  1. It might be subjective but I would have never paid $500 for just a Concert Ticket no matter who was playing. Yes I have spent $1000 on a Weekend in New Orleans to see 3 Panic shows but that includes 3 nights, plane tickets, hotel rooms etc etc. Or I may have spent $1500 on the road over 2 weeks following the Dead around but never that much for one night.

    Consumers are to blame for the rise in concert ticket pricing. They agree to pay these exorbitant amounts. And those that have paid that much for a Dead or Phish ticket are just as stupid or more because they are paying the scalpers those fees. Face value pricing for Jam Band type shows have never gone that far out of reach.

    The Nickelback Rockstar Package for $495 Oh My!!! Why are people so stupid as to spend what amounts to probably a weeks pay for most for 2.5 hours of so-called entertainment.

    Crazy f*cking consumers.

    why did people give up everything to tour with the dead or phish for what amounts to 2.5 hours of entertainment?

    people have paid WAY more than that to see phish or the grateful dead. its all subjective..

  2. Our Brantford branch just closed for the day as well. I guess it's not getting any better down South.

    London just closed it's doors as well. In the 5 years that I have been here we have never had 3 branches close in 1 day. I imagine Waterloo will be next.

  3. Ollie,

    I'm playing eye spy here but is that a Wireless AV sender that you are using with this old monitor. Have you had any issues with it?? I've got one in a box somewhere that I bought from the Source for $50 that I never actually used. Been thinking about using it to send a signal to the bedroom from downstairs. I'm just wondering how it interferes with all the other Wireless crap in the house. I don't want to go out and buy a TV and find out that the signal being fed to it is terrible.

    I still have all my old C-64 equipment. Most of it is mothballed but I still use this guy as my bedroom TV. The picture looks as good as the day I bought it.

  4. WE have done all of our shopping for the twins online this year. They are 28 months and we did not want anymore plastic crap in the house.

    The Melissa & Doug toys are nice educational alternatives. Chapters has a bunch but its tricky to find stock. Cape Breton Baby Company has a great selection of non commercial Walmart type toys.

    There's lots of smaller independently run toy stores out there it just takes time to find them all.

  5. Thanks for the link. I thought we had a political forum but my bookmark leads directly into the Sanctuary so I wouldn't have found it, lol.

    Too bad reading through the posts in the link have left me even more confused about our future.

    Fcking Eh!! This is Canada I suppose.

  6. K, feeling a little naive here. I am much more aware of what is happening South of the border sometimes. Can this proposed coalition actually accomplish anything??

    I'm really not sure what this means moving forward. Dion will be in charge until the Libs vote in May. He won't be a PM though will he. Whose a Poli Sci major that can fill me in on the nitty gritty.
