Freak By Night

See you there Jodie! I'll be in sec 102, row O. You can't miss me - I'll be the one with the blow and the Pabst Blue Ribbon.

Wow! He was 102. "Better living through chemistry"

It's never "crowds" that have ruined shows for me in the past. All it takes is a few "bad apples". For example: - that kid who, at his first concert ever, and drinking for probably the first time in his life, puked all over my $49.50 charcoal-gray suit. - that lady who freaked out on me for stepping on the corner of her blanket while I walked through the crowd. Your blanket is 8 feet by 8 feet, and you're sitting alone for crying out loud! - those people in lawnchairs yelling at me to sit down, then threatening violence when I don't. Jesus H. Christ dude, get up and dance! - that couple who lost it on me because I bumped into the back of their stroller. The stroller contained their baby who couldn't have been any more than 2 months old. Wait a minute, you brought your newborn to the front of the crowd at a rock concert, and I'm the bad guy? - that weirdo who grabbed my girlfriend's ass last year at the bluesfest. What's up with the sexual assault, jerkwad? - that weirdo who grabbed my ass at the Bela Fleck show (that was Booche, so it was OK) [color:purple]For these reasons, I refuse to go to any concert now without my gun. Anyone hassles me, they're face to face with Messrs. Smith & Wesson.

Rush! at the Ottawa Civic Centre Dec. 21 1977

What Basher said - Ottawa will get decent attendance for Panic. A lot of people who have not heard of WP will go because they've got festival passes. Unfortunate that Johnny Winter is on a different stage at the same time.

Some info on the Pan-am highway here. Road map of Mexico The Pan Am Highway goes right through San Jose Costa Rica. Get yourself to Laredo TX, cross the border into Mexico, and pick up the Pan-Am highway there. Have fun!

Sport Chek at the Rideau Centre.

Popped into the sportswear store at the mall last night. BIG SALE ON SENATORS WEAR!! Highlights included Wade Redden and Ray Emery T Shirts (Officially Licensed Product) now $6.99, regular price $29.99. Savings of 77% (Plenty of stock left!) By this time next year, Emery will be working at that store selling the t-shirts.

Purses down, ladies. And they do have a cranky old bastard stage. It's where I'll be sitting in my lawn chair throwing ice cubes at the young whippersnappers blocking my view.

You forgot to add "FTW" Mike.

That's the way it came formatted in the e-mail. Not sure why some artist are capitalized and others not. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to get my semi-colon into a lawnchair.

Let me be the first to post the official announcement! **************** The 2008 Cisco Ottawa Bluesfest line-up has been announced and features great acts,such as: James Taylor; Steely Dan; The Tragically Hip; Feist; Wyclef Jean; The Black Crowes; Fergie; Widespread Panic; Brian Wilson; Great Big Sea; BOZ SCAGGS; Three Days Grace; TV on the Radio; Akon; Primus; Zappa Plays Zappa; Taj Mahal; Lucinda Williams; Donna Summer; Plain White T's; Richard Thompson; Matthew Good and His Band; Don McLean; Keb' Mo'; Robert Randolph and the Family Band; Theory of a Dead Man; Blind Boys of Alabama; Joan Armatrading; Jakob Dylan; Dr. John; Canned Heat; The Secret Machines; Corb Lund, Metric; CALEXICO; Sean Kingston; The Weakerthans; The Wailers; Johnny Winter; Cassandra Wilson; Kathleen Edwards; Adrian Belew; Bettye LaVette; Shelby Lynne; Wintersleep; Allen Toussaint; Sam Roberts Band, and many more….

Here's another tip - don't freak out on somebody who steps on your child or bumps into your stroller while walking through a GA crowd in the dark. Good advice about the glow sticks Kev. Had those people at Vegoose done that with their toddler, it would have prevented an arugment and accusations of bad parenting.

and the rest are real bands? The response I was looking for was: "very animated".

It's "Dethklok". I wonder how a cartoon band will look on stage?

havinbeers!

Have a great day!

The bluesfest people have been pissing me off for years for not having a decent lawn chair policy. Tit for tat, as I always say.

Thanks! I was at that show. Jeff Tweedy complained about the low ceiling.

Charred striploin (rare) and [color:blue]chicken breasts with [color:blue]pork chops and [color:blue]leg of lamb.

I liked your paper Dima. Good work. But I liked your story about the customs officer finding your bag of used condoms even better.

That game was Dec. 31st 1975

I can't believe nobody commented on my ridiculous predictions. Is Booche sick today?

Now that we've got a coffee thread, (phishtaper, you forgot the obligatory exclamation point - e.g. Coffee! - when you started this topic ) what's everyone's opinion of Tim Horton's coffee? I personally think it's below average, and I cannot for the life of me figure out why the masses line up for it like they're at a methadone clinic.
