I hate when that happens Velvets... I post as Dave frequently... kick myself each time.

Shain who's sending you???!

[Im going home Donny]

Ticker...I think its VICE magazine.

[shainhouse]

Iceland Air routinely has great deals if you fly out of Boston... I've been seriously looking into a sidetrip to Iceland on my next trip across the pond. On some flights you don't even get penalised for the extra stop for 2 or 3 days...

[mister slippery]

from Boston, hmmm?

maybe when next i visit my bro in boston, i'll arrange a small detour to rekjavik.

[AD]

iceland air flies from boston, NY, san fran, orlando , minneapolis and baltimore... but i only look at boston because it's closest..

[fluffhead77]

fuck iceland.

muuuuuuum and bjork can both shrivel up.

although I did hear that reindeer is quite tasty...

[shainhouse]

Apparantely I have to bring a lot of food with me cause their veggie options are minimal... pizza and McDonald's fries.

[Velvet]

I met two Australian dudes on the way to St. Petersburg. They were on a 'round the world trip and they couldn't stop talking about how amazing Iceland was.

curious minds want to know...

Seriously Shain try and get an interview with We Are Scientists. They are hilarious dudes from everything I've read and seen and they just take over the 'interview' process. If you tell them you're from Canada originally they'll likely really go off.

As a reader I'd be more interested in reading about good bands. We Are Scientests may be a good interview, but their music does absolutely nothing for me.

[zero]

Oh but they are such a wicked interview - I'd have to go the exact opposite direction. They are the shit as people even if there music is to some 'the shit' (I don't have much of an opinion there). They're like a band full of Chives2's.

[shainhouse]

I don't know how many, if any interviews I'll do.. I'm there to review, so it'll mostly be taking in the shows...

[zero]

Just try and meet them they're hilarious.
