  1. Nice, looks like you had a good crowd.. due to long inspections linueps i missed your set.. i thought forsure i would see you this weekend jay after we met up at starbucks on the highway. camp bisco was definatley bigger this year then last year.. message me on facebook about the tapes you wanted.. peace

  2. For those who have seen the Hip sometime in the last decade and thought they sucked live: They no longer suck live.

    yup listned to their soundcheck this afternoon from my balcony. didn't sound half bad, still think taj will be the better ticket!!!

  3. my buddy bill voisey is having a few bands/bbq in his backyard. he's been doing it for years on canada day and always get's a pritty good crowd for a bit then most would go over to that place party so he always starts early like 1 ish and ends around 8 pm down on spruce st. if you know bill im sure he would be cool if some people came down. it's the house with the lesh is more sticker on the mailbox.. as far as bands not too sure. low key.. hopefully the weather stays away. not like the time nero played at his canada party and it started hailing.. !!!

    THE NATIONAL PARCS LIVE THURSDAY JUNE 12TH

    The National Parcs were born in the backwoods of Quebec, Malawi and B.C., but bred on Montreal streets buzzing with the noise of every nation on earth. For this groundbreaking CD/DVD album, they strip back down to basics, returning to their roots in the bush. The great outdoors becomes their studio, and their songs come alive with all-natural samples of wood splitting, sand slipping, paddles slapping, water dripping. Their cameras and microphones are trained on the trackless woods around them, but their ears have been trained on Grime and Hip Hop, Afrobeat and Baile Funk, American Spirituals and Malian Blues. The resulting Timbervision tracks are an invitation for the world to dance, starting with the half-remembered hum of our own backyards and smuggling in the best that the world has to offer.

  5. rough, his facebook status says he loves his new bike. i just bought a bike last week and bought my helmet first thing. definatley tough biking on the roads. many close calls. hopefully trev is alright. vibes!!!

    Once you get to Liberty Island you will be able to walk around freely. If you

    would like to have someone explain the area to you, the Observatory and

    Promenade Tours are both led my park rangers. The Promenade Tour takes you

    through the Statue of Liberty Museum, where you can see the original torch.

    It also takes you to Fort Wood and gives you plenty of time to take pictures.
