A friend of mine sent me the following email today... It's not only the holidays, but it's also time for reefer madness! A friend - and amazing photog - Ian Amyot is opening a photo show tonite at The Crooked Star. Aptly named The Joint Show, it's an artfully shot collection of blunts, spliffs and joints and pays honest homage to our honourable herb. Anyhoo, if you have a chance, try to swing by tonite - I'd love to see you there. And, if not tonite, The Crooked Star does do brunch, so try to check it out before January 30th! The Crooked Star 202 Ossington (at Dundas) I haven't been to The Crooked Star, but according to various online reviews, the music is allegedly good ("grain of salt" time...) and they apparently have beer specials and decent wine. Everyone loves art! Basher: Not sure if you can smoke the art, or not. Pam's getting back to me..

I know, right? I always assumed he had to have a sense of humour about himself to play that part..then again, maybe he just needed the money...

You're welcome! Here's a link: http://www.roachorama.com/home.htm

Yay, Cully!!! Good job (har har har)...

Kensington Market

He's done with that, or at least took a break from it in '06...The Cult did a reunion tour this past summer, with a fun-filled stop at the Molson Amphitheatre. It was just as good as I remembered it. I'm talkin' 'bout Love Removal Machine. -end hyjack of thread-

Now, see, I was a fan of G'n'R...more of a Slash groupie than an Axl fan, truth be told..I really enjoyed a lot of their music, though..regardless of whom you preferred in the band, for those of us still suffering the ill-effects of 80s head-bang-whiplash, to party with an icon like Axl is the epitome of cool. M, it would most appreciated if you could publish some sort of "How To" guide...if The Cult ever comes back to town, I'm damn well buying Ian Astbury free drinks from the open bar...

Oh, Mary. You are my hero! Rock on!!!

Who needs TV or books? Remember... DO NOT THROW OBJECTS ROM WINDOW

"You just call out my name..and know wherever I am..I'll come runnin'...to see you again.."

I'm going to imagine CyberHippie making the noise "buh" all day long. Sorry about your luck T-Bone...you're on the grid, man!

And do you pay extra if you do a little jig when your phone rings??

Nice work! Thumbs up!

I have to surmise that in StoneMtn's current condition, wrapping his mind around his predicament (as a philosophical concept) is not something of which he's capable, nor would the outcome of that examination be something in which he'd find solace. Then again, maybe a Zen moment alone with his goofy robes would put things in their proper perspective?

Ah, well...since I missed you last time you were here (since you missed your original flight, if I recall correctly? LOL), the invitation is still open for a whole whack of craziness if you make it back to my city! Patchoulia@gmail.com

Dude, this board is, like, lousy with Canadians, it's not your average board. When the hell are you coming back to T.O.?

I read the first post and thought, "Hey, that sounds like Blythe!" lol

maybe that's why nobody in toronto dances at shows, it's all a concerted effort to save the promoters a few bucks hahahahahha..."concerted" effort...I love stuff that works on 2 levels...

And if you can possibly combine this with the vibrator races..? Well, I think you've got a whole NEW exciting career to which you can look forward!

hahahahahahahaha! Pretty nerdy, T-Bone. P.S. How can I get that ringtone?

Additional Charges SOCAN (Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada) Up to 100 guests - with dancing $41.13, without dancing $20.56 Over 100 guests - with dancing $59.17, without dancing $29.56 Fees apply to all events where music is enjoyed. I'm more interested in how they know if people are dancing or not...do they have SGPs (SOCAN Groove Police) conducting spot checks on "all events where music is enjoyed" to determine whether or not people are, in fact, gettin' down? What if I'm tapping my toe whilst awaiting a cocktail? Does that qualify as "dancing" or simply music enjoyment?

I'm afraid I'm going to have to commandeer this for my new signature... Kudos--you've managed to both elicit the "creeps" and maintain an eloquent wit all at the same time! Thumbs up!

My one and only Bret Hart story: In July, some co-workers and I were down on King street in Toronto for lunch. We were waiting for cabs outside the restaurant, when a car began backing into a parking spot and "nudged" a woman who was standing in the spot waiting to cross the street. Female co-worker #1: Omigod! That car just hit that lady! Sole male co-worker: Hey! The guy in that car is Bret Hart! Female co-worker #2: Who? Sole Male co-worker: Bret Hart. The wrestler. Female co-worker #3: I can't believe that just happened! They totally just ran into that woman! Me: Well...he *is* the "Hitman"...

Query: Does Sloth eat Gateaux on their collective birthday? Happy birthday, folks!

Following along with the bacon-theme... An egg and bacon are frying in a pan... Egg turns to the bacon and says, "Holy shit, it's hot in here!" Bacon turns to the egg and says, "Holy shit, a talking egg!!" That's all I got...bad, I know.
