time & change

Another monday, another work week, another month coming to an end. Fuck time flies. I have no idea where my weekend went, but i know i slept a lot. I know the week just started, but i cant wait for it to be over. Im catching the ol' greyhound to North Bay thursday evening. I cant even contain my excitement, i know north bay sounds lame......but its pretty rad when your just a visitor instead of a permanent resident. I have a lot to accomplish in such a short visit too!

It'd be rad if i could squeeze in a hike through duschaney falls with the Rhondas...

I'll most likely eat pizza with the Hecklers at some point, which will be rad...

Anyways....last week i hit up the Sens vs Canucks game with Tomi. Coincidently we both hit up some straight whiskey before meeting up so by game time we were feeling swell. It was rad hanging out with Tomi outside of a show, or bar, or a party even. I dont think we've ever just hung out without a big crowd. He had an idea to make a "who cares?" sign as hes a Bruins fan, and i just like hockey in general. After the game i went back to hang with Tomi & his lady Blaire at their house. Lots of laughs were had, especially with my theory the connections between Mad Cow disease & Alzheimers....."im not a scientist or anything, but...."

Canucks kicked the Sens' asses. (this wasnt the final score)

Friday i spent hanging out with Miss Verch. I was really tired from being hung over and working, so we caught up on life and passed out. I have the best sleeps at stephs house, but the fact that she has leopard print sheets made my sleep pretty amazing. Saturday my friend Dany Laj was playing at the Babylon. I dont even know when i saw Dany last & but im sure it involved a show & some alcohol.

This ottawa band called The Felines played after Dany's set. I've seen them play about 3-4 times, and i liked it the first time. They play this riot girl styled surf rock....think Red Aunts meets Heavens to Betsy. I dig it because its something i would have liked to listen to when i was 16. They seem to always bring in a fairly nice group of folk, and I can really learn to appreciate any female musician (almost) but the Felines dont do much for me. I think my opinion on female musicians & full female bands is pretty asshole-ish. I think both Cass Ettes & ThisGirlFights! were liked for our creativeness and how we played our music as opposed to how we dressed and looked while we played our music. I dont like the music the Felines make, but they sure do look hot while playing it.

I hung out with these jerks all night....

We left babylon & headed to a benefit show called Rock Lottery @ Mavericks. I think it was the second year this has been put together. A bunch of Ottawa bands mix together to create ne bands for an evening. I only saw two of the one night stand bands play, it was fairly rad though. The song where this guy was rockin' the tambourine was my favorite.....

I think any band that uses a tambourine is in my good books.

Anyhow, these fuckin ducks havent flown south for the winter and hang out near the river & walking trails by my house.....new friends?
