Yes, I know it's Thursday. It's a Weakerthans song.
Thanks be to Christielli for hooking me up with the fact that The Weakerthans have scheduled a Winnipeg date for their Impossible Distances tour! Click on that link to find a stop near you. Sorry Laura, it doesn't look like they're swinging by the east coast this time :( Though, perhaps it's an excuse for a trip to Ottawa! Tickets go on sale this Saturday, and I shall be picking them up for sure. I'm quite excited. Thanks again Christielli!
One of the guys I used to work with in the last branch I was at is getting married on Saturday, and my roommate was going to go with me. Suddenly, she's got some thing to be doing for her own wedding that day, so can't come. Anyone want to come to a Portugese wedding this Saturday? lol Anyone from out-of-town gets rewarded with tickets to the Ex.
Buck 65 is also coming to Winnipeg as part of the Cool (tm) Winnipeg Jazz Festival, I might end up seeing him, if I can find someone that also is somewhat interested in going.
I was bored and moseyed on over to Pitchfork and looked through this very fun column about the Best 100 Music Videos. Are they the best? I don't agree with all of them being the best, but they're all good fun. I especially like The Postal Service's 50's kitch video (and of course, how can you NOT like Twisted Sister's video for We're Not Gonna Take It! Dee is the ugliest 'woman' EVER).

    Ohh :( I think the Weakerthans concert would be great one to go to. Wow, their going to Winnipeg though. So if you don't go, I'll be mad at you :D

    I am going up to Ottawa on the week of July 5. So I've already planned a trip there :D

    I'd come with you to the wedding! Even if no one ends up going with you, you should still go, just think about all the free food!

    I have a friend and we call him Dee.

    Well, take care Matt :)

    "I have a friend and we call him Dee."

    Best comment EVER.

    No prob giving you the scoop on the Weakerthans' concert. They're playing this weekend in TO at 2 Hip concerts that I elected not to go to (they are NOT an opening band). Hope you have a fabulous time.

    Hope you have fun at the Portuguese wedding. A good proportion of the students at my school are Portuguese. Or such is their defence when I tell them they're too loud.
