Yay, Burlington!

Dudes, Burlington has everything you've ever wanted in a town. I predict that by the end of the evening you'll have decided to sell your East-End houses and join me in paradise.

I so admire you guys for going to concerts. I never, ever, ever do that. Like, I think the last concert I saw was Liz Phair at the Opera House in the late '90s. Movies I can do. Opera, I must. I've even attended a screening of Buffy at U of T (special guest writer-producer David Fury), but I have no real enthusiasm for concerts.

I think it's because I'm lazy and cheap. But you all knew that already.

The Frames in Oct

Hey Hey,
I've heard Burlington in November is beautiful, count me in!
I wanted to add the Frames on Oct 20th at The Pheonix to the upcoming shows list. $15 per ticket and you also get the brilliant Josh Ritter in support. The Frames "Set List" is quite probably the best live album I have ever heard, these guys know how to work a crowd.
Also Paul Weller at the Kool Haus on Sept. 22nd, Tim, Fran and I are going. Tixs are $40 but it is the Modfather, apparantley there is some other show on that night at The Hummingbird but I know where I'd rather be.
Who you calling a Ho?

What up Bitches!

So...we haven't determined a date for music club yet, but it looks like it will have to be after the COC run. Are you guys ok with November? I say we have it at Jen's pad, since we haven't see her place yet! ;)

Ok-just found out that Quintron is coming to the Silver Dollar. $10.50! That's a deal! So, if you guys are interested, let me know. A few other of my favs are coming this month and next...

Royksopp Sept 20 Opera House (Upbeat, electronic music, gay boys)
Hot Chip Sept 23 Horseshoe (Again, Upbeat, electronic, but stright boys)
Architecture in Helsinki Oct 1 Rancho Relaxo (kind of like Belle and Sebastian)
Death Cab for Cutie Oct 15 Koolhaus (Yippee! This concert is sold out)
TV on the Radio Oct 18 Ricoh (With Franz Ferdinand. Should be a good show)
Quintron Nov 5 Silver Dollar (only $10.50!)
Broadcast Nov 6 Lee's (Love this band. So dreamy)
Depeche Mode Dec 1 Air Canada Centre (I'm really considering on going! Although, I'll be so pregnant by then!)

Ya-busy few months. I probably won't see all these bands, but if I wasn't pregnant and hated crowds, I'd be there for every single one! oh well.

Dudes--I'm out, but keep this blog going.


I suffered a swift defeat
I'll endure countless repeats
The gift of memory is an aweful curse
With age it just gets much worse but I don't mind
