Kalan Porter Busking In Toronto For Charity

Kalan Porter checked in with fans on his blog at MySpace (@kalanporter) on Wednesday (November 19). The ‘Canadian Idol’ season two winner tells readers:

Hey…

On Monday November 24th…

I’m going to be hanging out in the Toronto Eaton Centre…

Busking for charity…

Its part of a great event called “Busking for Change” put on by the organization WAR CHILD.

All proceeds help War Child and Aldo’s Spring Shoes rebuild schools and provide access to education in war torn Africa.

We thought it was a better idea than dressing up as Santa and shaking bells for hours on end…

‘Irritate for Change’ just didn’t have the same ring

Kalan Porter Celebrates 23rd Birthday

Kalan Porter updated fans on his blog at MySpace (@kalanporter) on Thursday (November 13), after celebrating his 23rd birthday on Tuesday. The ‘Canadian Idol’ season two winner tells readers:

I had a super chill birthday…

I’m getting to the age where drinking yourself into a drunken stupor doesn’t necessarily seem like the ideal way to spend the day of your birth.

But…

Going out for a nice dinner and eating yourself into a near comatose state…

Now that’s where it’s at!

We went to a posh steak house, serving the finest of Alberta beef of course, and ate, drank, and became merry.

All and all… a great bday.

Painting Is No Fun For Kalan Porter

Kalan Porter checked in with fans on his blog at MySpace (@kalanporter) on Tuesday (September 9), admitting he’s not a fan of painting. The ‘Canadian Idol’ season two winner writes:

So today… I’m taking a break from the studio to paint my apartment.

Painting has got to be one of my favorite things to do in the world…

Next to washing dishes… and being hit by a car.

Fun times.

Now I’m not suggesting that painting is the worst job in the world…

…But I am.
