Ditto -- if there are any extras, let me know. This is a show I want to go to 100%

Hey Jodie! I hope you had a great birthday!!

Mary

All the best to you TimmyB! You're a stand-up guy.

I really miss that woman's blazer of Mike's....

ahhhhhaahaahaahaaaa! what a photo!

My sister picked up this book for me in NYC this weekend -- I started it last night/today and it is.... AWESOME!!! Sooooo great to have a killer book like this to read on these cold wintery days.

Although my sis' story about trying to buy the book is quite funny/shocking -- when she asked to buy the "Slash" autobiography, the person helping her at the book store first said "What's it called?" -- she said "Slash" -- and then bookstore employee said "Who's it by?" -- my sis said, again, "Slash". This girl/idiot working at the store HAD NO IDEA WHO SLASH WAS. Jesus, save us all.

Happy Birthday, Tasha!

Awesome! I'll take it -- will PM you for details.

I went on Friday @ Lee's and it was awesome. Ian Blurton got up for a Hawkwind cover w/ the Sadies. Andre Ehtier got up as well for a song or two. Fantastic show and it was a real treat to have Andre Ethier (one of my favourites) open the show, followed by Rick White, pre-Sadies.

Is this still available? If so, let me know - thanks!

any chance it's the old link from oct 22, 2004 (and not 2007) that you read?

..this was due to Dean's intervention -- maybe old news is getting you confused? hopefully for all you out of towners coming in for the show, this is the case....

Tonight! I saw the Apollo Sunshine boys randomly at a 401 reststop this afternoon coming back from Montreal.... small country!

Early show -- starts soon --

On [color:brown]Saturday, October 6th at [color:purple]The Mod Club in Toronto, there is a wicked double bill of music happening. The bands that are playing are:

[color:red]Dr. Dog

http://www.myspace.com/drdog

~~ [color:red]Dr. Dog is an awesome psychedelic rock band from Philadelphia. They were recommended to me by a band called "The Teeth" (also from Philly http://www.myspace.com/teeth ) and I've been listening to both bands quite a bit. "Their sound has been compared to that of various 1960s pop bands, especially The Beatles and The Band, as well as The Beach Boys." They recently got off tour w/ Wilco and have also toured w/ such bands as: My Morning Jacket, The Strokes, The Raconteurs, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, to name a few.

and

[color:green]Apollo Sunshine

http://www.myspace.com/apollosunshine

~~ [color:green]Apollo Sunshine - you guys might remember from the tour they did w/ the SLIP. Or, maybe you've seen them at festivals (I saw them do a rockin' set @ Langerado in March). In the past, they've been named a Rolling Stone "Artist to Watch" and, random fact -- they recently made a brief appearance in U2's music video Window in the Skies.

I think both these bands are terrific, and they are no doubt going to put on a high-energy, fun show. A Saturday night of music not to be missed if you are in Toronto!

~~ It's an early show: doors @ 6pm & show starts at 7pm.

~~ I believe Dr. Dog is the headliner

~~ Tickets are $13.50 (according to TM).

MattyC- I'll buy that extra for Tuesday off you if it's available... let me know - thanks!
