  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. just a few corrections here, someone else can go in-depth

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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!
