Have a great birthday, Will!!

Did I buy my calendar at the shitty-ass calendar shop? What kind of assholes don't put "Ninja Day" on the calendar, as a matter of course, like Christmas, Channukah etc. I mean, fucking "Flag Day" makes the grade for standard calendar listings, but not "Day of the Ninja"?!! Yet another travesty of justice...

My friend said this is the best website to find out what's going on... http://www.whatsonwinnipeg.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage I went to it and there was an ad for "Beer Deals" at the top, so it's gotta be a good choice!

Wow...the new cut is great! I am pretty sure you can physically assault the person who inflicted the first one upon you..no jury in the world will convict you..make sure you keep these pictures as evidence..

Thanks for the reminder...yes, I *will* blog it! Great idea! (You can't rain on my post-Jovi parade... )

this alone would have been worth it. were they oggling unsuspecting men who passed by? or' date=' worse? sounds like it was a fun night. we all need to re-live our lives every once in a while. [/quote'] It was a fun night...and I wish I could have made Basher take more pics of stuff other than Bon Jovi..those chicks in the beer-box hats were hysterical!

You were AWAKE at 1:47 am and didn't call me back?! You prick!

Haters can post all the mockage they want..it was a fucking great show..Basher will be posting the youtube "Livin' on a Prayer" in its entirety, for those who are interested later..

Yes, my life-long Bon Jovi lust has been fulfilled...it was as cheesy and rockin' and ridiculous as you would hope/imagine/expect.... I got the 3 songs I was hoping for (Born to Be My Baby, I'll Be There For You, Livin' On A Prayer) and all the others I was hoping for, too. The female: male ratio was about 75:25..I almost went in the Men's bathroom at one point, the line at the Women's was ludicrous. I saw, in succession, the following: -a chick with big, blonde, bleeched, crimped hair (hello, 1986!!) -a chick with red leather pants and black high heels -a gaggle of cougars (about 5 or 6 of 'em) sporting cowboy hats fashioned from Molson Canadian beer boxes -a big, butch football playin' guy wearing an autographed Bon Jovi football jersey ($150) I've never seen so many people at a concert standing for 90 minutes straight--from the time they even threatened to come out, 20,000 people were on their feet...and 90% of them were on their feet for the entire concert. My adolescent fantasies have been fulfilled. Jon went out to this little island in the one side of the arena at one point and sang a few songs..then Richie came out and sang with him...at one point, Jon pulled this random girl up and danced with her in an instrumental part..she might have had a heart attack... It was great fun. I loved every minute. And, as a male, utterly heterosexual co-worker(with 4 kids) confessed after Thursday night's show, "Although I feel no attraction the guy, no pheremones are at work at all, I must confess, he's a really good-looking man.."

If anyone wants to borrow the "Slash" book in Toronto..let me know..

Congratulations Jay & Erin!! Have a blast!!

starhead, phorbesie...vibes as requested..good luck!!

You said it yourself: This time of year is crazy--for everyone! I'm sure the folks doing the deciding are going just as crazy, even if they're not working retail... :thumbup:

Hang in there, Bob...Gill interviewed for a new job over a month ago..they told she'd hear in 2 weeks...she just found out this week that she GOT THE JOB!

Thanks for the clarification. And that last fact you mentioned is, literally, nauseating.

It was one of the ones from the new album..Shamemaker...

I have a couple of friends who live there..let me ask them..you never know, locals might have some tips! Note: I spoke to one of our regional directors there yesterday...and, as expected, it's bloody friggin' cold there right now! And it seems even colder in Winnipeg because of the wind (on the prairie)...brrr...gives me the shivers just thinking about it!

I, too, was appalled when I heard he was denied "day parole" (though I don't fully understand what that means). Right or wrong, he's paid his (in my opinion) questionable "debt" to society. I'm not condoning what he did..I can't even figure out how I truly feel about it..it's a difficult question and a slippery moral & legal slope.. I know the purpose of the sentence was for its "deterrent" value, but I just think this guy and his family have suffered enough..and from what I can tell, he fully believes what he did was right and done purely from a place of love.

So we're driving into work this morning, I'm scanning through all the channels on Sirius, searching for Bon Jovi (in vain, as it turns out..which is weird, because on a normal day, you can generally find Bon Jovi on at least 2 channels at any given time) and I see Ween is being played. I flipped to that station immediately and it's...CBC...? Rock on, CBC!!!

You mispelled "penis" bahahahahahahaha! Beverage, meet monitor...

Is that the door blessing thing?

I'm afraid I'm going to be terribly disappointed when I show up and Jon Bon isn't sporting big hair and tight, pink spandex...

You really do live in the edge, Basher. *The edge of the bog, that is.

Wait--you played in a bog? How'd you keep your clothes so dry? Didn't that fuck with your computer??

I concur 100%. Mike, you're cruel.
