Ha. Good one. Is the card actually from that or was it spliced in?
On topic: I simply blown away that it's really taken this long for them to do anything meaningful about the dives that occur in this sport. I know it occurs in just about every sport, but shit, none come close to soccer.

Article I had saved a few weeks back, that I meant to share. This thread reminded me I hadn't.
QuoteThe Man Who Broke Ticketmaster
The most infamous ticket scalper of all time used bots to buy millions of tickets. Now he wants to stop them.
QuoteIn February 2005, after the band won its third Grammy of the night, U2 drummer Larry Mullen Jr. stepped to the microphone and made an announcement about the band's upcoming Vertigo tour: "Due to circumstances beyond our control, a lot of our long-suffering fans didn't get tickets," he said. "And I'd like to take this opportunity on behalf of the band to apologize for that."
There was a very specific reason die-hard fans couldn't buy tickets. Ken Lowson, the most successful and notorious ticket scalper in history, had bought nearly all of the 500 general admission tickets that were made available to the band's fan club for each show.
"When the sale dropped, we took 496 in New York, 492 in Boston, 496 in LA," Lowson, the former CEO of Wiseguy Tickets, told me in one of our many phone calls over the course of the last six months. "They apologized on the Grammys because of us, and then they had a second round of sales to make up for it. We took all the good tickets in that second round, too."

All good, when I was looking at the three routes shown on google maps they were all within 2-10 minutes of each other and relatively the same distance, and since I live west of all those places, I've never, and would most likely never be going to Montebello from Montreal. Hence, I mentioned I wasn't familiar with the traffic in and around Montreal, and that it didn't really seem like going through Ontario would save all that much time or headache, though I could be wrong. Which it appears I was. Now I know, thanks.
Only time I've been to Montebello was coming from Gatineau and we just took our time along 148, stopping in Thurso to pick someone up along the way.

Why would you want to drive through Ontario to get to Montebello, from Montreal? I may not be familiar with daily/weekend traffic in and around Montreal (I know it can be rough from my own experience), but Montebello's location just doesn't seem to look like a drive through Ontario would really save any headache, nor time. I could be wrong, but looking at a map it just doesn't seem worthwhile to me.

Tom Petty, Coco Montoya, Guy Clarke Jr. & Pokey Lafarge are the only ones I'm interested in. I imagine there are few names up there I simply don't recognize, that I'd enjoy too.
Just not enough to draw me in though. Have fun folks.
ps: I'll vouch on Pokey Lafarge as well.

QuoteWhile to some degree this was buried in the announcement regarding the forthcoming release of the Grateful Dead’s May 1977: Get Shown The Light box set, the famed Betty Boards are now officially part of the Grateful Dead vaults.
A few years ago we reported on the saga of the Betty Boards, which include more than 350 reels of Grateful Dead soundboards that found their way into a May 1986 storage auction in California’s Marin County (you can read the entire saga here). For many, of course, the Holy Grail may well be the May 8, 1977 show in Ithaca, NY at Cornell’s Barton Hall.
Archivist David Lemieux notes, “During the 18+ years I've worked with the Grateful Dead, no concert has garnered as much attention and as many requests for release as Cornell, with the New Haven, Boston, and Buffalo shows following very closely behind. For those who didn't know the history of these master tapes and about their absence from the band's vault, and for those who have, like us, lamented this hole in the collection, we join with you in celebrating what might be, minute-for-minute, song-for-song, the most high quality Grateful Dead release ever produced."
May 1977: Get Shown The Light presents 5/8/77, along with three previously unreleased performances: Veterans' Memorial Coliseum, New Haven, CT (5/5/77), Boston Garden, Boston, MA (5/7/77), and Buffalo Memorial Auditorium, Buffalo, NY (5/9/77).

QuoteOn Friday night, Pink Talking Fish headlined for the very first time at the iconic Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York. Opening the show was Reed Mathis and Electric Beethoven, which had fans quickly filling the room once they took to the stage. Funky beats and electrified jams got the night moving, massaging the audience with tasty vibes.
After a quick intermission, Pink Talking Fish took to the stage and blasted out of the gate straight into Phish’s “Harpua” before flowing into the Talking Heads’ “Psycho Killer,” which was crammed with spacey guitar and keys. Without missing a beat, the band walked right into Pink Floyd’s “In the Flesh,” making sure to hit all three of the bands that make up their name right off the bat. Turkuaz’s Sammi Garrett joined the group during a delicate performance of “Heaven.” Continuing with slowly adding members throughout the night, Kung Fu’s Adrian Tramontano took his place behind the percussion just in time for a steamrolling “Thank You For Sending Me An Angel,” which was heavy on riffs from guitarist Dave Brunyak, and pounding keys from Richard James.

This is an incredibly beautiful display of Jerry Garcia and John Kahn.
Agreed. I struggle to not claim this is better than Bob, and the song was released a mere 17 months earlier. It's so good.

Over the last few years, a group if Italian musicians called “Rockin’1000″ have made a name for themselves by staging large-scale jam sessions of popular rock anthems. The idea rose out of a crowd-sourcing campaign to get Foo Fighters to play a concert in their small town of Cesena (one which proved rather successful). Since then, they’ve staged similarly large performances of songs by The White Stripes, David Bowie, and The Black Keys.
Now, “Rockin’1000″ has shared its latest feat: Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” as performed by 1,200 singers, guitarists, bassists, and drummers. As you can see above, the resulting pro-shot video is truly something to behold. -
