#Rocktober 30 volume 21: To Emily’s!

This month I turn 30. To mark such a remarkable event, I’m spending every day of October drenched in awesome-sauce. Emily invited me out for drinks, unfortunately she lives in the middle of nowhere, aka Parkdale, so after I got the “COME ON OVER” text from Emily, I decided to drive. I popped in my car and drove all the way to Parkdale. After exiting my car, I tripped on a piece of an old sign post. There was about 10-15cm of this former signpost protruding from the ground. Fortunately I had something to soften the blow of hitting the pavement, my forehead. I was up in short time and… Read More »#Rocktober 30 volume 21: To Emily’s!

#Rocktober 30 volume 20: Nothing

This month I turn 30. To mark such a remarkable event, I’m spending every day of October drenched in awesome-sauce. Sure I’ve had some really lame Rocktober days, like the one where my event was sleeping for over 12 hours, or the one where I upgraded my phone to iOS 5. They were barely Rocktober days. Emily told me that my plans for the night, seeing Royal Wood at the Rivoli, wasn’t going to work, turns out the show was sold out. Instead, I stayed at home, and did nothing. Fuck, I’m useless.

#Rocktober 30 volume 19: Music on Clinton street

This month I turn 30. To mark such a remarkable event, I’m spending every day of October drenched in awesome-sauce. Another Rocktober night, another dinner. I headed to Clinton’s with Allegra. I enjoyed her company, she enjoyed the hockey. Also, goat cheese.

#Rocktober 30 volume 18: Road trip to Ethiopia

This month I turn 30. To mark such a remarkable event, I’m spending every day of October drenched in awesome-sauce. Yay! I saw Laurie at Dirty Bingo, and we made plans for volume 18. He, Kelly, and I went out for Ethiopian at this tasty tasty place on Church, south of Dundas. The food was excellent, even though the service was slow. In addition, it was dirt cheap. Even better, I got to hang out with Laurie and Kelly, and I never seem to see those two people. Then I walked home. These blog posts are getting shorter.

#Cocktober 30 volume 17: Dirty Bingo

This month I turn 30. To mark such a remarkable event, I’m spending every day of October drenched in awesome-sauce. Went to Dirty Bingo at Zelda’s last night. Drank lots of beer, had a few laughs. My table even won a few prizes. They were dirty!

#Rocktober 30 volume 16: Dum Dum Girls

This month I turn 30. To mark such a remarkable event, I’m spending every day of October drenched in awesome-sauce. Went to see The Dum Dum Girls at Lee’s Palace. I’m glad I didn’t take my camera with me, as both the Crocodiles and Dum Dum Girls decided not to use lights, and instead projected patterns of light on stage. Any pic would’ve looked like shit. When I got there, I found Mechanical Forest Joe ((Joe, I’m calling you this now.)) was there, too, as usual. I had someone to chat with, and it’s someone awesome. The opener came out in a lovely dress, but that was the highlight of the… Read More »#Rocktober 30 volume 16: Dum Dum Girls

#Rocktober 30 volume 15: ZZZZZZ

This month I turn 30. To mark such a remarkable event, I’m spending every day of October drenched in awesome-sauce. Went out for brunch to The Old Nick. Yes I’m there constantly. I was poaching their internet, as I wait for Bell to get their shit together (post coming when it’s resolved). I had the Mac & Cheese. So good, not as good as Cari’s. I got home around 6, and immediately fell asleep. Slept until 9 am. Second best day of #Rocktober (Wild Flag’s still on top).

#Rocktober 30 volume 14: Rob Benvie, Matt Murphy, Different Skeletons, and Queen’s Park

This month I turn 30. To mark such a remarkable event, I’m spending every day of October drenched in awesome-sauce. Last night I went to a weird alley in Kensington which in turn led to a staircase up to a strange bar I’ve never been in.  It was a packed house where Rob Benvie of Thrush Hermit fame was to be reading from his new novel. I didn’t quite understand why the place was so packed, but I quickly found Natalia and Tim and hung out with those two for a while. After hanging around for a while, we spotted Val, in the audience, and chatted with her. Turns out… Read More »#Rocktober 30 volume 14: Rob Benvie, Matt Murphy, Different Skeletons, and Queen’s Park

#Rocktober 30 volume 13: iOS 5

This month I turn 30. To mark such a remarkable event, I’m spending every day of October drenched in awesome-sauce. I upgraded to iOS 5, and spent much of the time playing with new features, and found out that you can now customize text-tones, something I’ve been wanting for quite some time. I made a couple new text-tones, one is the QUACK from the System 7 sound set, the other is the sound made in Super Mario Bros. when one collects a coin. Okay, this was a cop-out Rocktober event… sue me. Bitches!

#Rocktober 30 volume 12: Vincey!

This month I turn 30. To mark such a remarkable event, I’m spending every day of October drenched in awesome-sauce. Ate tasty food at the Nick with Vince. We shared nachos and jalapeño poppers, so fucking tasty.
