Thanks so much everyone for the thoughts and well-wishes - Figured I'd better chip in with a quick photo before all the 'post 10 jaggers' are uploaded.
It was a wonderful day!!!

Ah yes, Ye Ole Gasoline Bong Thread. It's a heady folk classic!!
That is some funny shit!!!
Ok I'll admit to once putting coffee in my bong to see if I could get the 'wake' back in wake n' bake....but yeah. GAS! hehehe
That's as smart as huffing GOLD PAINT!
-
hehehe thanks! I just got myself so close to zero I could feel it....
-

yeah i've had that palais royale SBD since Oct 17th/02-day after the show...same thing, a radio guy forwarded it to a friend and to me....good show really-made a great xmas present that year!
-
ok, the 2x 50ft XLR's are gone, and the SM58 is gone....
-
except for the piece of crap 1 sided RCA cable
....sheesh!!!
Tell you what. Take anything else bouche and I'll GIVE you the guitar cables... Hell anybody takes anything and I'll throw in a mic cable with every mic, and some sorta free cables with anything else!! -
The house is in Guelph, just off downtown(5 minute stumble)
No ones beating down my door and i'm not going to list them further on the net till the weekend, those are the same prices i'm going to ask in US $$ elsewhere....so still some time to get back to me. I figured there are enough bands/like-minded audio folks on this board to snap up some bargoons.
Princess-is Trevor a friend of J.Hunsberger? Shaved head? am I thinking of the right guy?

Ok looks like Denise and I just got a house, christ this whirlwind is picking up speed....
of course by 'bought' I mean increased my debt load by a couple orders of magnitude.
anyhoo, looking to clean up around here in anticipation of the move, first place I'll start is the studio! I'd rather you fine folks make use of this gear than some random ebayers...Of course i'm flexible on prices and trades are an option as well...although i'm not looking for other audio/studio stuff.
ok here goes:
--------------------------
2x Canare 50' 2T2s Cable...like new...high quality stuff... $70/both(that's the price of one cable!)
--------------------------
8x 25-35' XLR cables...all in great shape, one has some duct tape on it i'm too lazy to
clean off. $50 getsa ya all 8. Get yer cheap on!
--------------------------
Sennheiser e903 Instrument mic $100...Awesome for guitar cabs/drums/congas/percussion,
especially snare - super durable for live sound and all Sennheiser mic's have a 10 year
warranty. Like New.
--------------------------
Sennheiser 865 Vocal Mic $200 Super cardioid, tons o' feedback rejection, perfect for stand
out vocals. Excellent condition.
--------------------------
Audix OM-5 Vocal Mic $150 Again another dead mint vocal mic that I'm just not going to use.
Hypercardioid and very detailed - perfect for female vocals and detailed voices.
--------------------------
Studio Projects B1 Studio Condensor Mic $100 Large diaphragm, beautiful sounding mic. With
clip and Windscreen, i've got the original box around here somewhere too...
--------------------------
ART Tube MP Tube Preamp $50 Single channel tube preamp, great for distorting vocals and
guitars, has phantom power etc

Computer shit: 2x 128MB PC100 RAM, 1x D-Link PCI Network card, 1x 256 MB PC133 Crucial RAM,
1x 64MB PC100 RAM...all for $50. I'll also throw in any other extra computer bits I can
find, screws, cables, there's a good handful around here..some IDE, SATA, Floppy etc... please god someone make use of this wasted geekery!
--------------------------
I've got pictures of all these(except the computer stuff) if yer curious as to what they
look like. PM me if yer interested, or email me...

I had a great time this weekend even though I had to come and go for work on Saturday....Friday the workshop between the Quebecois band and Dya Singh was great stuff, took awhile to get going but really gelled after awhile...Weakerthans were...well, weaker than.
Arcade Fire was a definite highlight for me-really mesmerizing show that was full o'conviction. Stars were good and rocking - but nothing spectacular...
Sunday daytime nothing really grabbed me-drifted between a few stages, hurting a bit from the night before, went into town to take the dog for a run and headed back for the evening...which was a bit of a jumble. John and the Sisters kicked some serious ass - what a great vocalist to complement Kevin Breit and crew....I missed his workshops so I needed to catch this bunch....jumped out a couple songs early to head over to BSS, which was quite spectacular and ever-evolving, caught a handful of songs from up close and far away, but cut it short to head back over to check out Nathan Cole and catch up with some friends...Since Nathan Cole got his band together I can't get enough - amazing songwriting with a honest voice and a rocking band...Don Kerr(Rheos) is producing his debut album and I got a sneak peek...it's phenomenal...definitely one to watch out for as he's just going to take off at some point.
Meandered back to the main stage to check out Sam Roberts, he did rock the place quite hard...felt like Canada's AC/DC a couple times with the straight up drummer pounding away and the guitarist on the speaker stacks...but the re-appearance of a wasted K-OS and his subsequent 4 line 'freestyle', coupled with an attempted 'get the locals involved' drum circle section for his big tune took a lot away for sure.
Partying down with Scottie K and Diane Saturday night, multiple run-ins with KevO, AD, Marge, Dave/Deb(can't remember which mouse you are Dave...)So many friends of mine from town and beyond were there...good times....
-
fuck yeah! Me and the D will be attending...even though I gotta work all day saturday.
-
Holy fack I just remembered something - I was there for the Tall Ships Festival in 2000, it's every 5 years....so get back there at the mid/end of August and all the tall ships sail into the Het Ij behind Central Station and anchor there for a weekend...fuggin amazing!! Some of the huge Slavic ships are crazy...you can wander around the harbour and there are Heinekin watering stations set up every 100ft...There will be night/day concerts, gay pride parades, tons of parties everywhere....plus if yer wandering around the Red Light district at night there are tons of packs of different sailors in uniform walking around...it's fuggin surreal...takes it back in time to a 'good times' port city for a bit...
not alot online but here's the official link:

oh yeah and watch out for the pre-rolled doobies...half tobacco!

Hey for the Canal boat ride there has been a bit of 'hand me down' info that all my friends and I have used...go to the comedy club "Chicago Boom" in one of the pleins(someone probably knows this square) Sign up for the canal ride there - they are no charge, it's in a small boat(groups of 8 i think-not those big ass glass tourist things) and you can bring doobs and beers....the boat pilot/tour guide is usually a super kind Canadian or British person who works at the comedy club, and you just pay a donation at the end - $5/$10 whatever you feel...lasts a couple hours and is nice and laid back.
And yeah barney's breakfasts are great British/NA style eggs/meat/etc and the tables are long bench style ones...forces you to make friends... everytime I was there I met interesting folks!
-
...if it happens west of Toronto consider the complete PA/stage setup cheap if not free....
-
Wowsers! so great to hear! congrats-
-
Hey StoneMtn i've got Apocrypha - it's a bootleg collection, albeit the most legit looking one i've ever seen....it's not bad although the quality is all over the map...PM me and I can fire them off to you some time.
-
shit i'm late..Happy B'day! By the post it sounds like you had the required amount of B'day Stella's!
-
edit to add: I've got a Zappa 4CD live set I made that covers 68-79 if anyone wants it...best of the best all mixed together....PM me!
-
actually, i'm a sucker for the doo-wop so I do have Cruisin with Ruben...
Far as I remember it's these 3:
Tinseltown Rebellion.
...ya know, I actually own 'You Are What You Is' and like it as the 'conceptual continuity' is at it's peak in the flow of this one...but Zappa got tea-bagged by the 80's right in the taste department, and the fuggin synth trumpets and shit drums drive me nuts....which leads us to #2...
Ship Arriving Too Late
Absolute tripe, enough said. Oh sorry you like Valley Girl? go to hell.
#3Jazz From Hell.
Oh look you're already here. I imagine the Jazz in Hell actually sounding better.
(ok, sorry gotta footnote this one - I -love- "What's New In Baltimore" and have it on a couple live shows...great anthem!)
...of course i'm not counting rarities re-releases, and I don't have that last DVD-A release(but have heard it quite a few times...the Easy Meat is un-fuggin-believable)
And Marge, yeah I know lotsa people in that place, I think because his tunes cover such a huge spectrum, there's lots to be turned on AND off by. Check out the late 70's stuff - my fave musicians and some funky tunes - Sheik Yerbouti being a fine example. For some mid-70's picks try out One Size Fits All and Apostrophe/Overnite Sensation...

I'm working Saturday daytime but will be there for the rest of the weekend...good to hear you're coming AD!!
Tell you what. Take anything else bouche and I'll GIVE you the guitar cables... Hell anybody takes anything and I'll throw in a mic cable with every mic, and some sorta free cables with anything else!!

Wow....saw Revolting Cocks a l-o-o-n-g time ago, right around when they covered Rod Stewart's 'If you think i'm sexy' - I think it was the Beers, Steers and Queers tour. Ministry used to put on a hell of a show, them at Lollapalooza was a memorable event, as was the riot at Maple Leaf Gardens in 94....Al Jourgensen is a fantastic frontman - hopefully they still tour with those big-ass cow skeletons....
