I'm going to check tomorrow and see if we have any devices to donate as well...not guaranteed, but I'll let you know in the morning.

OK, I got a pair of Bluesfest tix..PM me the address to which to send them..our Area Manager in Ottawa will take care of it.

Maybe a blackberry or some other device. My boss is in a mtg, I'll speak to her before I leave today.

Since we sponsor Bluesfest, I'm sure I can get some tickets. What about tickets for Toronto events? Would that be undesirable?

Let me see what I can do...

Hope you and your 'stache had a lovely BirthdayBreak, Mr. Johnson.

Happy birthday--hope Mr Referee/Fluffhead didn't kill you last night!

From www.wwtdd.com: It's not exactly like Harvey Korman was still working in movies and churning out really funny stuff, but he was so damn funny for so long, it still sucks that he passed away yesterday after complications from the rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm four months ago. Whatever the hell that means. He should have died from something funnier. Like slipping on a banana peel or getting whacked in the face with a beaver. I bet he would have wanted that. The AP says… Harvey Korman, the tall, versatile comedian who won four Emmys for his outrageously funny contributions to "The Carol Burnett Show" and played a conniving politician to hilarious effect in "Blazing Saddles," died Thursday. He was 81. "A world without Harvey Korman — it's a more serious world," Mel Brooks told the AP on Thursday. "I gave him tongue twisters because I knew he was the only one who could wrap his mouth around them," Brooks said. "Harvey was such a good solid actor that he could have done Shakespearean drama just as well and easily as he did comedy." "You could get rock-solid comedy out of him. He could lift the material. He always made it real, always made it work, always believed in characters he was doing," he said. Korman was like Will Arnett or Paget Brewster or Bernie Mac or someone like that in the sense that everything he said was ten times funnier than it really was. Those people just make stuff funny. Whereas someone like Cameron Diaz or Jennifer Anniston just sit there like a fucking lox and ruin everything. And yet they’re considered "funny". Because someone else wrote a joke. God I hate them. I'm not saying to punch Cameron Diaz in her stupid toothy face, but I’m also not not saying to punch her in her stupid toothy face.

Although I am quite distraught at Harvey's death, I think I might be even more despondent about now being "of a certain age". *sigh*.

Dave, you posted essentially what I was going to...this upset me an inordinate amount. I mean, guy had a good run...but still..genius..will be missed. Sad. RIP Harvey.

Well, me and Mrs. Stone Mtn will be there. And I totally agree with everyone's positive interpretations of Cyndi--she's got a phenomenal voice and her songs are amazing. She's won Grammys and Emmys and Tonys for her work. And this whole tour is for a great cause. Besides which, I can't wait to get my retro on!

A devoted advocate for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) community for over 25 years, Cyndi Lauper launched the annual True Colors Tour in 2007. In partnership with organizations like the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG), this North American tour brings people together to voice their solidarity for GLBT equality and raise awareness about the continued discrimination the community still faces. From Cyndi and her openly gay sister, Elen, taking part in a highly successful national public awareness campaign for PFLAG to participating in countless events to raise funds and awareness for the fight for GLBT equality, Cyndi is committed to this vital community that has loved and supported her throughout her career. In appreciation for her work, Cyndi has been honored by many organizations including HRC, PFLAG, and the Matthew Shepard Foundation.

So, that's a yes...

I think it would be fun...Basher? Yes/no? I have actually had some interest in tix via PM.

Then again, I'm not sure bathroom lineups will necessarily be an issue..I suspect the ticket sales aren't going too well or the promotor wouldn't have unloaded all these freebies on us.

I think you're right..they've been known to have a pretty big gay following. And Carson Cressly (I'm not sure how that's spelled) from Queer Eye is hosting.

I seem to recall the bathroom lineups being particularly annoying at Lilith Fair, I imagine this will be a similar demographic.

Have a great day!

Possibly not your cup o' tea, but perhaps family/friends would be interested...I have access to a buttload of free tix for the "True Colors" show at the Molson Amp next Wednesday. PM me if interested!

Isn't it sold out?

Well-played.

I've seen G.Love & Special Sauce a bunch of times and they've always put on a super-fun show.

Not sure if this has been posted or not..I did "search" so I apologize if this is a duplication... http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2008/05/28/trey-anastasio-hints-at-phish-reunion/ Nearly four years after their break-up, the four members of Phish may have some unfinished business together. In an interview with Rolling Stone last week, Trey Anastasio didn’t exactly say the band has talked about a reunion, but he did drop some heavy hints. “When Phish broke up, I made some comment about how I’m not gonna go around playing ‘You Enjoy Myself’ for the rest of my life,†Anastasio said with a laugh. “And it’s so funny because Fish and Mike and Page have been talking to each other a lot lately and now — it’s not that I can’t believe that I said that, but its symbolic of how much I lost my mind or how much I lost my bearings or something. Because at this point in time I would give my left nut to play that song five times in a row every day until I die. I certainly thought about that while I was in jail.†Anastasio spoke to RS on May 21st, the same day he received some good news: He was sentenced to probation on charges of possessing painkillers without a prescription, which had been reduced to a misdemeanor after he completed a drug treatment program. Earlier in May, Anastasio and the other members of Phish stood onstage together in New York to accept a lifetime achievement award at the Jammies.

If it weren't for Mrs.Mtn and her extra toque, I would have been shivering. Thanks Mom!
