  1. FUCKIN RIGHTS!! I'm so glad to hear these shows are going well. I'll be there on Friday night for Ashtray Rock, can't wait!
  2. i hate the word mangled. in the way those kitchener folks use it. i'm so glad it's not 2004 anymore when it was every second word.
  3. schwa...if you haven't heard shout out out out out, don't fear...you will freaking love them. they BLEW that tent away at hillside. They were the band of the festival...and I LOVE the slip, AND mother mother who also played. SOOOO had everyone in the whole place on their feet, on the picnic tables dancing their asses off....from age 12-50, it was AMAZING. I don't say this often anymore but seeing this band is SO worth only getting 4 hours of sleep.
  4. del's bday is oct 14, so indeed it was missed. i haven't logged in here in days or I'd have posted something. Happy Birthday Jay and see you in Jan for nero.
  5. ok, respectfully, i have a question. i've never understood why bars charge less money at the door the earlier you show up. especially when several bands are involved. i'm getting less music, less bands and paying more money for it. while i was logging in i thought maybe it's to lure people in earlier so they spend more on drinks....so what's the deal...and yes, i'm wondering this because i'll be showing up after 10 if i do and i'm cheap. and what time is this shane philips guy going on...the xavier rudd reference sold me.
  6. hey, for all your design needs, please think of for serious creations...for serious y'all. mike...you don't need to worry about staying anywhere but at allison's house. i've got the hook ups, i can get you in bro, no problem
  7. wow i can't believe there were no suggestions! if you're ever in town again, try going to one duke....it's 1 Duke St. on the corner of james and duke. very close to the GO station. their grilled veggie wrap + green salad is 8.99 and well worth it. grilled zuch., eggplant, porto, red peps, onion and other yummy stuff and a good mixed green salad. so yummy. my friend and i had those and a pitcher of sangria. good sangira. i wouldn't mind going back on a wednesday night. a pitcher of sangria, brushcetta, and quesidilas $22.
  8. basher did it look like they had a bunch of ticket left...i was thinking of heading into the city to grab a couple one day this week.
  9. [color:red]Blaze o's puttin out
  10. crow and tara are probably still drowning in wedding gifts. and i'm pretty sure that party shack is closed. thankfully, my party shack might just be open, and it's 10-15 minutes closer to the bar.
  11. real name of a client at a former work place Anita Hoel
  12. I've been asked to pass along to all my "stoner friends" and figured this would be the fastest way to do that. It's of a one armed man rolling one up and was shot by or at the toronto compassion club. sorry, i don't know how to embed, and i know there's a youtube forum, but i bet a lot of people overlook it.
  13. i would so go, in a fucking heart beat. and pay 40 for the pleasure. and i'd pray to god it was on a weekend.
  14. when is my "you have new PT" flashing folder going to stop flashing when i don't have new ones. it hasn't stopped blinking in 3 weeks.

    Whiskey

    i was at the liquor store friday to pick up a bottle of wild turkey. they were handing out samples of forty creek whiskey. "the number one seeling canadian whiskey" the chick handing out was calling. i thought i'd try it. i'd read about it awhile ago, the man who owns kittling ridge winery created forty creek whiskey. it was pretty good actually. i'd just tried some canadian classic reserve the night before and it wasn't to my taste. forty creek has a similar taste (in my recollection) to wisers...but i'd be interested in doing a side by side sampling. at 23.00 for 750 mls, it's worth a try.

    Greekfest

    i did my first greekfest in toronto this past weekend. and granted, i was only there for about an hour, hour and a half tops. and granted i didn't really see everything. and granted my friends i drove almost 2 hours with traffic to hang with never picked up their phone, forcing me to completely alter my plans. and granted, my retrospective is tainted by the memory of the $30 parking ticket i got when i returned to my car... that being said, i so wasn't impressed. all the food seemed to be the same thing. kabobs, souvlaki plates, or gyros. a gyro is a meal....how many gyros can a person eat? i had the impression going into it that the taste of the danforth was about selling cheap $1-3 tasting sized versions of what they normally sell. hence the getting to taste the entire danforth. and while i know it's pretty much all greek food, i guess i expected more choice than which type of meat i wanted. there were no bathrooms anywhere, the crowds weren't TOO bad, but there were definitely a few volume delays in pedestrian traffic. and then there were the line ups - some were winding, and 100+ people long. the only things that didn't have line ups were the baklava stands, and the people selling various objects that had seizure inducing rapidly flashing lights shining through their little clear plastic casings. i might sound like it, but i'm not bitter on greekfest. i just think the same thing a bunch of other people think, it's gotten a bit too big, and more organization needs to happen to accodate a gathering of that many people and have it run smoothly. i'd go again, but i'd either go early in the morning and avoid the crowds and the hot sun since there aren't many places to sit down, or go at night and get wasted so i don't notice the herding of cattle effect of moving from one place to another. oh yeah... and i'd defnitely park somewhere else and take the subway. i knew i should have done that!
  17. yeah TLG was pretty busy. not soulive busy, but pretty full, beyond that it was an amazing show. and i think it was $18....better venue, cheaper ticket...I'm in!
  18. i knew i felt a trip to ottawa brewin in my blood.
  19. you know.....and this is going to sound CRAZY coming from me....but guilting people into doing things doesn't often work! that being said...if i'm not passed out by 10 30 maybe i'll stop by.
  20. everyone should check out electroluminescent too. that guy is the poops.
  21. ooo, wish i could make it out to this. and for those in doubt, check out the spades!!!
