So I just started reading this book called How To Go Further by Woody Harrelson and an idea struck me. The hippies of my parents' generation successfully challenged a lot of social norms and conventions. I really do feel that they paved the way for non-conventional lifestyles and familial arrangements. Now in my generation many people deny the existance of a valid counter-culture. However, I feel that the fact that ideas like organic food and green cleaning products are now quite mainstream is proof of the fact that my generation's zeal for environmentalism has had a positive effect on the mindframe of western society. Basically I believe that we have and should contintue to take the philosophies that began with the fifties and sixties counter-culture and combine them with the modern research and technology of today to continue increasing our environmental efficiency. To sum up, my parents fixed the uptight notions of gender roles and societal convention, we should do what we can to make the planet cleaner. Then we could all run around naked, drinking water right from the rivers! (holy shit, I do still have some naive optimism left in me, I thought I was a hundred percent jaded and cynical by now......must be that springtime air)

come to Hamilton Passenger!!!

fuck that shit.....come back to the downtown browntown.......make the wookies come here to see you!

thanks for my daily belly laugh! fuck i love this site....and cookies!

i quit two years ago (WOO HOO! anniversary just passed) in the first week of March. In May of that year I started biking to work all the time (about ten kilometres) and you should have seen the shit that came out of my lungs, it really did look like shit! I think it had legs, too. It took a while for me to really notice a huge difference in lung capacity etcetera, but of course it does make a difference. Mind you I smoked players light smooth or native smokes (yea Gold Leaf!) and nearly a pack a day, so I had quite a lot of room for improvement. Now, if only I could stop being such a lush I'd be a downright health nut!

i surmise that john lennon speaks through the medium of lazlo on this board. Sweet, more crass humour!!!

i know that i can sing and dance and fight little lazlo at the same time, so you have my word on it, but whether or not the little bitch can handle this shit we shall see!

I'll fight lazlo in the creek may two four to prove it!

Anne's got it covered in water, she has the benefit of agility whereas Rita has to deal with some massive resistance from the volume of water she has to displace to move any part of her body. On land I think Anne might be fucked, but in water it's totally the skinny, crazy one who's going to win.

Wolves are an ingtriguing animal that many people identify with......and for some reason feel the need to sport this on their sweater.

are you so tanned you're shit brown?

i'm sorry, i think that was the rye talking!

So I went to Two Doors Down last night [color:purple](SURPRISE!) and saw this band from Guelph called Passenger, and holy shit they were great. I highly recommend seeing them if they come your way.

, it is almost 25, and that's a quarter of a century, which is definitely old

FUCK YOU!!

okay, i'm practically a cougar

but i can't help it, all i seem to attract are eighteen year-olds and their dads!

if you call my age old again i'm going to break your junk!

oh no, who let the drunk girl...... wait, scratch that,,,,, the drunk woman...... near the computer to type?

at least i still get carded on a regular basis

and this is what rock bottom looks like.

how old do you have to be to get thinking hair?

i can't wait until i'm that old!

happy b-day shainhouse, i'll buy you a birthday beer when kae sun's in browntown.

my friend mandy's mom sure liked them percocets. she was really weird. she used to accuse me of being high whenever i was at her house. she was only right about half the time, i was really allergic to her dog.

naked redhead=great!

naked redneck=ruptured nuts

for sure!

Been counting down since monday!

too bad the eleventeen year-olds rule at brando's hip hop nights, it drives me nuts. that bar occaisionally gets really good music but the fucking clientele sucks a lot of the time!

if i see some naked redneck cokehead's nuts at two in the afternoon again i'm kicking them with my fourteen holes!

other than that, i frickin' love frontier town!

my goal of the weekend will be to make it to one of the skanc pics, i have not been in one yet! i'm always working when they're going on!

my speculations............

the biggest festival i can recall was somewhere close to two thousand i believe, it was one of the last ones at the ghost town.

it's not at izzy's anymore because Gary is not running the park anymore.

average attendance at izzy's was five hundred-ish i would estimate!

oh, and Rick, if you lurk on this board, do i still have permission to jump on anything of yours??

what kind of pussy sleeps at come together?

wait a minute, think of all the inuendos in *that* sentence!

fuckineh!

if you're coming to Caution Jam on Saturday I'll buy you a congradjulatory beer.

Honestly, I have to give props to the sound crew. They give a lot to the festival. A lot of the equipment is theirs, which they transport themselves. They give a whole lot more time than just the weekend to set up and tear down all that. The mixers stay sober until they are done their job and they really put their best effort in to providing the best sound possible, not only focusing on the mains, but getting the monitors to satisfy the players. So many sound crews neglect the monitors and basically tell the musicians to suck it up and stop being pussies. But the more confident the band is in what they're playing, the better the show, no? From my limited understanding of band dynamics, communication is huge. If you can't hear what everyone else is doing, how can you have a good jam? If the jams aren't good, then the fans complain. Personally, I'm pretty picky about the sound myself, but I think that Scott and crew do a great job. I love the mix they produce and they are pros at disaster relief. I know that Scott and Doug have worked together on many occasions and get along wonderfully, both socially and musically. I give total props to the sound crew. Scott, Wayne, Pete, Tom, Ron, I love ya's!
