And finally, we'll see them without being crammed into the Horseshoe like sardines.

Will may be happy to know they're doin a mean version of "The Agenda" song these days.

Oh Canada! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Antibalas will be driving across Canada in late June! Be sure to catch them! 6/22 Sugar, Victoria, BC 6/23 Commodore Ballroom, Vancouver, BC 6/24 The Gateway Lounge, Calgary, AB 6/26 Bessborough Gardens, Saskatoon, SK 6/27 Pyramid Cabaret, Winnipeg, MB 6/29 Phoenix Concert Theatre, Toronto, ON

It's Tapas style these days, so the more people you go with, the better. Weekends you need a reservation for sure, otherwise be prepared to wait awhile. You will want to order everything on the menu, and be sure to save room for dessert. Its not cheap- but the food is triple A! The food is sexy! They serve dishes up that come to the table looking like master artworks- the ones you see in gourmet magazines- and they all taste even better than they look. Salivating just thinking about it. Any carnivore that can eat there and not even slightly entertain thoughts of becoming vegan has fried thier taste buds.

When Mount Pinatubo erupted 16 years ago in the Philippines it cooled the Earth for about a year because the sulfate particles in the upper atmosphere reflected some sunlight. Several leading scientists, from Nobel Laureate Paul Crutzen to the late nuclear cold warrior Edward Teller, have proposed doing the same artificially to offset global warming: Using jet engines, cannons or balloons to get sulfates in the air, humans could reduce the solar heat, and only increase current sulfur pollution by a small percentage, said Tom Wigley of the National Center for Atmospheric Research. Suppressing the near ultraviolet (UV) spectrum is a horrifically misguided idea, because many insects including honey bees depend upon UV radiation to select flowers and other plants for feeding upon.[iv] If the flower is not illuminated by UV, they will reject it for feeding.[v] Given this reality, substantially decreasing ambient UV levels, as depicted in the summary above, could cause flowers to no be longer “illuminated†by UV; and could destroy the ability to feed of many insects, including honey bees and other pollinators upon which our agriculture depends. Further, honey bees[vi], numerous insects including monarch butterflies,[vii] and many other animals[viii] rely upon UV radiation for direction finding—everything from the dance of the honey bee to long distance bird migration.[ix] Quoting one source: For example, it is now known that while honey bees do not possess the fine-grained retinal mosaics of humans, they can navigate with precision by optically scanning the sky's polarization patterns through their ultraviolet receptors.[x] Above is an excerpt taken from here and is a read I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

To think, all the zillions spent, and the war on drugs is still a losing battle... Take a look at the winners! Here we are, groovin at shows, hitting the bong, reading the boards, and WE'RE WINNING A WAR!

"Welcome to Mordor...can I take your order?"

See you at the top Todd. (assuming we make it) Nice fundraising by the way!

The show ended after 3 AM. If sharing the drums would have meant a drum tech tuning the kit in between sets, it would have taken time away from the NRPS sets.

More than pleasantly suprised! Amazing show, ended after 3 AM! N.R.P.S. played many favorites, yet left out a few notables, which I expect tonight's crowd will get to enjoy the heck out of. Some great covers last night, all can look forward to an interesting set at The Silver Dollar. Buddy Cage's tasty, searing pedal steel licks and backup chops had me mesmerized. Something like Mike Auldridge meets Robert Randolph with a hint of panama red = Shredder! I wasn't the only one in the crowd boogie'n hard and grinning ear to ear. The whole band was super tight, with eyes closed at times; it took on a true JGB or Grateful Dead vibe. Took me back many years. You'd be crazy to miss tonight's show if you missed last night!!!

Last nights New Riders show at PJC was AMAZING!

Pre rolled and ready... A minute to go! Countdown...!

The Canadian Charter. Read it, know it, defend it. From Section 24 of the Charter:

Hard to believe, apparently Blue Mountain is opening one more time this season: $10 bucks, sunshine, spring conditions... Doesn't get much better than that!

Killer show, boogied harder than I have in awhile. Seems all that positive vibration cracked a hole in the clouds too! Yee hah!

If its Corning Pyrex, then you are home free. Examples of the official mark:

Anyone else considering camping at Mara Provincial Park for the occasion? (5 minute drive south of the Casino, on Lake Simcoe)

http://www.mikadorestaurant.ca/ Location- thats the catch- Mikado is on Laird, South of Eglington. More or less in the middle of nowhere. They do not deliver. Everything there is amazing, including veg choices. Personal veg faves- Horenso Goma, Agedashi Dofu, Nasumiso. The snow pea, shitake, and asparagus nigri are sooo goood! Damn I'm making myself hungry!

Calamity Jane, If you put your cups in the recycle bin, they will likely be reprocessed into a park bench or a road pylon or something. Drop 'em at Sally Ann and they will get recycled too. Broken glass: Cheaper glass tends to break easily and shatter into a bigger mess when it breaks. Pyrex (borosilicate) glass on the other hand is tough, if and when it breaks, is generally easy to clean up. Real Pyrex glass is also temperature and stress resistant. (which is why it is the same kind of glass used to blow most heady glass pipes) Corning, who invented the Pyrex recepie, stopped making Pyrex glass in 1988, and began licensing the name to other makers. These other makers use a cheaper form of glass but sell product under the Pyrex name. Total scam. It is NOT temperature and stress resistant. Don't bother buying the new, save your cash, and go for older used Corning Pyrex stuff when you can find it. (or get your heady glassblowing buddy to make you some custom kitchenware using Borosilicate glass) You can get coffe mugs, glasses, plates, mixing bowls, measuring cups, roasting pans, coffe percolators, pots, all made from Corning Pyrex, often find them at garaj sales, second hand stores, and of course, online.

Pre-show consideration: The Creaking Tree String Quartet plays the Cadillac Lounge next Tuesday. No cover. First set starts at 8:30 sharp. The Caddy Lounge is a quick streetcar ride along Queen to The Opera House.

Tight schedule, AAA+ sound.

Ouch. The Jedi are going to feel this one.
