Well, I don't know them and I don't get the inane jab, but I don't mind being called dumb by an idiot.

How was the Supergrass and Primal Scream sets? Both bands kick major ass. Any pics?

I'm looking forward to it.

Hey Dave, I submitted my MMJ review two days after the concert - to another website that I work for - and they finally posted it about four days ago, long after the iron went cold. Here it is though: http://www.soundproofmagazine.com/Canada/Live/My_Morning_Jacket_Kool_Haus.html

I was out and about around Christina's at the same time as you were yesterday too. I was across the street near The Brass Taps pub and Mr. Greek. For a pint or two near the Music Hall, I should have recommended Dora Kehogh's right beside Allen's. It's about as authentic an Irish pub as you'll find on this side of the pond (and both pubs are owned by the same Irishman) - right down to not having any waiters or TV's. However, some of their non-Irish bartenders are a-holes. BTW, the house ale is Amsterdam. Yes, write a review of the show.

I got drunk just by reading that. Nice work Todd!

"The Docks" is under new ownership and they've revamped the entire venue, especially acoustics and soundproof-wise - see the messy noise feud with the Island folks.

Where did you end up eating and drinking MarcO? How was your night and Mr. Thompson?

With all the worry about the Panic canceling etc..., how full did the venue get? Capacity, near-capacity?

Jimmy's still at his best in The Aquarium Rescue Unit.

I'm a monster big fan.

This is nothing short of perfection and I think the title track is one of the greatest folk songs ever written:

Nice job Alan! I'd love to see The Soundtrack Of Our Lives/Pearl Jam do a double-bill playing only Who covers. Both channel The Who like few other bands can, including The Jam.

One down and one more to go... and maybe could someone (Booche) post that picture of Davey Boy in passed out Jesus Christ Pose from, I think, one of the early CTMF's?

Well, Christina's is the most famous (and one of the most reliable) of the Greek restaurants on The Danforth. Astoria is also good and has amazingly HUGE portions. I haven't been too impressed with Myth. Trapezzi is of the higher- end Greek restaurant, but if you avoid getting an appetizer, then it all evens out. The newly renovated Omonia has a nice looking street corner patio and gets good ratings (I haven't eaten there yet) and Papa's is a good place too. There's around 50 Greek-themed restaurants within a 15 minute walk, so if you get to Riverdale early enough - and I recommend that you find free side street parking just south of Danforth off of Broadview - then just go for a nice walk and pick a spot - and most places have nice patios. I don't think you can go wrong with my suggestions though. Oh yeah, there's a diner type Greek restaurant called Asteria on the north side of Danforth not too far from the Music Hall. You can see the chef cooking the giant portioned souvlaki at the front window... and they look fabulous.

I love that picture. Someone please find and post that gay picture of Hux in the leather vest and that one of zero/kung in that Phil Collins shirt at the concert... just for old-times sake.

I'm dropping you off at The Black Swan with you wearing nothing but a rainbow flag and carrying a I HATE BLUES sign.

With that kind of price range, I'd go to Allen's. It is an Irish pub, but the menu is anything but Irish. The wine, scotch, Irish whiskey and botted beer list is staggeringly HUGE and the food is fucking good. Here's the link to their website: http://www.allens.to/allens/menus.shtml BTW, you may want to give them a call and book a reservation. Most of the restaurants in that area will be packed because of the show and Sunday is a big night out for folks living in the area. And if you don't want to eat there, just skip up to Willow or better yet, there's an awesome Mexican restaurant called La Cabana just a 10 minute walk east from the Music Hall - same side of the street as Allen's, Willow and The Music Hall - at Logan. They make everything fresh and homemade, and it's run by real Mexicans.

His solo acoustic work is really impressive, especially in a small venue or a bar. I saw Martin do an open mic set at The Duke of Gloucester in Toronto a number of years ago and he fucking killed. My girlfriend, now wife, wanted me to go up and play after his set and I said: " You have to be fucking kidding me."

And here I thought every question was your kind of question. Ha ha! In most cases they are my friend.

I wrote that on the quick. Correction confirmed. Thanks.

FYI, Martin Tielli is/was one of the leaders of The Rheostatics and one hell of a guitarist and singer-songwriter.

You can't buy out Joey since it would be under cap restrictions and they still don't have enough players to fill out their roster.

I live on Broadview near the Music Hall and have been in many of the restaurants in the area. This is my kind of question. You can grab some really affordable food at the New York Cafe at the corner of Broadview and Danforth - it's an old fashioned diner, but the beer is cheap and the menu is pretty diverse. Beside the NY Cafe on Broadview is a small fish and chips place called Deep Blue that got NNNNN in a Now review. I've eaten there and loved it. Great prices, but no liquor license. The Old Nick beside the Danforth Music Hall has a pretty good pub menu as well. I concur that Allen's is excellent. Try their chicken curry: it's fucking good. There's around 70 restaurants within a 10 minute walk near the Music Hall, so if you have something in mind, let me know. Of course there's plenty of Greek food to be had, but there's some excellent Indian, Thai, Chinese and Japanese restaurants too - and a few Italian places. The Globe Bistro across the street is a 5-star restaurant. I'd avoid at all costs The Black Swan. It's a scary dive. Mambo is a good Cuban restautant across the street from the Music Hall. Embrujo Flamenco, beside the New York Cafe at the corner of Broadview and Danforth has excellent tapas, but it's a little pricey. If you are in the mood for Tex-Mex, try Willow, which is a few stores down Danforth on the same side of the street as the Music Hall.

They've just signed Italian league PG Roko Ukic, their 2nd round pick in the 2005 draft. He looked good this past year in Europe and will be their back-up PG, unless of course they still go out and get another player or the unlikely chance that a summer league player beats Ukic out as the #2.
