  1. Despite the lameness of this thread's title, The Ottawa Jazzfest show is now officially listed on pollstar.com:

    Robert Plant sets his June schedule, bringing more Band Of Joy to the U.S. and Canada.

  2. My experiences as Wasaga Beach are best described by the song "Research at Beach Resorts" by Max Webster:

    hot sun and tan

    yeah, dontcha just scream

    boy, what sand

    sand sand sand

    say cheese

    paddle boats surf ladies in shorts

    up and down the coast we coast

    yeah, we cry

    research at beach resorts

    line up crowds at the pavilion

    Max is playing "Vacations"

    we're in newport for research

    to get abreast of thing

    to get get a breast of things

    take your tourist toys to the concert

    we've just researched wasaga beach

    bonfire pits at midnight

    hangover eyes at sunrise six

    what is it that we stare at?

    is it the passports and campsite stars?

    or the monogrammed bikinis and cars?

    or maybe we just need some perspiration 'cause we're frostbitten Canadian boys

    put on your sunglasses

    get in on the parade

    we're gonna cruise the beach

    we just might get crazed

  3. The news article I saw said he's donating $1 for each ticket sold to earthquake relief.

    Mighty generous of him!

    I don't see the appeal of following the antics of this jerkwad. Is your life so devoid of sex and drugs that you have to live vicariously through Charlie?

  4. I've heard good stuff about Sanderson Roofing from two of my neighbours. My roof needs re-shingling this spring, I'm going to call them for an estimate.

    My roof has been in rough shape for a while. Last summer there was no shortage of handymen knocking on my door and offering their roofing services. They would leave their name and cell phone number. I would not recommend anyone like this at all. They seem like the guys Mike Holmes warns you about on his show.

    For any major home renovation work I go with well-established companies who have actual business addresses.

  5. Location: Anytime the local media does a survey of Ottawa's eyesores, the City Centre building consistently ranks at the top of the list. It's an industrial wasteland. DiRienzo's is across the street from a park.

    Variety: DiRienzo's sells rolling papers and other grocery items. That's one-stop shopping!

    Service: DiRienzo's gave us free t-shirts a few years ago.
