Freak By Night

"...at this time I feel the most important thing I can do in my life is to reconnect with the three F's. Friends, Family, and Faith."

at the expense of the fourth F: Five million dollars!

My only complaint about that band was the complete absence of any backing and harmony vocals. That's what the Grateful Dead was all about - 3 strong singers, and how about that Phil Lesh?

But the singer for Not Dead Yet was really good on his own, and the overall musicianship, especially the bass playing, was top notch!

Thanks so much everyone! A fun evening, great band!

I had been up since 5:30 am yesterday, so by the time midnight rolled around, I was done! Slept in a bit this morning.

Yep, I agree, those are quite valid reasons for the schedule change. I'm looking forward to the lineup announcement.

Hopefully this means more Moistboyz material will surface.

Thanks everyone!

I'll never tire of that dog picture.

The best present so far has been the absence of an office boardroom party with a horrible Costco cake with edible oil product icing.

My wife is probably preparing a cake for me with icing made from butter and cream. mmmmmmm....

Hopefully, big enough to support all those candles!

Seems to me the folkfest organizers don't realize labour day is on the 3rd, not the 10th!

What about folktronica?

It will be my birthday, and I'll be there!

I hope some of you fine board members will help celebrate.

At my age, it's great to be "Not Dead Yet".

Happy belated dude!

Thanks again Bouche, the whole evening was a real scream. And I mean that literally!

Hopefully the Coyotes will win a game in LA so we might see more shots of Tippett.

Now this is uncanny... in the pre-sales last week, I bought two tickets for the show in Toronto, and four tickets for the show in Montreal. Here are my seat locations:

Toronto: Section 102, row C, seats 5-6

Montreal: Section 102, row C, Seats 7-10

A sad day for rock & roll for sure.

Dunn was indeed part of Neil's band at that epic '93 concert with Blues Traveler, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. Good times.

33 years ago today, in the 6th game of the semi-finals, the Boston Bruins took a "too many men on the ice" penalty with 2:34 remaining in the 3rd period. The Habs scored on the the ensuing power play, and the rest is history!

You're most welcome!

Well I went to Aubrey's after work today to get some meat. The staff was very friendly! I was on my bicycle so I only picked up a few items. 50% on the gift card, 50% cash.

If you thought I was magnanimous before Ollie, wait 'til you read my interview in the newspaper. A reporter from the Citizen was interviewing people on their way out of the store. He asked if I was angry about the whole coupon situation. I didn't have anything negative to say at all, he asked a few leading questions but I didn't bite. We'll see if he quotes me, it seemed to me his scathing article was already written.

I've concluded that unless you move to the deep forest and eat only moss from atop the rocks, you'll be exposed to carcinogens of some kind.

The best one can do is not smoke, eat only whole and unprocessed foods, avoid plastic, and maintain a positive mental attitude.

If the thunder don't get ya, then the lightning will!

Playing on May 22nd here in Ottawa.

My mistake, it's not actually on Iris St. It's on Cobden, which intersects Iris about halfway between Woodroffe and Pinecrest.

Here is their website: http://briansbutchery.com

I agree Ollie, the whole situation has left me with a bitter taste for Aubrey's.

But the meat is excellent, and I'll use up the rest of my coupon which I think is about $80.

I can appreciate that a combination of mismanagement and bad luck put them in this mess, and I certainly wish Aubrey's nothing but success. But I've been taking my business to Brian's on Iris in the west end, closer to home, free parking, decent prices the friendly people working there are always enthusiastic to chat about music!

Let me know when he gets back to the horror.

(j/k that was a great read!)

Good luck Matt. The prices I've seen on the resale sites (stubhub, ticketsnow) for that June 2nd show are obscene.

craigslist or kijiji may be your best bet, but you'll have to meet the seller in person, which is kind of difficult for a show over 400km away.

Might be able to help out... PM will be on the way to you shortly!

Next season is gonna make this season seem like last season.

The biggest disappointment last night?

No riot.
