Happy 420 Y'all

Hmmm weird,

You missed the 'clean underwear' jam at the end... and I didn't read this thread till today. Insert moog pitch bend here. Now insert Dr. Who bass line here. Nice. Soundtrack of my life.

Nice, I just made $50,000 in the Pope pool I enterend. Ratzi plays such tough defence, I knew he could take care of Slessinger...

~W

Man oh man,

For all intesive purposes, I just got in from this show...

Hey D-ah-d-sun, just get Castman to ride back there, he did a great job holding up the window on the way back.

Mmmm cake. Alright. Oh no.

Sheep go to heaven, goats.... go to hell.

Bahh,

Well, it was a great show... despite the ping-pong-esqe banter... it was a great show... we need more chatter... for these great shows... isn't anyone in the know? Cept for Cleary and AD? My throght kinda hurts, now for some tea.

Jomamma, wow... talk about a power set... and Chameleon Project, what a great set, teases all over the place, and despite the discussed issues at the start, you really took over and had some fun with some diverse styles.

Nautilus, great way to start the night, a real treat, but please people get there early... very danceable, but we need a push to the stage in our funny room. Or de-intraversion classes for all Canadians...

Thanks April... the fish was tasty... I hope... and the beer was fizzy.

Thanks Jay... see you at the blood bank tomorrow Remember the tray!

Thanks the the Austrian girls... though I think you were just drama students !!

Wow, this has like regressed to an acceptance speech. Well, dang... I drank a little, and my ego a little inflated... and now I appear to be a little surly... damn bi-polar ... Okay... see you tomorrow AD, if I ever get this silly 3 litre cat watering bowl to work... ahhh back to reality... this is nice.

~W

Done and done... I hope some other Jammies helped to fill the coffers!!!

Have fun at the climb, If I know I can make it I'll let you know.

~W

hmmmm? what's this? AD lemme know if your going...

~W

In... Thanks Marco, heard it here first.

Nice, Earth Day, the only holiday I feel like worshiping since I found out the truth about Santa, and the Easter bunny. Hooligans. But now that I think about it, I have a Bhuddist friend who tell me the world is an illusion too. I don't know what to do?!

See you at the show.

Mos Def in in the house, Most Definately

ugh, NO converstation regarding this post... ouch... .

~W

Anyone else got some tasty tidbits for me... the What's Cookin Series is seriously sweet. Thanks.

~W

The thing I'll miss most: Fresh Green Vegetables in Feburary (Hello Potato!!!)

The things I'll miss least: Rush Hour traffic... not knowing most of my nieghbours.

The things I look forward too: Urban Farming, real work, a chance for the planet to organize all the petrochems we've thrown into her sea of air!!

BTW anyone take Geography with Mr. Stickney in 92... It's all been said before, a long time before... I find the real problem is too many people are talking and not enough people are listening.

Anyways, I'm not going to worry... thanks to the good times... I feel fulfilled already, and I'd be happy to turn my thermostat down to help the cause..

I've found solace in local musicians who are just as talented if not more that those who fly from show to show, or organize giant state to state tours with multi-buses. Don't get me started on what 10,000,000 albums actually means to the environment, (Britney I'm looking in your direction)... man I can go on and on... but yeah, I don't want to be a problem person, I want to be a Solution person... and I think Avi Lewis of the CBC witnessed some sweet solutions down in Argentina... check out MUST SEE TV...ARGENTINA thread

~W

It's on again right now!! 1:30 am EST.

Now this is a sweet tour... and April 16th is open! hmmmm... mini tour pour moi? Q'est que c'est? C'est vrai!

~W

I'd like to think we're all VIP's

I know it's Saturday and I'm staying in... but... wow what a great show... there's still an hour left and I just had to share... memories of Quebec City, and REVOLUTION! Oh, and if your wondering how this is music related... there's a jam band in there... you can't miss em' and they rock... Oh yeah, it's on CBC Newsworld (DAMN LEFTIES... wha?!)

Peace, Work

THE TAKE

SPECIAL TWO HOUR SPECIAL: Thursday March 24, 2005 at 8pm on CBC-TV

Repeating on the Passionate Eye Sunday, April 3 and Saturday April 9 at 10pm ET/PT on CBC Newsworld

Just a few years ago, Argentina was the darling of international investors. It had a seemingly safe economy subscribing to the rules of the global market-deregulation, privatization and downsizing of social programs. And it had a leader, Carlos Menem, who was heralded as a hero in Washington. For many citizens, the dramatic economic collapse in 2001 came as a sudden shock. Tens of thousands watched their life savings disappear, while multinational banks and corporations whisked $40 billion out of the country in the dead of the night. The working and middle classes found themselves facing massive unemployment in ghost towns full of abandoned factories.

FILM WEBSITE: Visit the NFB film website.

Journalists Avi Lewis and Naomi Klein went to Argentina and found something growing in the rubble of the country’s shattered economy: a ‘do-it-yourself’ revolution, a new movement creating concrete alternatives to the global economic model.

In eight months of shooting with an international crew of activists and young filmmakers, Lewis and Klein found that Argentines did not only take over the streets-throwing out five presidents in three weeks in 2001-they also began to take over the abandoned businesses where they had once been employed. Their goal: to take matters into their own hands and re-start the machines left silent when their bosses locked the doors and fled.

THE TAKE seamlessly weaves first-hand accounts from unemployed workers and their families with a critical overview of macro-economic policies. Contrasting the failed recipe of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) with the shop floor democracy embraced by workers in their ‘recovered companies,’ the film exposes the ideology and effects of the capitalist ‘Wild West.’ It also champions a radical economic manifesto embodied in the workers’ slogan, ‘Occupy, Resist, Produce.’ But what shines through in the film is the simple drama of workers’ lives and their struggles: the demand for dignity and the searing injustice of dignity denied.

This is a fiercely engaging political thriller that pits ordinary workers against the ruling elite and the power of international corporate capitalism.

THE TAKE is directed by Avi Lewis; produced by Avi Lewis, Naomi Klein and Katie McKenna. Executive producer is Laszlo Barna, Barna Alper Productions, in association with the CBC and the NFB.

Yes, and you know where you can put those points? Hmmmm well do you?

YAR

I like the Idea of a Workshop... maybe not all the time... but since so much work goes into the stage, we might as well use it... and certainly there is enough time for some scheduled acts, and some workshop material... see you there Saturday!!!

Maggot Brain - Funkadelic

I love how invariably everyone can play this easy tune, great to pull out to remind yourself you are a part of the whole, mmmmm bugs eating your brain, sounds fun, that'll be a strange experience. Does anyone remember the Triple Guitars at Barrymores in 98 or 99? YAR!

I bought the whole Burt Neilson catalog at the show plus two other "side project" disks including the bass players "solo" album by bass player Jeremy Little called 'Olmer'. (Thanks Giggles) It's awsome. Just cut and paste this thread into the FIVE DISC CHANGER thread. Olmer is awsome... awsome... awsome. Yeah that's about right.
