Freak By Night

Surprised nobody has commented on this yet, so I'll get the ball rolling. After 30 years of disagreements, outrageous tariffs, and lawyers getting rich, the US and Canada have come to an agreement on softwood lumber.

Is this Harper's finest hour? Or will the US just find other ways to screw us?

Personally I think the deal makes no difference in the big picture; we will just continue to chop down trees until they're all gone.

See you there traveler!

Tickets for the CSNY show in Ottawa go on sale Saturday, May 6 at 10:00 am

capitaltickets.ca

(I like not having to deal with ticketbastard for most big Ottawa concerts.)

How can these guys make band websites so affordable?

They skimp on proofreading.

That's right "you only live once," words I live by and likely the reason why I'm not a home owner yet.

Homeownership is over-rated!

Tickets for the Montreal show go on sale Monday.

Listened to the whole thing this morning. I love it! Musically I think it's like Ragged Glory.

Blane/ollie' date=' any chance you could come by Mavericks after the game?

Aloha,

That's my plan!

Mine too!

I kind of agreed with Cherry on his point about Chris Neil being a game star while Spezza was not. Spezza had 4 points for crying out loud!

However, as far as Neil taunting then turtling - excellent strategy!

I was flipping through the channels last night during commercials in the hockey game. Landed on A & E and there was a huge band playing on an outdoor stage in front of a small crowd. Immediately recognized the song as Zappa's Zombie Woof!

The band was made up of young kids, both boys and girls, and wow, could they every play.

I caught the last 20 minutes or so of the show, it was some kind of Rock School thing. Looked it up on the A&E website this morning, it's a 2-hour documentary, the instructor teaches these kids how to play Zappa. It looks like it will be re-broadcast this Saturday at 4pm.

The jazz festival website works way better than the blues festival website.

I remember that well. I was babysitting my neighbour's kids (a boy and a girl 10/12 years old or so) when this occurred. A few days later I learned that the parents were upset with me for letting their children watch the brawl!

Thanks for the video link!

I must comment on the selections of music they played during the stoppages in play in Tampa.... WAY better than what they play here in Ottawa. You never hear Black Sabbath or Yes at the Scotiabank Place. They do however have the same "Big Ben" sound when they go on the power play.

When I listened to it, I did notice that I popped my "P"s a few times - a huge no-no!

Thanx for the advice Willy!

good game so far... the sens have to stay out of the penalty box...

nice rendition of the national anthems!

edit to add: who wants to mount a campaign against all these crappy corporate names for stadiums? haaaaaaaaaate it.

You can't campaign against $20 million!

I miss the days when stadiums and arenas were named for important people, a city's heritage, or the team that played there.

For me, I'm looking forward to the new releases from Neil, Tool, and Pearl Jam.

Wicked!

That was one of the most exciting games I've seen in a long time.

Couldn't stay awake for the rest of the Stars/Avalanche game, but that must have been exciting too.

Shameless Plug: One of my cronies makes and sells his own hot sauce, and it's available at many locations in and around Ottawa. It's quite good.

Mark's Psycho Sauce

Some things are much more important than the playoffs... thoughts and prayers to the Redden family.

I was indeed skeptical about the thundersticks! I thought they were a "bad luck charm".

Every time Spezza coughed up the puck last night, a guy a few seats down from me would yell "Dare to Dream, Spezza!". His jeers turned to cheers after the winning goal!

Attendance last night was announced as 19,660, which is a sellout. But I don't think it was sold out until just before game time.

Not sure what the "official" sell-out number for the Sens is, in previous seasons year it was 18,500, but this year they added a lot of standing room and some extra boxes.

They tried to repair it for 45 minutes while Auf Der Mar and Iha farted around on their instruments, then they did an acoustic Today and left. KILLED the crowd.

I remember that show. "Good night Ottawa! Sorry we sucked!".

I'll see you there!
