  1. Well let me just say, Contact sure loves what they do. They played their hearts out for the mere amount of people who sparsely filled the Lanc last night. A sad showing for kitchener, but hey - it WAS a Thursday.... so kudos to those who made it out AND to the band for playing so hard! I kept thinking how lucky I was to have, what felt like a private show. Tons of room to dance ... and for the give'r girls, that's a good thing!

    Contact produces such a big sound, which was great because it filled the empty pockets of space in venue. Two 45 minute sets of melodic spacey tunes, tightly played with no breaks between tracks. They had me moving, regardless of my tired bones. And DAMN! I wish EVERY band had hand drums... they add such a tasty groove to each song and the guy playing the congas last night was probably my favorite aspect.

    Great show guys... can't wait for the next one.

  2. Because of Palace Princess' odd fixation with pork products, we stocked our car with binoculars, hard hats, maps of the casino, blue prints, disguises, ski masks, sharpies and a camera - yes, all the necessities to stalk Kevin Bacon with.

    Palace arrived at my house late due to troubles with her home made iron-on Bacon head shot t-shirt. With another iron-on in hand, we frantically made MY bacon head shot t-shirt, packed a snack, strapped our sneakers on and jumped in the car to start MissionBacon (later to be called Mission-elFucked-O).

    On the way down we smoked copious amounts of wheelchair weed which lead to us missing the 400 cut off and going 20 minutes out of our way. We turned around, de-stressed by smoking another bowl, almost missed the cut-off again, but somehow forced a couple cars out of the way and got on the right route. Unfortunately, stoned as we were, we missed the next cut off - taking us off route AGAIN... grrrrrr. It was raining, we were annoyed and the Wendy's we ate on the way down was forming tiny gremlins in our stomachs. So we smoked another bowl.

    We finally made it to the casino with only 15 minutes to spare. This meant no time to stalk Kevin... BOOO! On our way into the theater i made a quick stop at the bar to slam down a shot of tequila - THERE... i was ready to endure 2 hours of bacon.

    As we were sitting proudly in our giant head shot bacon t-shirts, we looked around at a FULLY packed theater. Astonished, and giggling that there could be THIS many bacon brothers fans, Palace turns to me and says, "I hope he does Footloose!"

    And out comes Kevin Bacon - in his white pants (how 80's of him).

    The best way to describe the music would be melted cheese on perfectly toasted bread. Every corny note played perfectly without fault. Kevin and his brother sang songs about being a man and eating Chinese take out. Michael played the cello for a couple tunes... which he did very well. Kevin also showed off his diversity by putting down his guitar and playing the conga drums and the harmonica for a couple tunes. Yes, 2 hours of twang which I feared may bung me up for a good couple of days.

    Near the end of the show, despite all the warnings and angry looks on the security guards faces, Palace and I decided to get out of our seats and bum rush the stage. Kevin looked down at us, turned to the bassist and said,

    "Check out the shirt with my face on it!!!"

    And then it happened... they broke out into FOOTLOOSE! Crazed, screaming women came flying down to the stage .... Arms in the air, yelling "Kevy!! I love you! oooh kevy!" Kevin did a little dance and Palace melted into a little puddle of gush on the floor.

    And thus ended our mission... content with Kevin noticing our shirts, we headed out of the theater and back to our car. Smoked a bowl and headed home.

    Don't give up hope chase - you'll find a way. Wish you didn't live in toronto, bumhead.

    If anything - a bus trip to k-town on the friday night could work... and you could hitch a ride with one of us! We've got a few more weeks to figure it all out.

    In the meantime, smile and keep growing that sexy mullet of yours... it'll all fall into place mate.

  7. Just putting together a nice summertime compilation - wondering if you guys might like to help me out.

    Here's your motivation:

    You're outside, the sun is shining - lounging by your tent, beer in hand and surrounded by great friends... what music usually reminds you of these times?
