phishtaper Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 remember the good old days when you were in university and a band was playing, didnt really matter what band, just a band, you know, and you went out to see the band because it was thursday night and well, univerity students go out on thursdays and john, or was it neil, is there, he's your roomie's ex from first year and he's kinda hot but a real stoner, so no. and the band is pretty good, the guy singing has a good voice and the rest of the band seems decent even though you cant see them because everyone in university is 6'5" or taller, which is hot, and jen is there too. she got dragged out by some guy she's dating who's in geography she said, and we had this beer called creemore which was good, i had three, that's usually my limit because well, you know that time ... welcome to the jason collette show at starlight last night. he even commented on the crowd. a good show nonetheless.
