the weekend

Posted on Oct 22, 2009 by suckamc

Though I kind of wish I was going to Halifax for HPX, there is so much going on here musically this weekend, and this week, that I'm happy to be staying in Charlottetown. Friday night You Say Party! We Say Die! is probably going to be awesometacular.

I'm also curling with a group of friends here at AVC, I'm looking forward to that. Curling is fun!

Hey Craig, hows it going?

My plans for this weekend include going to see Dan Mangan on Saturday.

Also I am wearing two black socks today but they are not matching black socks.

That is all,

Commodore MikeV

i'm seconding martin on the busy-ness of my musical calendar. tonight i am going to see ohbijou at baba's. friday is by divine right, also at baba's. i wish wish wish i could be at the YSP!WSD! show, but it is not in the cards. please don't judge me too harshly. saturday will either be the two hours traffic cd release at hunter's ale house, or the disco rockin llama's at the alibi lounge. there's even something happening on sunday!

the next week & some will be very busy for shows. i think i found one night that does not have a show, but i'm sure that will change!

There is a problem with the link for the Sufjan Steven's Movie.

What are the details around this ?

and what's with the strange pronouncing of Sufjan and Rich Acoin ?

Even though i'm stuck here in Brantford, my weekend is still going to rock since the Arkells are going to be stopping by the Ford Plant on Saturday!

....after that I get to get back to my six page book review on the Paris Commune.....

i saw dan mangan last night here in charlottetown. it was a very small crowd, but a very appreciative one. at one point i had tears in my eyes, it was such a wonderful show. we spoke to him for a few minutes after, and he is just such a nice human being. i can not believe how lucky we are to have an artist like him make the trek all the way from vancouver.

if i did not have commitments i have to keep, i would be on the road to halifax just to see him again.

Why is getting ready for HPX making you harrier? Did you accidently buy a bottle of hair growth formula instead of your usual Aqua Velva?

@mynameismoe

Posted on Oct 22, 2009 by MikeV

Yeah I am looking quite forward to the show. In fact this whole weekend in Fredericton is filled with great music but due to dwindling funds I had to make a choice, and ultimately because he is a favourite of mine I chose his show.

Yeah, switch our show to the Dan Mangan show, I don't really know your stance on folk but it an incredible show. I wonder what he will be like with a real (>8) audience...

Incase you couldn't tell I am going to be in Halifax for HPX but that isn't the only reason I am there. I am also there for the 2009 APICS Math, Stats, and Computer Science conference and programming/math competition. Should be a good time.

17

@Craig

Posted on Oct 22, 2009 by mynameismoe

he said he was feeling a lot better, although still coughing. i was speaking to his brother who said that around 11 that evening was the first time he emerged from his hotel room in a couple of days. bravo to him for still playing!

it seems there is a "touring band" flu going around. one of the members of bruce peninsula was sick (he was coating his throat with honey! novel idea!), and will currie (wil currie & the country french) was commenting how his voice was going.

18

@fumblebee

Posted on Oct 22, 2009 by suckamc

I see the Zolas coming up after the host break, they are the band that the Country French drummer is playing with opening for Immaculate Machine next week!

Busy Weekend

Posted on Oct 22, 2009 by keydive

See now that the weather has turned on me and I can no longer go backpacking, climbing and all that jazz. So I have to make up for lost time and get really drunk on my weekends till ski season starts up. So this weekend I am going to a company social (aka free booze!) Friday after work then I'm heading over to rocknrolllosers place for a bit of drunk pictionary. On Saturday I'm doing a bit of volunteering for the Mustard Seed in the morning then I'm going on a pub crawl that some girl I used to work with is putting on for her broomball team. Sunday I'm just going to focus on how terrible and tired I feel.

37

@pman1978

Posted on Oct 22, 2009 by MikeV

Congrats!

38

@keydive

Posted on Oct 22, 2009 by MikeV

There has been some talk of me video conferencing in for that game of drunk pictionary. Nothing confrimed as of yet though.

You can put your feet inside to get warm. Just don't kick anything. I have just discovered this.

this weekend...

Posted on Oct 22, 2009 by hgummo

I'm going to deadmonton to visit a couple of friends. On Saturday night I'm going to see my friend's boyfriend's band, so hopefully that will be good. The show starts at 7, which i thought was kind of strange. And then I'll probably get hammered and try to forget how stressful my week has been.

41

@MikeV

Posted on Oct 22, 2009 by keydive

If you video conference in that would be amazing.

Posted on Oct 22, 2009 by keydive

What I was trying to say there which didn't work well was this

Hey Heather,

I will get drunk as well in honour of your stressful week at work. I hope you have a good weekend in Edmonton. And remember just because everyone in Edmonton has a mullet doesn't mean it's cool.

And congrats to the dude getting the PhD from UW, I hope those decades of education will be worth it

47

thanks!

Posted on Oct 22, 2009 by pman1978

Thanks for the nice comments. Fumblebee: my PhD is in health studies and I think your computer foot warmer idea is a good one, just try not to get shocked. You're onto something there, maximizing energy usage.

48

@keydive

Posted on Oct 22, 2009 by hgummo

haha... yes, you made no sense whatsoever. but i chose to ignore that and assume that you meant what i thought you meant which is what you just said you meant (confused yet?).

ahh the mullet. my favorite hairstyle. i'll try to restrain myself from getting one while i'm there.

49

@fumblebee

my laptop keeps my lap quite warm. sometimes i set it on my hands to warm them up, as well.

Boring weekend playing with Said the Whale and Hannah Georgas in St. John's, Newfoundland on Saturday night. I suspect we'll all sit around an empty bar while "American Pie" plays on the stereo. Perhaps I'll bring a deck of cards so we can all play go fish.

;)

The Craig Norris Hour drives me drink. Let's just put it right out there.

55

@Craig

Not true. There was that one listener of yours who was strictly into the white stuff. Although I beleive in this case the white stuff was in fact instant mashed potatoes.

56

@Craig

Posted on Oct 22, 2009 by keydive

You would drink too if you listened to The Craig Norris Hour That Is Way Longer Than An Hour Show or TCNHTIWLTAHS as I like to call it every morning.

57

Re:So, if you're not going to The BQE, precisely what are your weekend plans?

Posted on Oct 22, 2009 by MusicSoop

Tailgating all day Saturday before going to see my team, the mighty USC Trojans, take on mcfflyers beloved Oregon State Beavers. Hopefully the Trojans stick it to the Beavs but you never know. If the Beavers prevail I'm not talking to Lee on Monday.

Unfortunately it's an evening game so that means I'll probably miss Islands at the Troubadour in West Hollywood. Or I leave the game early. We'll see what happens.

I did see Hawksley Workman play last night though and that was an incredible show! Great singer, but I don't think I've ever seen someone banter that much. I know for a fact I've never seen someone banter that much in the middle of songs. That was a new one.

58

@MusicSoop

Posted on Oct 22, 2009 by aardvarkk

Please tell me you see some humour in your wish for the Trojans to stick it to the Beavers.

59

Hawksley

Posted on Oct 22, 2009 by hgummo

I've heard from many people that his banter is awesome. I kind of want to see him just for that!

There are a couple other ways of saying it I figured I shouldn't put on a public blog, haha.

61

@hgummo

Posted on Oct 22, 2009 by MusicSoop

It was awesome, and I'm a big fan of banter, but even I was thinking "This is a LOT of banter". Very entertaining. And I never realized what an amazing falsetto that guy has. It was shockingly beautiful when he did it. Not as nice as tb3's falsetto, but close.

62

You Say Party! We Say How High!

Posted on Oct 22, 2009 by axis

Can't wait for Saturday! Yesterday was as awesome as two days ago was terrible. All happened yesterday:

-Secured not one but TWO babysitters for my Halifax outings

-found my long-lost (since Sept) house keys in the beer storage fridge at work- weird!

-Got happy messages from Said the Whale's tour manager

-found my lost beloved missing earring in ny driveway

-made almost $200 tips, spending money for my trip, at work last night. On a night I expected to be asleep by midnight. Oh well, I needed the cash more than sleep.

Best day ever- til Saturday!

63

more PhDs!

Posted on Oct 22, 2009 by Bio Spice

congrats pman1978! i'm convocating this weekend too, with my PhD in Biology from UofOttawa. FINALLY! yayyyyyyyyy!!!! so this boring weekend involves entertaining my parents in from out of town for convocation, so probably a lot of good eating (last weekend I took them to the the Dan Mangan and Will Currie show at the Blacksheep Inn and that was a pretty big hit, although there were some comments about the prevalence of 4/4 time and not being able to understand the first band's words...). there's a cool thing going on at the Mayfair Theatre involving old silent films with live music that we may check out (Nosferatu and Faust, with bands like The Flaps playing... last weekend there was something similar, with music composed by Mike Dubue and performed by The Hilotrons).

best to you all.

64

So...

Posted on Oct 22, 2009 by Craig Norris

It seems as though a lot of my listeners enjoy the drink.

And the learnings.

65

Weekend

Posted on Oct 22, 2009 by Absotively

My mom and my sister are coming to see me. Probably. I think. They'll arrive some time Friday and leave Sunday morning. Again, probably.

I have a thing to go to Saturday night, and there's a significant chance that I will be trying on bridesmaid's dresses Saturday in the day, but I haven't got any plans for Friday night yet.

66

Weekend

Posted on Oct 22, 2009 by rocknrollloser

Well there is Young Galaxy tonight

and DRUNKEN PICTIONARY TOMORROW as previously mentioned. Everyone is welcome to fly in for it. I even found an easel and a flipchart. That is how you know it's going to be good. Depending on how many people show, it might even be a round robin tournament of drunken pictionary.

67

@Absotively

Posted on Oct 22, 2009 by Craig Norris

Well, it seems that you'll be taking your Mom and sister out for dinner on Friday night, right?

68

Wish I was in Toronto so I could go see that Sufjan film. Might have to settle for the New Cohen Bros. in Vancouver. And I'll be studying ALL weekend long for my LEED exam.......and nursing my sore throat.......so that's pretty non-exciting, right?

Thanks for putting some Chad on your list this morning. Great way to start the day :)

69

@Craig

Posted on Oct 22, 2009 by Absotively

Maybe. It depends what they want to do. Dinner would be a good plan, though. So yeah, let's say dinner, tentatively.

Drunk pictionary sounds pretty awesome, especially with a flipchart. That's just taking things to a whole new level.

I think I'm going to Where the Wild things Are on Friday, which will hopefully be awesome as well.

75

"Cows made a man of me" - Dan Mangan's Bassist (I can't remember his name!)

81

Dan Mangan

Posted on Oct 22, 2009 by marggie

I have been trying to ignore that HPX is happening due to having NO money... which is partially due to seeing Corb Lund twice last week and spending it all on booze.

Then I heard that Dan Mangan was playing tomorrow. Now i'm going. What are the chances of it selling out, any thoughts?

82

re: TCNH: What Are You Doing This Weekend?

Posted on Oct 22, 2009 by mynameismoe

@martin oh! i forgot about that! thank you for reminding me. i sort of want to put it in my quotes section. heh.

@marggie it will be well worth the extra poorness. oh gosh. hard to say if it would sell out... do you remember what venue? i am apparently too lazy to look. i have yet to really experience HPX, so i don't really know what it is like in terms of crowds.

83

@mynameismoe

Posted on Oct 22, 2009 by marggie

it's at the Company House. you know, i think i'll just call them. it can't hurt!

Also, where would you recommend I park? Is there parking at Centennial Hall?

90

@marggie

Posted on Oct 22, 2009 by Craig Norris

Be warned that HPX sells "passes" for the weekend. So, even though there may be no tix in advance (and thusly, none sold), people that have purchased passes are able to get into these shows! There are tix at the door, sure, but I would suggest getting there early!

91

@ fumblebee (12 - Mangan))

Posted on Oct 22, 2009 by Benoit from Ottawa

He played the Sheep oh, last weekend. The place was packed, the show was great.

(Though the crowd was inattentive and unapplauding for openers Will Currie and the Country French, sad to say. Buggers had come for Mangan and they weren't gonna be forced to applaud or even pay attention to what was, after all, an energetic and musical performance. Their bad.)

Back to Mangan: bit of a lovefest, ceedees sold, et cetera. Spiffy other players, as you recall I'm sure: excellent electric standup bass, cute and proficient violinista, and excellent other female singer and keyboardist. Good stuff all around, what. Just what the PEI show shoulda been.

92

@themountainsandthetrees

I'm in Halifax on the 15th of November and was contemplating making a stop or 2 elsewhere while over there. Problem is, I'm flying, so no wheels - what's a good way to get from Hfx to Charlottetown without wheels of my own?

@ mynameismoe (17- honey for throat)

Posted on Oct 22, 2009 by Benoit from Ottawa

Old as the hills, that remedy. Apparently works to an extent. (Outside of the soothing coating and easy-to-take taste, honey has its own on-board preservative -- which obviously kills other things, right? I suspect it'll kill buggitos in the throat by contact.

95

@themountainsandthetrees

Posted on Oct 22, 2009 by suckamc

there is a bus, though it is lengthy... if you've got the extra money, you can fly, it's only a 45 minute flight or so. Otherwise you can bug people on peilocals.com, or halifax locals to see if there happens to be anyone heading between the cities. I can even check the days, I've been meaning to do a Halifax roadtrip...

96

@ pman1978 - a PhD...

Posted on Oct 22, 2009 by Benoit from Ottawa

Sorry guy, ain't no such thing as "just receiving my PhD at UW convocation" (my italics).

Just a masters, okay; a doctorate, though, takes real, sustained, novel research.

Congratulations are in order, I think.

97

@Jenelle

Posted on Oct 22, 2009 by tb3

Parking: There's tons of street parking all around Centennial Hall and Victoria Park. There is even underground parking that you get at turning onto Dufferin and it's just after the City Hall entrance.

Debit machines… good question. Just called. (I pulled a "Vish") So the response I got was "I don't think I have ever been to a record show that a vendor has a debit machine". So bring cash. Lots of it.

Debit Machine Robery!

Man oh man, I second the cash suggestion. You want to start pulling money out of those atms in bar's you're gonna be forking over at least $1.50 (sometimes upwards of $2.75) for that machine alone, let alone what your bank would charge for using it.

thanks, Benoit///the intelligence question

Posted on Oct 22, 2009 by Bio Spice

ha! thanks for the great exclamation/expletive, and the congrats. hey, i meant to exchange contact info with you last Sat. night at the Mangan show, but couldn't face wiggling my way back through the crowd. next time. i was near the front, sitting, and didn't notice the inattentiveness of the crowd to Will Currie. that is crummy. their set was SO high energy. i was impressed, both by them and Dan and his band.

Craig, not to disillusion you, but you may just be surrounded by people with an all-consuming pathological fear of facing the real world and getting on with their lives (the blogging may be another symptom of this... for me, that is to say)...

I was just checking out some train/bus combos and it looks like I may be able to swing Moncton/Charlottetown shows - maybe. I'm going to do a bit of work when I get home from, well, work.

Anyone in Halifax with a place to crash Saturday night

@ Craig; musical events past and future (damn, Word line changes don't transpose here! manual, manual, manual)

Posted on Oct 22, 2009 by Benoit from Ottawa

Craig, talking on the radio is hard, I mean people listen! And then they comment! They talk back! The nerve…

Now for some serious musical recounting and extrapolating.

Last night, I popped down to The Mansion, in Kingston : Julie Fader opening (new ep ceedee), with sweetie pie Sarah Harmer on the drums , and singing harmonies, for two songs. Then The Library Voices, whut I like much, having heard them at the Sheep some months back and bought the ep. Exciting band (new drummer, I was told).

Then, In Flight Safety. Put in the earplugs.

Tonight, I’m committed (awww) to go hear Gordie Tentrees; Rodney Decroo; and Dave Lang at the Mouton Noir.

Tomorrow Friday, the Sheep hosts the United Steelworkers of Montreal and The Fugitives.

On Saturday, it’s Rose Cousins with opener Erin Costello (from Halifax).

Sunday, Lynn Miles, Finest Kind, Missy Burgess, Annie Gallup and Katherine Wheatley. I don’t know if I’ll turn completely into a barfly this weekend. Maybe. (Visions of the 2nd movie The Fly…)

as I commented on your facebook status, that would be awesome if you could make it to Charlottetown, I know I could get some people out to a Tuesday night show (despite the non idealness of that day of the week). Baba's Lounge or Ampersand would be the ideal venues I think.
