    World-famous writer Michael Ondaatje will join Canadian folk-rock artist Bruce Cockburn at a June benefit concert to raise money for jailed Algonquin uranium mine protester Bob Lovelace.

    A recipient of the Order of Canada and the illustrious Booker Prize, Ondaatje is perhaps best known as the author of The English Patient. He, Cockburn and several other artists will perform at the Artists for Bob concert at Sydenham Street United Church, 82 Sydenham St., on June 14 at 7 p.m.

    The other artists who have agreed to appear include Susan Aglukark, David Francey, Jenny Whiteley, Steven Heighton, Joey Wright, Terry Tufts, Unity and the Algonquin Drummers.

    Lovelace, a retired chief of the Ardoch Algonquin First Nation and a Queen's University lecturer, has been imprisoned for blocking prospector access to a proposed uranium mine site in North Frontenac.

    All funds raised through the concert will go to Lovelace through a trust fund.

    Unreserved seating costs $30 while limited Free Bob Lovelace Supporter tickets cost $100. They include preferred seating, an Artists For The Algonquin compilation CD, and a pass to the artist after-show party.

    Tickets are available at Brian's Record Option, Novel Idea, Tara Natural Foods and The Grand Theatre box office, located inside City Hall.

    Tickets can also be ordered by phoning 613-530-2050 or online at www.grandtheatre-kingston.com.

  2. We're on bullfrog. I don't think we pay a tonne more, but we switched over and did a lot around the house at the same time, so I think it balanced itself out. I sure feel better about my consumption with all the driving I do these days.

  3. skelter... I have the best real estate agent on the PLANET! He's been in the business for over 30 years, and is amazing to deal with. Plus, he managed to sell my house in less than 6 hours... unreal. I can message you his info, if you're interested.

    Only if you first acknowledge that I am the best real estate agent on the planet. Then I'd be glad to hear all about him :)

  4. WOWOWOWOW!

    What a great show ...

    I'm guessing we had a similar setlist ... he played a bit of Won't Get Fooled Again in the middle of Maggie's Farm which was pretty rad. There was also a song I'm guessing called 3:10 To Yuma that was great, I haven't seen the movie so I don't know if it's in it.

    Both accompanying musicians were incredible.

    Richie broke two strings, the second during Freedom, which gave us "sometimes I feel like a fffffff" which is pretty humourous.
