The Darth Side

Veal Tender

Fade up to wide shot of couple walking out of restaurant, happily chatting

Narrator: I don’t know why I had to answer that customer comment card so honestly,

Fast choppy time rewind to zoom in on mouth chewing tough meat

Narrator: But hey,

Fast choppy forward to zoom on pen writing on customer comment comment card “veal could have been more tender”

Narrator: the veal could have been more tender.

Fast forward to couple walking out of restaurant, with cook in apron and hat walking out of restaurant carrying a cleaver.

Cook: (Bristol accent) The veal could have been more tender, eh?

Cook raises cleaver and charges. Shot pauses on cook.

Narrator: Why does shit like this always happen to me?

Now this is business casual.

New London Drive-thru

Heard on the radio this morning that London is about to get a Beer Store drive-thru. Just in time for the May 24 weekend.

In other news, I've been having a weird issue with my iPod. Whenever I start a playlist (or even just select an artist or genre, etc.) it seems to skip the first few songs. In fact, a few times I have hit play, and it just looks like it skips through the entire playlist. Strange, no?

This is GOOD SHIT !

Have a read of this - and make sure to read the feedback and comments at the bottom.

I want one.

There Will Be A Light - Live at the Apollo DVD

Not that I had to overcome a whole lot of hesitation or anything, but unlike anything else Ben has released, I DID NOT purchase this the first day it was available....I waited until the second day.

And I am NOT dissapointed by the purchase at all !

I think we all probably share the same kind of skepticism or trepidation of Bens lastest release of There Will Be a Light. Its good, but its not the Ben we know and love ? Im assuming you have both listened to the cd, if you dont already own it ? Its good, but I dont love it like a Fight For Your Mind or Will to Live ?

So I bought the DVD concert performance of Ben and the Blind Boys....with some hesitation. TRUST ME....dont hesitate ! This is LIVE BEN HARPER AND HE DOES NOT DISSAPOINT. Outstanding concert performance of There Will Be A Light. Ben oozes more SOUL than I have ever seen !

Dubby - I'm sure we'll catch at least a few songs this weekend....

Falsetto's Stag

Dudes - Gotta start the ball rolling on this ! Potentially looking at the weekend of April 30th ! John and Andrea are in Toronto that weekend so John wants me to target that weekend as a possibility ? Yes....this event is going to be in Toronto. I am going to endeavour to talk to Anthony and Chris (Nihmey) this week about it and see if they can wrangle up the Ottawa boys, and what kind of numbers we might be looking at...

Couch Request

May I crash on yer living room couch at Casa Dubby tomorrow (Tuesday) night? I am going to a celebration down at the Academy of Spherical Arts and will probably be in late-ish, say 1am? I would only require a (semi-)soft surface and perhaps shower facilities for the morning.

Let me know if this is a possibility. I can probably pay in chocolate.

Woop Woop....Talk to Me....

Whats the word Gents ? Lets get the chit chat goin as our April weekend approaches ! I don't think we've ever had an "April" weekend before? Reason in itself to celebrate? You guys should try to come Friday night ?!? Make it a 2-Nighter. Can we do it ?
What do you want to do ? I have some ideas ?
Lots of Questions to be answered.

Lemme know. Hope you had a Good Easter.

Death from Above 1979

Any of you 'bangers out there trip over a band called, Death from Above 1979? Toronto band that played Conan O'Brien a few weeks ago...

Wondered if anybody had heard their licks.

Possible Blasphemy?

Only 2 days now since I found out when Jack is comin' to town (Sept. 17), and I am considering something that may shock you. I am thinking it ain't worth it.

Yes that's right, and here's my logic. Seats ARE general admission again, and $40 to boot (not to mention some absurd service charge from TicketBastard). The last part? U2 is coming to the ACC the week before. Specifically, the 12th and 14th. I have been wanting to see these dudes for a while now, and Kirsten and I have agreed to shell out some hard-earned dollars for good seats (assuming we can get some, and I doubt they will be cheap).

So while I am a big fan of Jack's, my relationship with him might just have to remain in my car.

In like a lion!!

March is already here! Any thoughts on a weekend to get together? Does Mar 26-27 work?

Let's get the chatter flowing!
