This coming Wednesday is going to be epic on BVST, as Angelica (with special guests) get deep into Norse mythology and other Scandinavian delights (viking metal, anyone?) in anticipation of the feature film Thor. There will be giveaways, there will be fun, and as usual, there will be intentional & unintentional hilarity. Prepare your best story about a) Thor the Norse god, b) Thor, the comic book hero, or c) Thor, the Canadian heavy metal personality, and call in! Remember, the hammer (of the gods) comes down hard this coming Wednesday, April 27th, from 7 to 9 pm, right here on CJLO!
