Siegfried goes on his solo tour entitled "Ziggy Stardust: Jedi Magician"...

why wouldnt the beer store just start delivering???

Yeah, they do that here in Calgary...I use it very little but always marvel at the mere thought of home delivery.

Blane, I'm not actually sure. I did a google search for "burning dvd audio" and saw this somewhere. Some folks in a few forums I read mentioned it. There seems to be a wealth of software available, it's just a question of which one to use I suppose.

Here is an article i just came accross: http://www.tape.com/techinfo/dvd_audio.html

CyberTrev,

Came up on this: http://www.ulead.com/bn/runme.htm

I'm sure there are free packages or *ahem* cracks and such...

I saw them a couple of years ago and thought they were great. Previously I had seen them around '95. I think they are still worth seeing for sure...if you liked them in the first place that is.

For the last two years running, I've turned mine on during the folk fest here in Calgary. The only time they EVER get turned on is during folk fest too. We usually hang on the front stoop with the lights on and PAAARTay! Can't wait for that weekend again...if anyone is coming to calgary near the end of July, and wants to party and hit up the folk fest, I live right accross the river...come one come all...I'll even turn on the x-mas lights for ya!!

merry humbug, Douglette.

awesome idea! won't be there but it sounds great...Ill be interested to hear how this goes down.cheers.

A Particular Wave - Fern

I have some old Particular Wave tapes kickin around somewhere...

Sounds good, Kev. We will hook up for some brewski action for sure then...Sunshine was pretty awesome today as well. We managed to find this nice little pocket of fresh stuff that we played in all day. Was a great half day!! See ya later in the week.

Moyo Combo at Lake Louise on Saturday. Skiing, Music, Beer. Mmmmmm... ::

They're going back for more eh? Good for them! I assume you're going?

We're just trying to figure out if its possible for us to take off work and go for a half day at Sunshine today...snow just keeps on falling!!

you still havent been to Chatham yet.

Some day, Some day. I HAVE to experience this place. After all the people Ive met from there, it HAS to be one of the weirdest places. I'm IN.

Wow. That was a great read!! I lived in the area for a little over 10 years and after reading that, I NEED to go back for a little visit. It would be worth it to go for the Giardano's and Portillos alone, but there is something special about that city for sure. I've been to every major city on the eastern side and a good handful in between and in the west...HANDS DOWN the best city. Clean, cultured, beautiful, curious and scrumdidilyumptious! I miss that town and all my great friends still there. Glad to hear she provided well for you cats...gonna have to get there this summer me thinks..Cheers.

IE only...not firefox friendly?

Yeah, I noticed that last night as well. I grabbed the free SBDs and am quite happy with them! Don't normally do the *gasp* mp3 thing but good music is good music!

I thought these guys were pretty good too. There were moments that totally remided me of JSB (in subtle ways). Woth checking I think...as well, I believe they are an East side band which makes them more interesting to some (most) around here!

So if I was to listen to one of their albums, which would you cats recommend?? Just ONE...

So let me preface this by saying that I love the outdoors. I am very much in love with the Canadian Rockies and have spent countless hours/days/months/years playing out here. Recently, I've been reading the series of books put out by Sid Marty:

Men for the Mountains:

Leaning on the Wind: Under the Spell of the Great Chinook:

Switchbacks: True Stories of the Canadian Rockies

All of these are wonderfully written books and I highly recommend them to anyone, especially if you've spent any time in Western Alberta/Eastern BC parks and wilderness. I'm sure they are available at any local library. If you need a suggestion for which one to start with, try "Switchbacks". Apparently he also has a web page

Go to the Berghoff Bar

Go eat Deep Dish pizza at Giardono's

Go eat Italian Beef at Portillo's

Buddy Guy's is an excellent choice

Go to Greek Town and get the best damn Gyro man has to offer

Get high and drive through Lower Wacker

Go hang out in wrigglyville

There are a number of INCREDIBLE museums to visit.

Go to a Bulls game

yeah wheres the canmore show solarG? GET ON IT!!

The show is pretty fu©ked up. It may surface at some point but it really requires a lot of work to get out. Many pops that need to be removed...probably hundreds? I don't know for sure. So, when I have some time on my hands, I'll certainly try to fix it up!!

Just a heads up to all you Canmore, Banff, Calgary folk that might be lurking. Slammin Jack will be at the Canmore Hotel tonight and tomorrow night. Then I believe its Edmonton and then Calgary on thursday, at Broken City.

Cheers, its Friday!!

damnit bouche! that avatar makes you look like a gooned up Phil Lesh.

and as for you, Booche. Good for you buddy, what kid doesn't have a "my drunk uncle" story. You're nurturing ways continue to inspire me each day!

I think JRoc's solution to the rat problem goes with this thread as well...

As for Canadians not celebrating good things that come from here, I would disagree. The real problem is how people find mediocre homegrown talent to be better than it actually is, based on the idea that they're "supporting Canadian talent".

whoa, where is zero when ya need him ... i see this statement and i can't help but remember the days of yore

Nice rant by the way. Nothing like the quality of television to bring out the fun!!

We use the coarse sea salt variety for cooking around here...the stuff is absolutely amazing! Makes steak even better...highly recommended.

dagnabbit! It'll be fun to see you dirt bags back out this way

There is some Band and related shows over on www.eastytree.org available for download. Just search the "The Band" and see what pops up....
