It's not as if MLS is a huge success in places other than Toronto. Location has a big part in TFC's success.

There's stuff going on on Friday and Saturday with folks from Ottawa making a music and taco pilgrimage.

You also told Les Paul you were "learning jazz" No no no, I told him "I don't know how to play jazz".

Geez, I hope they don't build outside of the city. The great thing about going to Toronto FC games is that you can walk to the stadium and the nearness of King and Front Streets, and the downtown location of BMO is the envy of most MLS teams that play in the 'burbs (I check out the MLS forums semi-regularly).

I'm almost finished the album and I'm recommending it for fans of Jon Spencer too.

I think it's wonderful that you are adopting Ethiopian kids Irie.

I'm listening to this raw garage-blues duo right now called The Speaking Tongues and am still somewhat surprised that they are from Toronto. If you like The Black Keys, early Chess Muddy Waters, The White Stripes, R.L. Burnside and the heaviest blues band I've ever heard, The Immortal Lee County Killers, then this band is for you: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=104333830

Friday: Los Lobos @ Massey Hall Saturday: The Swell Season @ Massey Hall (see The Swell Season thread)

This is disturbing: http://celebedge.sympatico.msn.ca/Frances+Cobains+Suicidal+16/Dramarama/ContentPostingDramarama3column?isfa=1&newsitemid=519c25fa-8ec1-48de-abaf-d4e0408a952a&feedname=RYAN_PORTER_GOSSIP&show=False&number=0&showbyline=False&subtitle=&detect=&abc=abc&date=False

This is awful news, but I'm relieved that his battle with cancer was a short one. R.I.P.

I still think that La Cabana on the Danforth is one of the best kept secrets for Mexican food in the city. It's affordable and has great atmosphere, plus if you don't want to go there, there's three other Mexican-themed restaurants within a five-minute walk.

I've only seen their new video. I disliked the song and the video.

I believe tacos are on Friday Jay. Pre-drinks will go on as scheduled day-of.

"Stay thirsty my friends."

I believe there's a car or two leaving on Friday.

If I don't have a taco or two, I'll be watching you eat whilst drinking Dos Equis and hopefully doing a good fascimile of the best commercial on TV:

I'm thinking a good spot for pre-show drinks is upstairs at the Imperial/Library Pub at Dundas & Victoria.

I just watched the fight on TSN. Heck of a fight and the ref made the right call in stopping it. In 35 years of watching boxing, I don't think I've ever seen a fight ended on a sliced open mouth. Wow. I'm glad I'm at work and didn't see the fight in HD.

Yes I know he was traded, but his bat couldn't keep Johnny Mac out of the line-up; why would Inglett be any different unless J.P. makes a deal.

It depends if Cito likes Inglett at short better than Eckstein, since Cito certainly is a Johnny Mac fan.

3-run blast from Snyder. That kid's future looks bright.

We'll have to set-up some kind of get-together on Saturday and even Friday. My place is wide-open on Friday due to my musically misguided wife's involvement in attending the NKOTB show that night.

I'll see you on Saturday, and perhaps Friday when you roll into town looking for tacos.

I still think for pure burritos, New York Sub at Queen and Bathurst is the best I've had in the city (and at the best price too). The more expensive burritos there are just that much more impressive.
