I'm pretty sure I passed The Courtneys on Highway 1 coming back from Vancouver yesterday. The blonde one was driving, she is an awful driver haha. Cousins are pretty awesome too, if you guys are going down make sure you see them too

-The Tontos @ Wine Ohs. Longer set than normal, awesome, and good sound in that place.
-De La Soul @ Flames Central. Just went because I thought it would be a funny experience. Was not too bad.
-Late night karaoke somewhere upstairs over a pizza place.
Pro Tip - to see Godspeed tonight be there before 6 pm.
That early? I guess I better leave work early today. Space for passholders is pretty limited I take it?

I stopped in at Tubby Dog on my way home last night and there was some free show that was to do with Sled Island. It was really effing terrible. And not the kind of terrible that sometimes becomes awesome in its terribleness like so commonly happens with punk bands. I cannot fathom how those people thought they had any business playing in public.
Yeah, I don't think I am going to bother with Godspeed tonight. I'm not the biggest fan and I have no desire to wait in line.
I'm going to head to the Broken City roof after work. Not sure who's playing, but might as well take advantage of the beautiful day! After that I'm thinking either Daniel Lanois or call it an early night...gotta rest up for the weekend!
