The Tragically Hip at Jackson Triggs Winery: Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON
June 28 2012
I was very lucky to get tickets for this concert.It was at a Winery at Niagara on the lake called Jackson Triggs. Now this was really not my thing but I knew Liz would love it and I was right.She loved it and the venue was prefect.Very small and great seats and a great view.I think maybe 300 people but I am not sure, After Liz sat in just about every seat she found some she liked and they where excellent..A great view we had 3rd row great view.The sound was clear and the band was the best I have ever seen.I think this was 6 th time i have seen and Liz has seen them 3 times.
I love that the Hip is huge in Canada and plays huge concerts ib Canada but in the usa they play to way smaller crowds. So THe hip are Canadian and we love them
Great Concert Great Venue
ps we will need to check out this venue again as i know Liz loved it

So Liz and I are back at the bloor for the first time since the renovation and it was kinda nice.It is wierd but when it was a run down place it flet like home,but that being said the new place is great.I also think that if the renovation had not been done the place would have closed..so anyway the movie.
Juan of the Dead was great, i loved it. Very funny and lots of action.it is a Cuban Zombie film and i belive the first Cuban film I have ever seen.Lots of great Kills and and a few things I have never seen on film before.
The second movie Liz and I did not see as we had a busy the next night.
Great start to the Summer Screenings
PS I want to buy this movie on blu ray and I even tried to find a Juan T-shirt but could not find one..keep looking
I would say 8 out of 10.

Barenaked Ladies (without Steven Page)
Barenaked Ladies performed at Massey Hall
Friday November 26, 2010
So this was one of those concerst I was worried about seeing. This would be the first time we saw BNL without Steven Page and I thought they may suck. I was so wrong we both loved them, in fact I think Liz liked them better then me. They are fun band and seem to really have a good time. Seeing them at Massey Hall is great becuase it is a smaller venue and the sound was great. They did miss Steven a bit on voacls but they where still very good
We will go see them again - I would think they are Liz's favorite Canadian band.

Liz and I like the the stargate show SGU well actually Liz likes it more then me but I kinda like it. Not enough space battles for me but I still enjoy the show. The Space Channel here in Toronto did a live show with the full cast of SGU and they showed an espoiside. The tickets were free so that was nice and we went down to watch the show. It was alot of fun and both Robert Carlyle and Louis Ferreira came on first and both talked openly about the show. The rest of the cast soon followed and it was great to see them all LIVE. I love seeing how they film this stuff and all the the behind the scenes stuff but I have to tell you parts were kinda boring and later when we watched it on TV we both said it was just as cool watching it on TV as it was being there. That being said I am glad we did and it was FREE.
If you're not a fan of SGU I say give it a shot as it's a good show.

Priscilla Queen of the Desert
Sometime in November--Princess of Wales Theatre
Priscilla Queen of the Desert
First thing first - very gay play. Not that it was not fun but super gay. We bought cheap seats again and then moved to better ones which was easy to do as there where lots of seats around. This play is amazing visually, simple and beautiful. The colours are breath-taking (hey, now I sound gay). The play is so much fun and there are lots of songs we all know and sang along to. If you can see this play, go. It's alot of fun.

Jason Bonham at the Sony Centre
Jason Bonham Experience at Sony Center October 29 2010.
I was on the fence about seeing this show. Liz and I have seen bands do Queen, Kiss, and the Beatles and we liked them all. But this had the a guy in the band who was the son of the original band Jason Bonham son of Johmn Henry Bonham of Led Zeppelin fame. So I went. And I'm really glad I did, the show was great. The singer didn't look a thing like Robert Plant but he sounded great. A fun show and I would go back to see them anytime.

Toby Keith @ Molson Canadian Amphitheatre
Toby Keith Molson Canadian Amphitheatre
I've always liked Toby but sometimes when I listen to him I feel my IQ drop. Still, I like his basic, fun country tunes. There were alot of people at the show and some of them wore cowboy hats which I have to say really made me laugh. I was a bit pissed that I didn't wear my cowboy boots as I really miss wearing them but Liz won't let me. I get a feeling that the boots are going to make a come back though and I'll be ready when it happens. The show had alot of smoke and fire and was very entertaining. Opening the show was Trace Atkins who I really only know from the apprentice. He was okay but I really didn't know any of his songs.
It was a good night and worth it. I don't think I'll see either of them live again but I'll watch the videos and buy the cd's.
Toby was 3 out 5
