He joined Bidiniband onstage at the 'shoe last weekend too eh! They did Wreck of Edmund Fitzgerald. GTs.

Howdy! Anyone out there familiar with a band called OX? I'm going to see them tonight at Mitzi's Sister with a friend who digs them or is friends with them (or both). Looking forward to my first visit to this old Queen St W bar, and the show is looking pretty interesting too:

Just noticed that the Drake has a solid lineup of shows happening Dec 26-30, only $5 cover! http://www.thedrakehotel.ca/witb

Got mine too!

For a party happening at This Aint Hollywood in Hamilton tomorrow night: http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=170515992980125

Hey! I have been trying to figure this out for over an hour now and am getting nowhere. I'm trying to install MS Office Suite 2007 on a HP Mini laptop (for work). I have a product activation key that may or may not be valid. I don't know what version of MS Office 2007 it is (or possibly once was) valid for - ie. Standard, Home & Office, etc. The HP Mini came with a trial version of 2007 that is now expired. I put the product key that I have into there and it was rejected. Maybe the key is for a different version of Office 2007? I can't seem to find anywhere on the internet to download MS Office Suite 2007.. All that's available is Office 2010 now. I don't know if a product key for MS Office 2007 works for MS Office 2010. So basically I have made no progress and it is getting frustrating. Anyone have any word of enlightenment? Is there any easy way I can find out exactly what software this product key works (or once worked) for? And if it is still valid?

Too broke. :-/

I won't be making it... But curious to hear anything you can offer up about the Sisters show last night!

Went down to the show (and found a partner in crime) so thought I'd post some recollections. The crowd was quite a lot older which made for fairly easy maneuvering to the front area as there just wasn't the surge to get close to the stage (as it was the night before with Zeus at the 'Shoe). Actually I was surprised by the dominant silver fox demographic, thought that the more contemporary players in the lineup would bring out the 30s crowd. - The Good Brothers did the first 4-5 songs, Oh Susanna and Matt Good sat in for some. Oh Susanna led for 'Harvest' and 'Powderfinger'. They did an Ian Tyson song and then some Good Bros originals. The guy who played fiddle and mandolin is from Prairie Oyster. This first mini set was probably my favourite, The Good Brothers were in great form. - It's foggy from here on.. But I believe The Beauties took the stage next and backed up a lot of artists. - Andy Kim was kind of creeping me out in a Gene Simmons lookalike kind of way. - The guys from Crowbar KILLED it when they were up. The Beauties guys were blown away on stage as well. Wish I could recall which song it was. - Luke Doucet and Melissa McClelland led on 'Ophelia' which was the only Band song of the night. - Justin Rutledge hammed it up with "Make Me Do (Anything You Want)", coming close but not quite reaching the greatness of Helix's version. - Shakura S'Aida!!! Holy Lord this woman can sing! She blew everybody away with the power of her voice, kind of like a young Aretha Franklin. At the end of one song, the guy from The Beauties put it best when he said "i just want to go home now after that". - Tim Vesely joined Bidiniband on vocals (maybe guitar too) for "The Wreck of Edmund Fitzgerald" - Dan Hill did "Sometimes When We Touch" of course - Ron Sexsmith was onstage a number of times though sadly I can't recall what songs he led on. That's it!

Are you in town AD?

I reckon so. But damn is it ever hard to get people out to see live music these days! People and their plans.

I'm with ya BR - never heard of her, or Lady Antebellum.

This looks like a kick ass night out! QBert would be a great dj to see spin.

Me too! Made a last minute decision and booked it from Guelph. My all-time favourite Gin as well, Trey made his guitar sound like a goddamn dinosaur.

What about this one??

I am really sorry for your loss Brian. My thoughts and sympathies are going out to you and all those who knew and loved Julia.

PROPA.

Nice! Who is in his touring band? (I swear I'd Google it but my internet connection at home is broken, I'm stealing someone else's connection and this could take a while.)

Looking forward to hearing these turkeys.. And Swan, I'm jealous.

Unless her part sounded shitty.. in which case, good call Neil.

Walking into Ivor Wynne yesterday, it was the rowdiest crowd I've seen at a game in years. We were all on our feet for most of the game, waiting for the Cats to pick up the slack. Which didn't happen until the last drive of the game. Then the pick. They blew it! Ah well, at least I will be stress-free at Cup with no stakes in who wins or loses (as long as it isn't the damn Argos!).

I can't wait for the Ti Cats to crush the dreaded Argonauts tomorrow afternoon - for the fourth time this season no less! GO CAAAAAAATSS!! :superman:

Yeah thanks! I missed the first few songs of his set but from my count he dropped 'the line' 17 times. I enjoyed the show - actually more than I thought I would. I like how he doesn't hesitate to go right into the middle of the crowd several times throughout. I liked the part with the kids and old people on stage at the end. Good times overall, even though a coke costs $4 at Kool Haus.

Always a good time! 8am on a Saturday though. http://www2.carleton.ca/students/jeffrey-sachs-to-speak-at-carleton-university-on-november-13/
