I don't follow, what's this mock show stuff about?

I'm seriously considering this as well.

does it show up on your BBS ok?

No problems for me with chrome, firefox or the iPhone version of safari.

There's a great BBC television program called "I'm in a Rock n Roll Band" that is showing up on torrent download sites these days. I just watched the first one (of 6) and it's very well done and interesting. Part documentary, part interview, lots of great footage, interesting conversations..... Check it out if you are ok with downloading TV programs. Maybe it's being broadcast in North America too, I dunno.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I'm_in_a_Rock_'n'_Roll_Band!

I wonder Amex has any no-fee cards I could keep just for this purpose.... Is that what you did Todd?

Wow. Nicely done. Jealous!!!

Hope it's a good one!

Mendes on NHL: Scaring off Spezza

Also at HOPE: Hollerado, Amos the Transparent, The Johnstones, Ty Hall and the EZ3

For those of you with iPhones, the bluesfest iPhone app is pretty good. Â Easier to use than the stupid website

Don't Worry Be Happy

and not sure how I missed Ozomatli playing the Black Sheep stage. Wow. Last time I saw them was on the main stage at Bonnaroo. That'll be killer.

just noticed The Sadies are playing the York St stage on July 11 at 7:15

I agree, favourite venue in Ottawa these days. Who have you seen there Bouche?

Free tickets for the Finals!!

I can vouch for that too! Was there on the May long weekend. Good cheese shop just south of there on Bleecker, and a killer guitar store too. Check out the ones near the front in the glass case....

No, why would Ron MacLean start the interview by singing Happy Birthday? Embarrassing. And I didn't like how when Battman asked where MacLean was getting his information he referenced two newspapers / magazines. I'd think that a guy with MacLean's connections would have better sources than I have access to down at the corner store. Maybe he can't speak publicly about them but he had to know Bettman would ask where MacLean's cited opinions were coming from.

Stephen Colbert last night - "At least there's no umpire here to rob me of my perfect show!"

was she wearing a visor?

Sir Paul will be playing the Air Canada Centre on Toronto on August 8 and the Bell Centre on August 12. Don't know about Toronto on-sale date, but Montreal's public on-sale is June 14 at noon. If anyone finds out about pre-sales please post here...............

Perfect. I'm not a food person but I know what tastes good. Here are some of my favourite places that are either in or near SoHo. I'd say of the places below Shang is the most upscale. I can probably think of more lunch spots... Good Italian - Frank (cash only, crowded and noisy but amazing food) http://www.frankrestaurant.com/index.asp Burritos - Neighburrito (more of a lunch thing obviously) http://neighburrito.com/ Asian - Momofuku http://www.momofuku.com/, Shang http://www.shangrestaurant.com/ 'American' - Five Points http://www.fivepointsrestaurant.com/

So apparently Ron McLean helped save a guy attempting to kill himself today. Not a bad way to spend a day off. I wonder what Bettman did.
