We took the bus to Newport and walked in from there, got to our campsite at around 10pm on the 12th... no camping-on-the-side-of-the-Interstate story there.

I was at Coventry. Who else?

Cathy the Owlette and I will be there. Heck, I'll even pay for my copy of the album in advance. By the way, are you still occasionally sitting in at Humphreys? See ya'll on 15 September... Hoot-fookin'-hoot!

Cathy the Owlette and I are seriously considering going to moe.down at the end of August. Problem is, we don't have our own transportation. Is there anyone who would have a spare couple spaces in their car / van / bus? We will gladly pay our share of gas. (Note: Cathy is supposed to be starting a new job in September, so there's still an off-chance we're not going, but we're aassuming we will be going at this point. We'll keep you up to date...)

Awesome... I've been there, I just don't know how to describe getting there to someone who has never been there before...

Cathy the Owlette and I expect to be there... is there anyone else who will have room intheir cooler for someone (maybe us, I'm not sure) to toss a six-pack into? Also, can someone pass on the exact address to me (via [color:red]Private Topics) so I can invite a couple other friends?

Mike 'n' Sharon -- Congrats on your nuptials! You're an awesome couple, and you've got our best wishes for the years to come -- may a thousand blessings be yours. Steve the Owl and Cathy the Owlette

I'm definitely gonna try to make the Ottawa show... thanx for the heads-up!

Me too, man... me too...

"I've Never Been to Me" by Charlene comes to mind...

Scent of a Mule.

I nearly forgot... the Avant-Garde bar on Besserer Street here in Ottawa makes a pretty nice Absinthe martini. Purists may kvetch, but I liked it!

I'm giving it some serious thought... but I can't make any promises...

I heard her interviewed on CBC's Sunday Edition last fall... she's apparently riled the religious right for suggesting that Christianity's rituals were at one time a little more, well, fun (to use Dr_Evil_Mouse's word, although I recall something about Christ eating and drinking with sinners, I wonder if we're missing something these days)... thanks for reminding me that this is a book I've been wanting to read. As for the question at hand, I like living on the peripheries of this community where I can exchange ideas and experiences... the rest I just chalk up to being a fun-hog.

Does Disney's Fantasia count? Really, I've had some good times with that one... :thumbup:

Hey -- congrats on the new pup! By the way, did I tell you we got three (yes, three) new guinea pigs last fall? Utter Mawnshtersh! Have fun! Life is too short not to share it with the other wise and wonderful creatures of our little planet!

Smoking isn't so cool to me now...

Wow... the cool thing is that it really does look like him -- except for the white tshirt -- unlike that thing with the Virgin Mary on it that I think looked more like Marlene Dietrich...

Due to the passing of one near and dear to me, I'm really late getting word about about this... hope those of you in Ottawa can make it! The Dusty Owl Reading Series Presents Melissa Laveaux Sunday 18 February 5pm The Electric Gallery 30 Marier Ave. (off Beechwood, in Vanier) No Cover To heat up the February cold snap, soulfunk musician Mélissa Laveaux is coming to the Dusty Owl stage this month, and bringing her unique brand of funk-folk guitar and classy vocals with her. Mélissa was mentioned as one of the 2006 ‘Frémissements locaux’ ("local noise-maker") in Voir's annual music review. She also received two Ottawa XPress ‘Best of Ottawa’ nominations for 2006: Best Folk Musician and Best Album of the Year. The new album Camphor & Copper has been receiving great reviews from Germany to back home in Ottawa. If you missed her feature at Capital Slam this November, now's your chance to hear the voice that's causing the stir! Please note: Due to ongoing repairs at Swizzles Bar & Grill, we are still on the road. This month's show will be happening at the Electric Gallery (30 Marier Ave., just off Beechwood Ave in Vanier; check their website for directions.) It might be a little off the beaten path but this space is a whole lot of fun and we're excited to be visiting! After the reading, as always, there will be an open mike for anyone who wants to bring poems, stories, or songs, and the Dusty Owl's famous Object of Desire contest. See you there!

Be good... be well...

Whatever you're having, I'll have a double...

Then there's this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5RBSJCmk-Q&NR

Cool, but I like this better... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LAZgcC3jgo

In Your Wildest Dreams -- Moody Blues. Is that sappy enough?

This would have been really helpful before X'tmas...
