mark received The Jazz Report Award for “Acoustic Pianist of the Year”.

We are sooo excited to announce that Andria Case, CTV News anchor and reporter, will host Houselink’s Auction for the second consecutive year!  

In 2009, Andria helped us reach the milestone of $1 million dollars raised since the event’s inception.  Exciting, energetic and an amazing friend to Houselink, Andria  will graciously emcee the evening, which will feature a renowned jazz performer (TBA), our live auction of contemporary and vintage photography and wine tasting courtesy of the Wines of Chile.

Tickets are on sale now… see you on April 15th!

What are you doing on April 15th?  That’s the question that we asked several Toronto celebs including: Debra DiGiovanni, Scott Thompson, Brent Bambury, Patrick McKenna, Valerie Pringle, Linda Kash, Mark Tewksbury, Bob McDonald, Deb McGrath and Colin Mochrie. 

A special thank you to Lisa Merchant, Josh Saltzman and Dan Shehori for making the video happen!

It’s been a long week of coding and cobbling together this year’s web site, but we are nearing completion.  Of course, in the Web 2.0 world that we’ve entered with this year’s web site, there is no “complete”.  We’ll be facebooking, tweeting, YouTubing and blogging up to event day and beyond! 

Stay tuned for this year’s PSA video coming early next week!

We are in the midst of preparing for Houselink’s Auction, an annual fine art photography auction featuring a wine tasting, silent auction, entertainment and more!  Save the Date: Thursday, April 15, 2010.
